My Girlfriend Is an Alien (2019)

slow

So i started watching this drama bcs of tiktok..... (yes i know) But honestly it was a fun an lighthearted watch. It was literally one of the funniest cdrama's i have watched. The acting was honestly really good (Main leads) i liked there chemistry. But its slow and i did skip parts where the mainleads werent shown bcs the villians lacked something. I just couldnt care for them. Im at episode 22 now and its slowwwwwww so be aware of that. I think im also going to watch the second season hopefully its faster and there are more moments of the mainleads in love. But i doubt it.......

light watch, good chemistry between the mainleads, funny
skipable moments, slow and the rest of the cast arent that great

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aliens because he is just that good at everything, and also the quality of the special effects (they just feel way too outdated).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

This series is hella addicting.. After completing this I again started to skim through the episodes but I am still not over it 😂 I am glad to know that a part 2 is about to come in 2022..

I loved the chemistry between our leads, they look so great together.. Instead of destiny playing the cupid between them I think it's more of Fang Lie playing a cupid.. :D He was the reason they met and bonded and when she came back from her planet in the last episode he was the one who helped them meet again.. He is such a loveable character.. I loved his bonding with his bro and Xiaoqi equally..
All the side characters like Mr Han, Sister Chai and the doc were great too.. Mr Han was such a loyal secretary and played his part well to make our leads a couple.. Sister Chai was so sweet to our Xiaoqi and there bonding was more of like a siblings one.. I liked the bond between the doc and FangLeng too..
And how can I forget our little Xiaobu.. She was a loyal friend to Xiaoqi throughout her journey and she knew how much Xiaoqi loved FangLeng and hence she tried her best to protect him and get the annunciator back for our Xiaoqi and was also ready to sacrifice herself to protect Xiaoqi's love ..

I was mesmerized by Fang Leng and Xiaoqi.. there romance scenes gave me butterflies..The way these 2 cared and protected each other was so sweet.. and FangLeng could be cold and sweet at the same time.. he clearly knows how to make Xiaoqi stay by his side despite of her being angry with him.. :D Xiaoqi is really a pure and innocent character who cares about everyone and Fang Leng the most.. Afraid of hurting him she dropped the idea of getting annunciator from his body and was ready to die for him in an unknown planet (this kinda reminded me of My Love from the star :D). As a child when FangLeng lost his mother, he shunned off all his memories as he was not ready to accept the sadness nd guilt of her mother's death.. But for fear of not remembering Xiaoqi he embraced all his memories back.. This shows his love for these 2 imp women in his life ❤️

There are a lot of romantic moments in this series which made me more connected to it.. A must watch series.. :)

Nice, pleasant series, if you agree to disconnect your brain (｡◕‿◕｡)

You need to accept that you'll disconnect your brain (｡◕‿◕｡) because the plot and the behaviors are sometimes very eccentric.

PLOT:
Romance between 1 FL alien and 1 ML, CEO with major trauma (and amnesia when it rains :). Twists: 2 love triangles and enemies internal to the company (mother-in-law & her brother).

PROS:
+ ML handsome & CL cute, with good chemistry.
+ good dose of humor
+ Some very nice scenes, with good special effects.
+ SML is not selfish, even when in love.

CONS:
- Many, many inconsistencies, both in the story and in the behavior of the characters.
- Many (too much (૭ ◉༬◉)૭⁾⁾⁾⁾ ) clichés: evil and cunning love rival, jealous and toxic mother-in-law, crooked uncle and rival in company, etc.
- Some characters (restaurant manager) are overrated and overplayed.
- Turtle (CGI) too visibly artificial.
- FL sometimes annoying.

=> Remake much less poetic, but funnier than the male Korean version (witch also had better OSTs).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sympa, agréable et addictif, si on accepte de débrancher son cerveau ( ｡◕‿◕｡ ) car le plot et les comportements sont parfois très farfelus.

PLOT:
Romance entre 1 FL alien et 1 ML, CEO avec gros trauma (et amnésie quand il pleut :). Twists : 2 △ amoureux et ennemis internes à l'entreprise (belle-mère & son frère).

PROS:
+ ML handsome & CL mignon avec bonne alchimie.
+ bonne dose d'humour
+ Quelques très jolies scènes, avec des effets spéciaux de bonne qualité.

CONS:
- Beaucoup, beaucoup d'incohérences, tant dans l'histoire que dans le comportement des personnages.
- Beaucoup (trop) de clichés : rivale amoureuse peste et rusée, belle-mère jalouse et toxique, oncle tordu et rival dans la société, etc.
- certains personnages (gérante du restaurant) sont surfaits et surjoués.
- Tortue (CGI) trop visiblement artificielle.
- FL parfois agaçante.

=> Beaucoup moins poétique, m ais plus drôle que la version coréenne masculine.

