My Assassin Girlfriend is a very light, uncomplicated time traveling romcom drama that you can watch in the background. Almost all of your usual romcom tropes are in it: 1) enemies to lovers, 2) time travel to future, 3) amnesia, 4) love triangle, 5) evil brother, and 6) cute second leads. Being 24 eps long, I felt that the conflict in the story was not enough to fuel interest on the drama and that there were definitely some episodes that can be considered as filler, fan service episodes.

Acting wise, the actors did ok for their characters. But I’m not sure if it’s because of the script or because of their acting, but I found that the chemistry between the two leads (Ryota and Anna Hollen) was not as sincere as you would expect. Sure they looked cute together, but they didn’t have the same intense chemistry as in other romcom dramas like in My Perfect Mrs. Right or Legend of Huarong.

Watch this drama if you just want to past the time and want time traveling series. But don’t expect too much of anything (ex. chemistry, action scenes, conflict, plotwise, etc.).
