Sweet, fluffy romance with very little angst and likable cast.
I tend to fast-forward in most c-dramas because they drag sometimes or have characters that get on my nerves. Fortunately, this was not one of those! I watched every minute and found myself either smiling uncontrollably at the adorableness of the main leads or laughing at their antics. There was very little angst which is just fine with me. The main leads had amazing chemistry and I cannot stress enough how handsome Darren Chen is! His facial expressions were very well-done and his acting as Wen Bing was excellent. As was Sebrina Chen who is so cute disguised as a boy. I love all their character developments...building relationships and friendships, finding one's dreams and goals...it was just perfect. Wen Bing's mother and grandmother were also great in their roles and I loved all the friendships and romance amongst the side characters! The mandatory other woman, Meng Na, was a stand-out! I loved that they made her cute and adorable and not mean to the FL. Her interactions with the FL's brother were cute as well. All, in all, this is very highly recommended! Cute, sweet, hilarious but also has a good message...work for your dreams and never settle.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet Romance Drama
If you prefer to watch sweet romance drama but good acting-wise then this drama is highly recommended. I would say this is idol drama so it's a bit unrealistic, over the top storyline, however, the ML and FL has perfect acting skills so doesn't give me cringly feeling so highly recommended for sweet romance. Every episode focuses on the ML and FL so that's nice.The only part i don't like is that it is really cringly in some scene which doesn't happen in real-life events. However, the acting is perfect so i felt fewer goosebumps compared to other Chinese drama.
I can't wait to watch ML and FL other drama.

Bye logic and just enjoy the ride
Pros:ML & FL acting & chemistry
For a gender bender drama that defies all logic, the plot and story telling is very smooth
Surprisingly funny, this is props to both writing and acting
Not a big fan of sports drama but the sports reel in this are very well made
Cons:
*SPOILER AHEAD*
The grandma bit is not an effective plot device, she was there at the beginning with a premonition then she was at the end saying tadaaa im the grandma.. like...... The story could have done without this and still be enjoyable
The second leads do not present any significant threat/change in dynamics between the ML & FL
The wrapping up is too slow - wish they move on to how FL & ML are adjusting when not playing in the same team anymore

"Cross-dressing" is one of my favorite tropes in dramas.
It can take many different ways, story-wise. And it reminds me of "The Tale of Nokdu" on some points. Overall, I really enjoyed the drama. Sebrina Cheng and Darren Chen (surprised that they share the same last name lol) did an amazing job with their chemistry and portraying the characters. Also glad to see Darren Cheng again like last time as Huaze Lei in the Chinese remake of Meteor Garden. And Sebrina Cheng was also amazing. I finally got rid of that slump where I stop watching C-dramas for a while but when I found a really good one, I just binge-watch it non-stop for days. This a very well put together drama, a sports drama as well.Was this review helpful to you?
You should watch it!
I really enjoy watching this drama in two days.I really recommend it, but it will depend on each person if they will like it or not, personally I loved it.
Story: 8/10- The reason why I didn’t give full point was because I felt that the beginning wasn’t really realistic 😅. (The thing with the snow ball... and what happened next). BUT overall was a really nice and light drama to watch. It’s catchy when you start to watch it. And even thought it has cliché, it’s enjoyable. I loved his romantic-comedy scenes.
Acting/cast: 8.5/10- I LOVE THE MALE CHARACTER!! Darren Chen really did an amazing job with his character. I admit that I fell for him and his smile and his gaze. His jealousy was something good to see xD...I already saw him in Meteor Garden, but I was the type who preferred Dylan before him in that drama. However, after watching him in this drama, I fell for him deeper than with Dylan. On the other hand, I think the FL, Sebrina also did a good job, BUT the reason why I didn’t put full point for the cast, is because I felt that it was REALLY obvious that she was a girl, because in reality there are many girls like her with short hair...so it wasn’t realistic that just because of her short hair (wig), others thought that she was a boy. I know it’s not her fault since she can’t change her body, but that’s just my opinion. Overall I like how she acted (it was cute and funny).
Music: 10/10- I loved all the ost, and it was funny to hear the cat sound when something happened with Wen Bing.
Rewatched: 10/10- I know that later I will rewatch it, because this was a ‘light’ plot, without any big drama (or plot twist), but because it was really fun and cheesy, it’s enjoyable.
Overall: 9/10- I loved it and I may rewatch it again later.

