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aliens because he is just that good at everything, and also the quality of the special effects (they just feel way too outdated).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.
