My Girlfriend is an Alien (2019)

This drama is not really your typical romantic drama. The main leads were great, the acting was very superb. I really love the male lead, especially the last episode wherein he was left behind. The emotions were very real. I love the cast! I love the humor and everything about it. Definitely recommending this drama. 10/10 for me!

PS. Here I am again, having my major second lead syndrome. But okay, the main lead was also good so I think Xiao Chu deserves him.

I am just having difficulty sometimes on distinguishing Fang Leng and Fang Lei. Both have the same pronunciation hahahaha. It was already on the 20th episode wherein I have already know perfectly who Fang Leng and Fang Lei is ❤️


But really, I love the cast!!!

I just give 10/10 score for this drama. It’s not because this movie is perfect, But I enjoyed it so much.
The story itself is so light. But It’s totally not makes me boring. And one more thing it’s because of FangLeng. Omg, I love him so much... His acting can makes my heart fluttering and I smile a lot during the drama! And the most important thing, the Female Lead (FL) will not annoyed you with her acting. Most of the drama I watch the FL is so annoyed, try to acting cute, innocent, but ends up it’s annoyed so much.
If you want to watch this drama, make sure to not think so complicated. No need to think alien must be very hi-tech or what. Just enjoy the drama!

ONE OF THE MOST ADORABLE COUPLE

This is such a nice drama. The concept is so beautiful. The way everything was set up and put into the line, all the scene makes sense and are really convincing. There are so many scene that are really funny. Like I laugh my heart out. There are scene that melted my heart. Some scene are really heart breaking, like I literally cried; especially the scene when FANG LENG forgot XIAOQI. The best thing about these drama are that at one time the negative characters also understand the things and they stop causing problems the the people around then. The time XIAOQI got kidnapped, it was soo interesting to see both the brother getting anxious about her and then rushing to save her. The things happened in the last episode was so unexpected, like I really thought that she is not going, or something will happen because of which she will not go, but when she suddenly left and FANG was sitting in the middle of the road crying to himself....that was painful. But the good part is that BIE really knows how to cry gracefully, how to look handsome when he is still crying. And the most surprising part is that she came back after two years and she will be staying there with him for ever.
ROMANTICE SCENE:
When FANG was in the hospital because of the allergy that was cause and at night XIAOQI showed him the beautiful sky and the galaxy that generally people cant see.
When FANG was watching XIAOQI dance with LIE in the party.
When FANG kissed her in the pool side.
When XIAOQI was tying the tie for FANG.
When FANG stopped her from going away and he rushed from the hospital for that; and then let her go when he got to know her situation.

FUNNY SCENE:
When XIAOQI carried FANG in her back and rushed to the hospital.
When FANG took XIAOQI to get her dress changed after she fell from her scooter while going to deliver the food.
When all three of them went to the perfume maker and then XIAOQI and FANG was in the coffee shop.
When XIAOQI forcefully made him swallow the tablet with her mouth.

Really waiting for part 2 of this series. Hope to see more funny scene, romance, friendship, good acting, handsome man, beautiful girls. Worth giving a watch !!!

slow

So i started watching this drama bcs of tiktok..... (yes i know) But honestly it was a fun an lighthearted watch. It was literally one of the funniest cdrama's i have watched. The acting was honestly really good (Main leads) i liked there chemistry. But its slow and i did skip parts where the mainleads werent shown bcs the villians lacked something. I just couldnt care for them. Im at episode 22 now and its slowwwwwww so be aware of that. I think im also going to watch the second season hopefully its faster and there are more moments of the mainleads in love. But i doubt it.......

light watch, good chemistry between the mainleads, funny
skipable moments, slow and the rest of the cast arent that great

Nonsensical Plot but Great Romance

On an enjoyment level, I would absolutely give this a 10/10. The chemistry between the two main characters absolutely made what otherwise would have been a total mess of a show worth watching and bingeable.

The plot and the sci-fi worldbuilding (if you can call it that) are absolutely all over the place, the main characters powers seem to only work when it is convenient for the plot and there is no real explanation as to why the ML is the only earthling she is able to touch. In a way, the sci-fi elements reminded me of the original Star Trek show: super cheesy plotlines that didn't necessarily had to be set in a sci-fi background, alpha male earthling romancing aliens because he is just that good at everything, and also the quality of the special effects (they just feel way too outdated).

The more earthen aspect of the plot feels instead like a Mexican telenovela with villainous step-mothers and ex-girlfriends trying to keep the main couple apart and also on the case of the step-mother trying to destroy the ML for money. Honestly those parts were super annoying because it was way too obvious and predictable, but luckily they don't take up too much screen time.

But let's talk about the good things. The main characters have a very solid romance with all the main tropes I enjoy: a little bit of hate to love; a little bit of fake dating; a little bit of tragic love story (literal star crossed lovers). Their chemistry is so on point that just them looking at each other is enough to give butterflies (good thing too, since censorship doesn't allow for anything more than close mouthed kisses) and it is super satisfying to watch them overcome all the obstacles to be with each other.

Overall, I would say if you like the romance tropes I mentioned, are willing to suspend disbelief and in the mood to watch something mindless and fun, this is worth your time.

This series is hella addicting.. After completing this I again started to skim through the episodes but I am still not over it 😂 I am glad to know that a part 2 is about to come in 2022..