Young, Sweet Love
It's such a lighthearted and sweet romantic comedy that makes you giddy with excitement of young love.I couldn't wait to see the newer episodes so I went somewhere else to watch it. Darren Chen's expressions are so adorable and the chemistry between him and Chen Yao are progressing nicely. Both are delivering their roles convincingly.
The games are also believable and the lessons learned along the way are encouraging.
The main premise reminds me of Sulli's "To the Beautiful You" when the FL pretended to be a boy and the ML became her roommate. The difference is that both joined in a sport which gives the same vibe as "Skate Into Love". For me, it's a great combination already.
Update: Both leads were on point with their roles and you were just drawn into their young, sweet love. Darren Chen as Wen Bing is so cute and convincing. His concern and the way he helped the main female lead to hide her identity was very endearing. The stolen and secretive looks or smiles directed at Sang Tian made me feel like I was younger and was also back in school! I especially liked that part when the female lead didn't know what " Ti Amo" meant and she kept saying it to him! Sebrina Chen on the other hand, did so well in her acting too. The scenes where she played hockey also looked realistic.
The rest of the cast are all lovable. I like the camaraderie and friendship that they build. It's so heart-warming and made you wish you're included in their circle. The other story arcs were not too drawn out and quite enjoyable without veering too much off topic from the main leads.
Most of all, I just loved the ending. It was super adorable and the scenery peaceful and gorgeously shot. The way the camera panned out in the end to show the whole view was breathtaking. Definitely worth your while!

light and fluffly drama to watch
I started watching this drama because I watched Maiden Holmes. Maiden Holmes and My Unicorn girl have the same FL. Even in Maiden Holmes FL disguised as a boy and she looks good in disguise. So I have started watching My Unicorn girl drama.I have not disappointed at any point. ML is very handsome and the side couple stories are also good.
Beware that most of the part FL is disguised as a boy. Only for a few scenes, she has seen as a girl.
But I liked her as a boy. This is entirely my opinion.
If you want to watch a short and sweet drama go for it don't hesitate.

So addicting sweet and funny
As many other viewers, I didn't expect much from this drama when I started it but it made me change my mind quickly. since the first episodes I was more and more interested in the story and I was craving to find out whta will happen next between the main characters.Even if it's full of predictables scenes and there're not much plot twist, there're always scenes that make me unexpectedly happy and smile for no reason. There're always some situation that makes you laugh and puts you in good mood.
The chemistry between the leads are great, both for the actors and characters, and not only acting is good but also the story is told in a cute and enjoying way.
It's a really funny, entertaining and sweet drama and the visual is just so good! It's also heartwarming and touching in some episodes but for the most o the time is sweet, sweet and sweet but in a really good way.
I like Darren, I've seen many of his drama and this is definitely his best work in my opinion. His acting is really improved a lot and he really did a great job in this drama. He gave something special to this character and I found it very believable, also the other characters are well well played and the friendship between the character is well build.
I really enjoyed this drama and I reccomed it to everyone who likes cute and light romantic drama that boosts your mood.

Short, sweet and cute
Initially this series attracted my attention was cause of "unicorn" (I totally love unicorns =D) and the 2nd was that Darren Chen was in it (I first watched his series was Meteor Garden and really liked his acting). Overall, after watching the drama, my conclusion would be that it is a very cute and adorable series with very little "drama" or those "stressy" moments. If you are looking for something really light, no excessive drama / evil plots, this would be something you can watch -for a first watch. If it is worth re-watching, you would have to decide on your own upon completion.Both the male and female lead are quite adorable together, be it when they are pranking each other or the short adorable "romantic" moments. True, a twist of fate and both of them actually met and ended up with each other, but the process till the very end is quite funny to watch. It is fun to watch how the Male Lead actually cares for the Female Lead but tries to make it as subtle as possible without exposing that she is actually female instead of a male. The tenderness in him is so adorable. I love how the Female Lead tries promoting team work and helps others despite the outcome or the punishment. Despite what many commentators wrote, I find that she is quite good with this character and shouldn't be shot down over minor facts - i.e not good in ice skating / ice hockey.
No one is born ever knowing everything - including actors. Many actors and actresses do have to go through various trainings and teachings just to be able to film the movie or series that they starring in. People shouldn't be so quick to judge, comment or even condemn another just cause they aren't superb in a particular action / sport of the series they are watching!
The music is alright. Some of the songs paired to this series is quite nice to listen to. Would definitely look up the songs and check it out.