Romance between a cute innocent alien and a cool handsome ceo. From the very beginning you can tell that the man has soft spot for the girl which is really cute. They both has to go through a lot of hardship such as family disapproval, appearance of rivals and many more but in the end they will always end up together. I can guarantee that the drama is really hilarious and the chemistry between both main lead is just amazing. You can tell and feel how much they love each other which make them a good actor and actresses.
P/s i really love the way they promote when we were young(the female lead first drama) through this drama?

Cute lighthearted romcom

Likes: the buttoned up ML's chemistry with the adorable sweet FL. The FL's cute hairstyle. It's light and fluffy

Dislikes: There's a freaking talking turtle in this drama. Also, too many filler scenes that I wound up skipping cuz I just didn't care

I love me some love/hate romance as it creates that tension between the leads that I find so addicting. Here you have the uptight buttoned up ML who has a memory problem due to a trauma and the sweet adorable alien FL who winds up getting into his space. The two have some chemistry especially on the ML's side as his intensity is a bit hot.

I loved when the two were in the same scene and couldn't care less when they were not. I thought the progression was a bit frustrating as well. I felt like they tried to stretch out the tension between the two for too long that it kept going in circles that started to get a little boring. Also, I could have done without the talking turtle as well. Was a bit corny.

But the overall tone was light and fluffy and the chemistry had me hooked, so I found it an easy watch.

This drama...wawww I like it. the music, acting, romance, seriousness.omgod.... I cant..
I'm listening to the song rn ...ending song while typing and it's making me cry. I love the ending. I like how they created a solution to the problem instead of showing the solution without explaining it. At first, I was likee... what's with the title..so OA. I first saw this drama on IG. it just keeps popping out on my feed and I began to like it. So...instead of finishing my other drama...I started watching this drama. and I did NOT regret it at all. It's been a while since I watched a Chinese drama and I like how this drama gave me the chance to watch Chinese drama again.
I love the cast, and the leads especially the other supporting cast. They were amazing <3
I just wish they didn't give too much info in the introduction of the drama and end. It's kind of spoil so like whenever I watch another episode, I check which part I haven't seen and I just keep waiting for that part to come. So.....but it was good. showing parts with music <3

I loved this show! I saw come clips on Facebook and was kinda intrigued on it! So I decide to go watch it, I was actually so addicted to this, I found it soo interesting.

Like a alien girl and like a really good looking like CEO! Of course I would like to watch this. I think Thassapak Hsu who is Fang Leng in the show was such a good looking character and actor in general, he portrayed the Boss, CEO look really well! -

I loved Chai Xiao Qi played by Wen Peng! I think she was such a good actor and the little turtle! I loved the turtle, I thought he was so cute, and the mother figure who took her in and let her stay in the shop! I really liked her as well!

I think it's definitely worth the watch, and I hear a season two is coming out so would love to see what happens next!

I'm not sure where to begin with this drama! I loved the first half. The ML and FL had such great chemistry together. FL was pretty and adorable and her antics with the ML were hilarious, yet sweet and innocent. ML was handsome (swoon-worthy smile!!) and charming and his reaction to FL was perfect too. There were definitely a lot of laugh out loud comedic and sweet moments.

Midway through though, it started to get really long because there was no resolution to ANYTHING. The obsessive ex-girlfriend and mad scientist never stopped being evil for 25 episodes, the evil stepmother and uncle were relentless for 27 episodes (I never could understand that one because the father treated the stepmother's son well and wasn't out to short change him), the FL one minute was crying for the ML (like heartbreak crying) and then the next minute she rejects him and acts like nothing is wrong (bright cheery smiles), which happened multiple times throughout the drama (did she like him or not?), and ML never finds out she's an alien until episode 26 (even though she's frozen time and done other things). I got so frustrated I ended up fast forwarding through episodes and just watched for the ML and FL.

The last 2 episodes though were gems and basically redeemed the drama. ML finds out FL is an alien and there's true communication and FL finally commits to ML (FINALLY). We finally get to see how heart warming, and genuine ML and FL's relationship could be and I have to say ML's acting chops were impressive (turn on the water works). The ending was well done and I'd love this drama if it were 10 episodes shorter!!

The most underlined of this story is the acting of the two main characters. The acting of the main male character at MGIAA is extraordinary. That's what makes me drift with the story even though this kind of story actually has many versions in Korean dramas.
If you are looking for a drama with a light story, a character who indulges in visuals, and their acting is no less impressive, this drama can be your choice. I really like watching back funny and adorable scenes because their acting is very natural. The scene when Xiao Qi teased Wan Peng was really a scene that also tempted me to do it. Because of the two of them, I also drifted into the story until the end. Watching for the second and third times also feels like it won't waste your time.
