It's normal for fluffy romcoms to be weak in the story department, but in good fluffs the plot should just quietly get out of the way. However here it has gotten increasingly frustrating before we reached the final episode. Even the OTP relationship is not that great. I mean sure the leads were real pretty, the FL is especially super cute, but all the push-pulling up until the last two episodes was just too much for me to completely enjoy their romance.

Outside of the OTP stuff there is not a whole lot to like in this drama. She is an alien, but her powers are terribly useless most of the time, her powers even failed at providing consistent comedic relief. Her status as an alien does not really come into play up until the last 5? episodes (excluding the hormone thing) & even at that time it's only used for some real stupid stuff and mainly as a tool for the typical 2 years separation plot. The triangle may not be the be the most annoying I have ever seen, but it takes FOREVER to resolve and Xiao Qi even pretends to hesitate up until like the penultimate episode. The plot should've just focused on comedy and the cultural differences between the alien FL & ML, instead we have not only gotten the usual corporate bullshit plot, but it was even presented in a really juvenile way, with the evil stepmom & uncle acting like cartoon villains, then again there are much better Disney cartoon villains out there.. The father character was also just the typical controlling chairman type, fast forward buttoning all his scenes would have certainly improved my viewing pleasure.

The reason why I still ended up rating the drama above 5 is that the comedy in the early episodes was real nice. The alien FL going all handsy after getting high on his hormones was a pretty fun gimmick.

My Lover from the Star and My Amazing Boyfriend 1-2 are hugely better dramas in the same genre, there is no contest whatsoever.
