Ice Hockey Girl (2020)

Este es uno de los dramas más esperados por mi, realmente esperaba su estreno desde hace mucho y apenas salió el primer capítulo comencé a verlo por lo que lo vi en emisión. Es un drama muy divertido, a mi me encantó. Fue muy lindo y raro ver a Darren Chen protagonizar como el chico malo Wen Bing después de haberlo visto como el lindo Huaze Lei ¡se veía muy guapo! Y aunque Wei Lian también lo es no puedo culpar a la prota por su elección. Yo tenía muchas ganas de ver este drama y cuando salió me puse muy feliz porque están nada más y nada menos que actores y actrices que ya había visto en otros dramas como Huaze Lei (Darren Chen en Meteor Garden), Dylan (Li Jiu Lin en You Are My Destiny), el primer amor de Xi Men en Meteor Garden (aquí Xiao Rou) y la hermana de Wei Lian (zhang yu xi) que la vi en dramas como Die Now, my little Princess y dear prince.

Por supuesto lo volvería a ver ¡es muy gracioso! I love you Darren Chen, nunca imaginé verlo en un papel así, lo hizo muy bien como protagonista y se me hizo imposible odiarlo, más bien lo amé.

A cliché done right.

My Unicorn Girl proves how clichés can be entertaining if they are done properly. I started watching the drama with slightly low expectations, I expected it to be another silly and overly cheesy rom-com and guess what, that's exactly what it is. And that's exactly why I loved it so much.

Honestly, the drama is full of clichés - we have prosopagnosia, cross-dressing, fated love, a questionable amount of accidental kisses etc etc. But they somehow made all these clichés work. The drama never pretends to be something brilliant, it is as simple as possible. What saved the show with its mediocre at best plot, was definitely the chemistry and the acting of the two main leads. I didn't know I was into such cheesy romance stories but now I watched this and I started doubting myself. The drama somehow makes you root for the leads, you want them to be together, you wait for each scene of them with excitement, you smile like an idiot whenever they do something cute and you can't help but feel happy when they tease each other. They make your heart flutter with their innocent, playful love interactions. They are your daily dose of happiness.

The main leads, as individual characters, were also very entertaining to watch. Wen Bing is absolutely one of my favourite male leads ever. He is michevious, extra playful, pretends to be cold-hearted but is actually a small ball of fluff inside... he was just too adorable. God bless Darren Chen for accepting this role, it suits him perfectly and I must admit, I kind of fell in love and I don't know how to recover. Sang Tian was a cutie and she actually looked like a boy, but they should have probably made a different decision about her lipstick, it was a bit too obvious, lol.

Overall, My Unicorn Girl is an amazing show especially if you're looking for something more light-hearted. I mean, it's not perfect, it's a bit far from perfect, but it's good enough. The plot not always makes sense, but the chemistry between the leads is worth seeing. I'm not a fan of Chinese rom-coms, but I did enjoy this one a lot and was always excited to watch more episodes. I'm a bit sad that it's over actually.
