Highly recommended
To those deciding whether to check this drama out, this review is for you.Not gonna lie, the first two episodes are cringy and you may think this is one of those terrible tries at comedy. But I assure you, from Episode 3 you'll be laughing your heart out! It's a really good light-hearted romcom that is a fun watch. You'll want to keep watching episodes because of how fun and enjoyable it is. Main leads have great chemistry, and there was a lot of almost-kisses that look unrealistic and cringy but it doesn't last too long so it's okay.
At first I didn't like the female lead but she's really nice once you see her in many episodes. She isn't so annoying also so that's a plus. Though her dub is not that great it isn't the biggest problem.
All in all, it's a great watch if you want to feel happier and smile. The dub might sound terrible at first but it's easy to get used to. Hockey and ice skating scenes are great too, not overboard dramatic. Go and try it out!

A winner from the first episode
From the first episode, I knew that I was gonna love this drama and it didn't disappoint.This coming of age drama has very little angst. The leads' OTP status continues to get validated from the first kiss until the last scene. They were very much protected by their protagonists' halos and everything worked out fine in the end of them. Side characters moved on easily and had their own romances. Conflicts were resolved in 1-2 episodes.
This is the most manly role Darren Chen ever had as ML in my opinion. I liked that he never overacted. If his character was portrayed by another actor, it would have been annoying, but with him and his dimples, WenBing came off as mischievous but still caring. Sabrina Chen as the FL Sangtian had a really good chemistry with him. The accidental kisses, playful banters and teasing confessions were nicely executed. I just sometimes felt that Sabrina seemed uncomfortable with her hockey stick, but I chose to overlook it.

Uh... Okay
Honestly, started watching this after seeing Darren in Meteor Garden. And I've never seen this actress anywhere else. So this review is solely based on this drama ONLY.It was cute, I'll admit. You'll see a lot of blue, pink and purple on the screen. But the story as a whole was cliche and kinda predictable. Also, I'd say that Darren somewhat made me annoyed with his bratty actions. And the girl was cheesy and cliched person, probably never moved on from the teenager hormonal self. She was too jumpy and too much talkative for my liking. I did like the second lead better, but definitely not his elder brother. He was a certified asshole with a face like an ASS.
But still, it was bearable.

Best.Drama.EVER
Ok so this is one of the best dramas I've watched and will always love because I love the chemistry between the leads. I love the actors (especially Darren Chan) and I love how cheesey and fluffy this show is.And don't even get me started on the MUSIC.
The OST is absolutely AMAZING.
All in all I absolutely recommend this drama 100%. I feel really bad for people who didn't enjoy it cos they really missed out.
So I hope whoever is reading this won't aswell.
Best points:
1.the chemistry
2.cheesy scenes (but not too cheesy that it's cringe)
3.the OST
4.darren Chen (of course)
5.the story
The only thing that just bothered me was too many accidental kisses. But I don't personally mind it's just logically that's so many.
But as someone who loves dramas with LOTS of kisses, I love it.

I'm bored so just decided to watch anything spontaneous & here I come to My Unicorn Girl. So I start this drama expected nothing & nothing I get in return. If you say this is quite cliché... yes maybe it is. But is that cliché make me bored when watch this drama? No, not really. Do I enjoy my ride watch this drama? You can say so. But nothing special from this drama that can make it stand out too.What I like from this drama, but also in the same time make me bored watch this drama is...
They have no problem. This is one drama that really lack of problem, a really peaceful drama. No love rival, no stupid jealousy, not even when Sang Tian identity as a woman uncovered they make it into bigger problem. So yeah if you look for this type of drama, you'll gonna love this drama.
What a big problem to me is the hockey part of the drama. They make it look so easy to be a professional hockey player. They just do the bare minumum exercise for the player, nothing even when you compare it with Skate Into Love or any other sport related drama.
The character here you can describe as don't judge the book by it's cover. Everyone like has other personality within themselves. Like Meng Na, she is one feminine girl, but turn out she likes to play online games or Coach Ma who we see as tomboy girl but turn out she has girly side when we looked at her house.
How about our main lead...? I quite like them, their chemistry I don't say all over the top, but yeah they quite fit as a couple. Quite like Wen Bing, he quite mischievous but at the same time he really know how to protect the one that he loves.
Overall this is just one drama to spend your days, nothing a miss even you don't watch this....