I loved the chemistry between our leads, they look so great together.. Instead of destiny playing the cupid between them I think it's more of Fang Lie playing a cupid.. :D He was the reason they met and bonded and when she came back from her planet in the last episode he was the one who helped them meet again.. He is such a loveable character.. I loved his bonding with his bro and Xiaoqi equally..
All the side characters like Mr Han, Sister Chai and the doc were great too.. Mr Han was such a loyal secretary and played his part well to make our leads a couple.. Sister Chai was so sweet to our Xiaoqi and there bonding was more of like a siblings one.. I liked the bond between the doc and FangLeng too..
And how can I forget our little Xiaobu.. She was a loyal friend to Xiaoqi throughout her journey and she knew how much Xiaoqi loved FangLeng and hence she tried her best to protect him and get the annunciator back for our Xiaoqi and was also ready to sacrifice herself to protect Xiaoqi's love ..

I was mesmerized by Fang Leng and Xiaoqi.. there romance scenes gave me butterflies..The way these 2 cared and protected each other was so sweet.. and FangLeng could be cold and sweet at the same time.. he clearly knows how to make Xiaoqi stay by his side despite of her being angry with him.. :D Xiaoqi is really a pure and innocent character who cares about everyone and Fang Leng the most.. Afraid of hurting him she dropped the idea of getting annunciator from his body and was ready to die for him in an unknown planet (this kinda reminded me of My Love from the star :D). As a child when FangLeng lost his mother, he shunned off all his memories as he was not ready to accept the sadness nd guilt of her mother's death.. But for fear of not remembering Xiaoqi he embraced all his memories back.. This shows his love for these 2 imp women in his life ❤️

There are a lot of romantic moments in this series which made me more connected to it.. A must watch series.. :)

Nice, pleasant series, if you agree to disconnect your brain (｡◕‿◕｡)

You need to accept that you'll disconnect your brain (｡◕‿◕｡) because the plot and the behaviors are sometimes very eccentric.

PLOT:
Romance between 1 FL alien and 1 ML, CEO with major trauma (and amnesia when it rains :). Twists: 2 love triangles and enemies internal to the company (mother-in-law & her brother).

PROS:
+ ML handsome & CL cute, with good chemistry.
+ good dose of humor
+ Some very nice scenes, with good special effects.
+ SML is not selfish, even when in love.

CONS:
- Many, many inconsistencies, both in the story and in the behavior of the characters.
- Many (too much (૭ ◉༬◉)૭⁾⁾⁾⁾ ) clichés: evil and cunning love rival, jealous and toxic mother-in-law, crooked uncle and rival in company, etc.
- Some characters (restaurant manager) are overrated and overplayed.
- Turtle (CGI) too visibly artificial.
- FL sometimes annoying.

=> Remake much less poetic, but funnier than the male Korean version (witch also had better OSTs).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sympa, agréable et addictif, si on accepte de débrancher son cerveau ( ｡◕‿◕｡ ) car le plot et les comportements sont parfois très farfelus.

PLOT:
Romance entre 1 FL alien et 1 ML, CEO avec gros trauma (et amnésie quand il pleut :). Twists : 2 △ amoureux et ennemis internes à l'entreprise (belle-mère & son frère).

PROS:
+ ML handsome & CL mignon avec bonne alchimie.
+ bonne dose d'humour
+ Quelques très jolies scènes, avec des effets spéciaux de bonne qualité.

CONS:
- Beaucoup, beaucoup d'incohérences, tant dans l'histoire que dans le comportement des personnages.
- Beaucoup (trop) de clichés : rivale amoureuse peste et rusée, belle-mère jalouse et toxique, oncle tordu et rival dans la société, etc.
- certains personnages (gérante du restaurant) sont surfaits et surjoués.
- Tortue (CGI) trop visiblement artificielle.
- FL parfois agaçante.

=> Beaucoup moins poétique, m ais plus drôle que la version coréenne masculine.

Romance between a cute innocent alien and a cool handsome ceo. From the very beginning you can tell that the man has soft spot for the girl which is really cute. They both has to go through a lot of hardship such as family disapproval, appearance of rivals and many more but in the end they will always end up together. I can guarantee that the drama is really hilarious and the chemistry between both main lead is just amazing. You can tell and feel how much they love each other which make them a good actor and actresses.
P/s i really love the way they promote when we were young(the female lead first drama) through this drama?

Cute lighthearted romcom

Likes: the buttoned up ML's chemistry with the adorable sweet FL. The FL's cute hairstyle. It's light and fluffy

Dislikes: There's a freaking talking turtle in this drama. Also, too many filler scenes that I wound up skipping cuz I just didn't care

I love me some love/hate romance as it creates that tension between the leads that I find so addicting. Here you have the uptight buttoned up ML who has a memory problem due to a trauma and the sweet adorable alien FL who winds up getting into his space. The two have some chemistry especially on the ML's side as his intensity is a bit hot.

I loved when the two were in the same scene and couldn't care less when they were not. I thought the progression was a bit frustrating as well. I felt like they tried to stretch out the tension between the two for too long that it kept going in circles that started to get a little boring. Also, I could have done without the talking turtle as well. Was a bit corny.

But the overall tone was light and fluffy and the chemistry had me hooked, so I found it an easy watch.
