I'm going to keep this review short and simple Firstly, I watched this show fairly quickly, so it does have its addictive value.
I didn't skip ahead in any scenes except for the last episode which is weird since most would most every second of the last episode. But my reason was the ending...
To many, the ending is happy since Abu ended up with Yi Hai Lan, but what is stupid and unjust is the treatment to the actually Xuan Mo. This Abu not only stole Xuan Mo's body without properly asking to use it but also stole her life, her crush and her friends. I thought once at lease in the middle of the show Abu would return to her planet, and leave Xuan Mo to Yi Hai Lan and they both get together, but no. What's so inconsiderate is that everyone's mean to Xuan Mo, the original girl without any supernatural abilities, high intelligence and extreme fighting skills. But once she is possessed by this alien everyone likes her. What the nonsense? At least they should have let stupid Abu leave the girl in the end I mean you already fulfilled your mission, and you claim to be so great Abu, but you still have possession of Xuan Mo's body. Imagine how Xuan Mo would feel, just being trapped in her own body, but it's not her that's having the fun times with her friends, brother and Yi Hai Lan. I mean like her life as an actual human being was so depressing, at least give her something you know? The entire time I was waiting for the real Xuan Mo to come back, and when she doesn't I immediately hated Abu. Abu even had the nerve to say "I wanna be with you forever" to Yi Hai Lan so irritating. And what is even ruder is that none of the characters find it wrong for another being to have control of Xuan Mo's body and none of them tells her to leave so that they can see the real Xuan Mo which means they didn't give a s*** about the real Xuan Mo.
However, despite that the story is alright.
Still mad though
Though I was keeping it short and simple but I guess not.

Regarding some events that some users disliked
I’m seeing a lot of people talking about how unfair it was for the original Xuan Mo to be gone while Abu Dory took over her body and lived her life. But the thing is that, if my memory is correct, the original Xuan Mo let Abu take over her body. She was tired to being bullied, and remember that this was some days after her being rejected and embarrassed by the one she has a big crush on. Xuan Mo gave permission and said that the life she has been living is too exhausting to live. She hopes that Abu Dory would take her place and live the kind of life she wanted to. Protect her mother and to love the person she wasn’t able to love . Abu Dory said that she would try to fulfill her request and Xuan Mo smiled, thanked her, and said goodbye. I’m guessing that she just faded from existence willingly. If you’re doubting my credibility, please watch the beginning of episode 2.Also the person that Yi HaiLan loved was Abu Dory, not Xuan Mo herself. He loved her personality, so even if the original Xuan Mo came back, he would still love Abu Dory.
Overall it’s pretty good. The English sub playlist of this messed up in the last 4 episodes; the subs and episode order came out wrong. But in the end I was able to watch it in the Chinese raw drama playlist without the subs. So fair warning, you will be confused in the last 4 episodes of the English sub playlist and I suggest you watch the indo subs or the raw version becuase at least they got the episode order right.

Bad moral in this show
Probably also due to bad subs, but the storyline was hard to follow. Some plot holes and weird unfinished introductions to characters and situations. Also, even though the original Xuan Mo gives up her life for the alien willingly, it's ridiculous that she is not allowed to return and that the message being sent is that frail, bullied girls are quickly forgotten and that the strong, invincible replacement is loved by everyone. What a horrible message to send out into the world, that your brother and crush only love a better version of you, and that classmates only like and appreciate a stronger and better version of you. I had imagined that in the show, Abu Dory would get the ML and brother to warm up to the FL, then leave for her mission and let the original Xuan Mo return, with some of the strength left so she can live a better life without being bullied, and with the love of her crush and her brother, but no, the creators thought it best to kill off the frail, unloved girl and replace her forever by an alien who's naturally perfect in EVERYTHING... Even though it was nice to see the alien starting to appreciate human emotions, it's still not a good message to teenage girls who are frail and feel dispensable, to never let the original Xuan Mo return.Lu Yu Chen was the best character in the show. Most handsome, funny (although a bit too much sometimes), tough guy, getting more mature and learning from his mistakes. The plot holes though... why did he go to a different school and then got transferred to Xuan Mo's school, what use was the guitar playing for the plot, and his best friend could have been left out too. It wasn't the worst show I've seen, but also not very good and not worth rewatching. And the horrible idea it implies, that you are not worthy of living your life unless you are strong and can stand up for yourself...

It was an interesting story
I really loved this dram, and for those saying Abu stole momo's body SHE DID NOT clearly rewatch ep 2Also the characters were amazing, although momo was too dumb at the beginning i am glad that she improved and surpassed yi han lian , i also loved the music
Even though there were sub titles problems i gave it a 10 because it is not the fault of the producer, crew or casts
I also kinda wished they showed us yi han and momo/abu getting married and also jinging with her lover
In all its a great drama ?

the very basic plot from novel was changed, the characters' background was changed too. the story in the novel was more profound and deep while this alteration in the drama was like a story that 12 y.o write.
The Setting in the novel was done better, and don't even mention the side character. The original Xuan Mo in the novel wasn't as stupid as Xuan Mo in the drama, she wasn't pushover either. Yi Lai Han in the novel wasn't a character that got a lot of spotlight, he's just some unimportant side character. And the character of Yi Lai Han is VAST different than here....sigh....
