Ice Hockey Girl (2020)

EPISODE 21

I was gonna give this a 7, even though how hockey is portrayed is completely unrealistic, and well, really, a lot of things were super unrealistic. But because there was never any super annoying drama, I was gonna give it a pass. And then came episode 21. Episode 21 is the most degenerate episode. We don't talk about episode 21. That episode ruined my 7 rating, turning it into just a boring 6.5.

Also, the dude does so many genuine things to help the chick and protect her, yet never expected anything in return. Never even mentioned all that he did. He also didn’t blow up in anger when she called him a liar when he could’ve called her out for being a hypocrite—as she is also a liar. He lied (by omission) about a health condition; she lied about her own gender. There's a difference and a similarity in those. But she's the one that gets the angriest? The dude is warranted anger as well. And they both knew each others' secret before they revealed it so... both liars.

Binge Worthy, Light Weighted Fluff

Please watch past the first two eps before you decide if you want to continue! The first two eps were trash, but I'm glad I decided to continue anyway. This is definitely a feel-good drama. The story is nothing special and follows the cliches. Like the director of the drama even said this concept has been done before and that the only thing that makes this drama stand out is its focus on hockey. This is probably the only reason I stuck with this drama and its storyline. Nonetheless, the drama was addicting and managed to make me watch all 24 eps. I would've enjoyed this drama even more if they actually gave more focus to hockey than the romance. As for the acting, it was not the best, and cringe at times. I think this was partly due to the dubbing, which I think always ruins the naturalness of a drama. The chemistry was there between the main leads; however, all the kissing scenes were unnatural. For the music. it was nothing special but still catchy.

Highly recommended

To those deciding whether to check this drama out, this review is for you.
Not gonna lie, the first two episodes are cringy and you may think this is one of those terrible tries at comedy. But I assure you, from Episode 3 you'll be laughing your heart out! It's a really good light-hearted romcom that is a fun watch. You'll want to keep watching episodes because of how fun and enjoyable it is. Main leads have great chemistry, and there was a lot of almost-kisses that look unrealistic and cringy but it doesn't last too long so it's okay.
At first I didn't like the female lead but she's really nice once you see her in many episodes. She isn't so annoying also so that's a plus. Though her dub is not that great it isn't the biggest problem.
All in all, it's a great watch if you want to feel happier and smile. The dub might sound terrible at first but it's easy to get used to. Hockey and ice skating scenes are great too, not overboard dramatic. Go and try it out!

A winner from the first episode

From the first episode, I knew that I was gonna love this drama and it didn't disappoint.

This coming of age drama has very little angst. The leads' OTP status continues to get validated from the first kiss until the last scene. They were very much protected by their protagonists' halos and everything worked out fine in the end of them. Side characters moved on easily and had their own romances. Conflicts were resolved in 1-2 episodes.

This is the most manly role Darren Chen ever had as ML in my opinion. I liked that he never overacted. If his character was portrayed by another actor, it would have been annoying, but with him and his dimples, WenBing came off as mischievous but still caring. Sabrina Chen as the FL Sangtian had a really good chemistry with him. The accidental kisses, playful banters and teasing confessions were nicely executed. I just sometimes felt that Sabrina seemed uncomfortable with her hockey stick, but I chose to overlook it.

Uh... Okay

Honestly, started watching this after seeing Darren in Meteor Garden. And I've never seen this actress anywhere else. So this review is solely based on this drama ONLY.
It was cute, I'll admit. You'll see a lot of blue, pink and purple on the screen. But the story as a whole was cliche and kinda predictable. Also, I'd say that Darren somewhat made me annoyed with his bratty actions. And the girl was cheesy and cliched person, probably never moved on from the teenager hormonal self. She was too jumpy and too much talkative for my liking. I did like the second lead better, but definitely not his elder brother. He was a certified asshole with a face like an ASS.
But still, it was bearable.

Já faz um tempo que eu assisti, mas descobri que um dos meus doramas favoritos n tem uma resenha em português, então tive que agir.
Eu amooo demaaaais esse dorama. Pra começar a atuação impecável dos atores, e a personalidade perfeita dos personagens.
Como sempre Darren Chen arrasando, e interpretando um personagem perfeito.

Eu estava em um hiatus de dorama quando assisti, e My Unicorn Girl me botou de volta nos trilhos. É um dorama suuuper divertido que te faz rir demaaais, com um romance muito lindo e suuuper fofo.

Eu tava meio receosa de assistir pela história ser de uma garota q se passa por um menino, e esse tipo de história n é muito minha cara, mas eu ADOREI e n me arrependi nenhum segundo de ter assistido, lembro de ter me prendido do começo ao fim e de ter soltado algumas lágrimas no final, por infelizmente o dorama ter acabado, mas foi uma experiência incrível, que aqueceu meu coração.

Recomendo demaaais, vi algumas avaliações baixas mas é aquilo q eu sempre penso, assista por você mesmo, o q os outros podem n gostar, vc talvez possa amar e te dê uma ótima experiência! ^-^

Best.Drama.EVER

Ok so this is one of the best dramas I've watched and will always love because I love the chemistry between the leads. I love the actors (especially Darren Chan) and I love how cheesey and fluffy this show is.
And don't even get me started on the MUSIC.
The OST is absolutely AMAZING.
All in all I absolutely recommend this drama 100%. I feel really bad for people who didn't enjoy it cos they really missed out.
So I hope whoever is reading this won't aswell.

Best points:
1.the chemistry
2.cheesy scenes (but not too cheesy that it's cringe)
3.the OST
4.darren Chen (of course)
5.the story

The only thing that just bothered me was too many accidental kisses. But I don't personally mind it's just logically that's so many.
But as someone who loves dramas with LOTS of kisses, I love it.

I'm bored so just decided to watch anything spontaneous & here I come to My Unicorn Girl. So I start this drama expected nothing & nothing I get in return. If you say this is quite cliché... yes maybe it is. But is that cliché make me bored when watch this drama? No, not really. Do I enjoy my ride watch this drama? You can say so. But nothing special from this drama that can make it stand out too.

What I like from this drama, but also in the same time make me bored watch this drama is...
They have no problem. This is one drama that really lack of problem, a really peaceful drama. No love rival, no stupid jealousy, not even when Sang Tian identity as a woman uncovered they make it into bigger problem. So yeah if you look for this type of drama, you'll gonna love this drama.

What a big problem to me is the hockey part of the drama. They make it look so easy to be a professional hockey player. They just do the bare minumum exercise for the player, nothing even when you compare it with Skate Into Love or any other sport related drama.

The character here you can describe as don't judge the book by it's cover. Everyone like has other personality within themselves. Like Meng Na, she is one feminine girl, but turn out she likes to play online games or Coach Ma who we see as tomboy girl but turn out she has girly side when we looked at her house.

How about our main lead...? I quite like them, their chemistry I don't say all over the top, but yeah they quite fit as a couple. Quite like Wen Bing, he quite mischievous but at the same time he really know how to protect the one that he loves.

Overall this is just one drama to spend your days, nothing a miss even you don't watch this....

Actually quite enjoyable

Alright so I watched this because I honestly just didn’t know what to watch, and I actually liked it quite a lot.

Cast: I was a little unsure about the choice for the Main actor, I liked him in Meteor Garden, but I didn’t feel like his acting was that great as to portray a leading role, however, be it because his previous role was not challenging enough, or because he got some more coaching, I absolutely loved him in this one. At some point I even forgot that he’s the same dude who played the rather monotonous Huaze Lei in Meteor Garden. In the End I don’t think I could imagine another actor playing his role in this one. Of course he wasn’t perfect to every detail but he gave his character so much charm.
As for the female lead, I really loved the actress that played her. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Drama where they put so little effort into making her “look male” and she still looked the part (like a pretty young man), she also acted very well as a young girl who disguises herself as a man, to me it made sense that most of the other characters took her for a man, that’s what I’m trying to say.

As for the side characters, I thought it was interesting to see so many known faces, playing side characters, they all did very well.

Plot: Now this is what is interesting, watching this I had this constant “manga” feeling. The entire plot, everything that happened and how it was portrayed looked 1:1 like a manga made into a TV Drama. This was really interesting, and also kind of entertaining on one side, but it also means that there were some parts that did not make a whole lot of sense, seen as a TV Series. Like there are things you can do in Mangas, that only work in Mangas, for example people finding stuff out but then seemingly forgetting about it for the next few Episodes/chapters; very crazy ways of punishment, that might make a romantic scene in a Manga but are just kinda over the top put on film, and so on. Let’s say sometimes it felt a little too unrealistic.

As for the main couples story and their development, I vastly liked how it developed, I liked their chemistry, and the plot that “connected them” was also quite entertaining. However it did feel a little too slow-burn at some point in later episodes. There was one scene where I literally thought, just get it together already. There was also a little (in my eyes) unnecessary Drama added, but it was solved quite quickly so it’s no big deal.

Now there’s one part to this storyline which I personally enjoyed, because it underlined the thought of “命中注定” （something like destiny/meant to be together), however I feel like this part might be problematic in the eyes of some people, who experience the the thing they used to tie the Leads together. (Sorry for being vague I don’t want to spoiler, you will understand if you watch it). To me it added nicely to the kind of unrealistic “meant to be” love story that this Drama was telling, but it might feel a bit tasteless to other people.

I also vastly enjoyed the side stories, they weren’t explored too deep, to me it felt just right.

I also enjoyed the athletic side storyline, it didn’t feel boring at all, and gave the Drama some nice extra plot, apart from the love-line.

All in all this was a nice, unrealistically ‘romantic’ Drama, that didn’t feel too long nor too short. It’s the kind that you can really enjoy the first time around, but I would not necessarily watch it a second time.