Actually quite enjoyable
Alright so I watched this because I honestly just didn’t know what to watch, and I actually liked it quite a lot.Cast: I was a little unsure about the choice for the Main actor, I liked him in Meteor Garden, but I didn’t feel like his acting was that great as to portray a leading role, however, be it because his previous role was not challenging enough, or because he got some more coaching, I absolutely loved him in this one. At some point I even forgot that he’s the same dude who played the rather monotonous Huaze Lei in Meteor Garden. In the End I don’t think I could imagine another actor playing his role in this one. Of course he wasn’t perfect to every detail but he gave his character so much charm.
As for the female lead, I really loved the actress that played her. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Drama where they put so little effort into making her “look male” and she still looked the part (like a pretty young man), she also acted very well as a young girl who disguises herself as a man, to me it made sense that most of the other characters took her for a man, that’s what I’m trying to say.
As for the side characters, I thought it was interesting to see so many known faces, playing side characters, they all did very well.
Plot: Now this is what is interesting, watching this I had this constant “manga” feeling. The entire plot, everything that happened and how it was portrayed looked 1:1 like a manga made into a TV Drama. This was really interesting, and also kind of entertaining on one side, but it also means that there were some parts that did not make a whole lot of sense, seen as a TV Series. Like there are things you can do in Mangas, that only work in Mangas, for example people finding stuff out but then seemingly forgetting about it for the next few Episodes/chapters; very crazy ways of punishment, that might make a romantic scene in a Manga but are just kinda over the top put on film, and so on. Let’s say sometimes it felt a little too unrealistic.
As for the main couples story and their development, I vastly liked how it developed, I liked their chemistry, and the plot that “connected them” was also quite entertaining. However it did feel a little too slow-burn at some point in later episodes. There was one scene where I literally thought, just get it together already. There was also a little (in my eyes) unnecessary Drama added, but it was solved quite quickly so it’s no big deal.
Now there’s one part to this storyline which I personally enjoyed, because it underlined the thought of “命中注定” （something like destiny/meant to be together), however I feel like this part might be problematic in the eyes of some people, who experience the the thing they used to tie the Leads together. (Sorry for being vague I don’t want to spoiler, you will understand if you watch it). To me it added nicely to the kind of unrealistic “meant to be” love story that this Drama was telling, but it might feel a bit tasteless to other people.
I also vastly enjoyed the side stories, they weren’t explored too deep, to me it felt just right.
I also enjoyed the athletic side storyline, it didn’t feel boring at all, and gave the Drama some nice extra plot, apart from the love-line.
All in all this was a nice, unrealistically ‘romantic’ Drama, that didn’t feel too long nor too short. It’s the kind that you can really enjoy the first time around, but I would not necessarily watch it a second time.

Unique kind of girl...
Sebrina Chen and Darren Chen...both are considered as versatile actors. I love the bickering scenes of Sang Tian & Wen Bing that turns to love.I love the ice hockey team here. The whole team will inspire you to watch an ice hockey game for real. On the other hand, i don't like the part of story between Sang Tian's brother, an online gamer and Meng Na, an ice skater (it seems the story will go on without their part:()Sorry...I don't like the acting of Meng Na here, quite annoying hahaha.
I will support Sebrina Chen and Darren Chen. Also, the second lead and his brother in the ice hockey game were quite good. I like the cold expression of the brother from the other team...it made me adore him hahaha. Kidding aside, you must watch this drama. This drama got 8 points out of 10 from me.Jiayou!

Cute as heck
Unicorn Girl was the Chinese drama that woke up my inner love for slice of life, comedy-romance Chinese dramas that I didn’t know I had. Now, to be perfectly frank, this drama isn’t actually what I would classify as a good drama by any means, however the emotional attachment that I have to the tropes that were in this drama, as well as the time in my life during which I started watching Unicorn Girl, both led me to develop an unusually high emotional attachment to its characters and its messy but oh-so-sweet plot. Before we go any further, let’s just acknowledge the fact that Unicorn Girl had a few hundred too many accidental kisses slash “female falls over and male catches her *cue slo mo montage with romantic music*” scenes. It was quite ridiculous, but I grew to appreciate the cheesiness after it happened about 10-15 times. Just goes to show that some things can be so bad that they become good. The whole storyline of this drama isn’t what I would classify as original by any means, but it’s not trying to be so it’s totally okay. Both actors had incredible chemistry and the pacing of the drama was very well done. I’m honestly complete trash for cross-dressing dramas, and if there is any drama that involves one of the leads pretending to be the opposite gender, I will EAT IT UP. Frankly, that’s probably the main reason why this drama ended up being rated so high on my list. Now, one last thing: the soundtrack in this cdrama is one of the best I have ever heard. Though it is short, all of the songs sound absolutely amazing and made me super emotional. Now, with all that said, if you ever find yourself in a stressful time of your life with no desire to invest time into a heavy drama, My Unicorn Girl is the perfect stress relief for you!Was this review helpful to you?
Proved how can entertained
My Unicorn Girl proves how can be entertaining if they are done properly. I started watching the drama with slightly middle expectations, I expected it to be silly and overly cheesy and guess what, that's exactly what it is. And that's exactly why I loved it so much. We only had our main leads creating a strong bond. Something that i loved was the fact that normally when the girl pretends to be a boy we have our male lead kept in the dark and it ends up with a lot of people knowing it but him, but in the case of this series our main male lead found out pretty quickly.Was this review helpful to you?

who needs a love life when this drama exists
Honestly i don't even know what to say or where to even begin.Story: think of the most cliche, cringe, partly unrealistic plots and picture it all together as a drama and you will get this: my unicorn girl. But do not fret cos when i tell you that even though this drama had all of that, i was addicted from the first episode and binged it all. I don't even know why i decided to watch this, i came across a post on Instagram and just thought it'll be an "on the side if i can be bothered drama" but i invested so much time into this its ridiculous. I mean every accidental kiss had me going crazy and be aware there were loads, not that i'm complaining. Its a basic story, but its cute and fluffy and overall joyful. Its so cliche I cant even stress that enough but that's the best part of it. i'm pretty sure there were a few mistakes here and there and i mean the whole story is questionable in a way but even then it is so worth the watch.
Acting/Cast: i cant even begin to imagine this drama without the people it had. They did a pretty good job and the chemistry the leads had was just *chefs kiss*. i literally watched it for them. Darren Chen as Wen Bing and that's all i have to say. i fell in love with him and now i cant get him off my mind. just watching him being all mischievous and playful its a joy to watch. This drama just suited him so well and i need to see more of this. He just looked incredible and i can't with that. And then there's Sang Tian, innocent little Sang Tian. She was so cute. The actress did pull off that boy look pretty well too. Sang Tian had me tutting at her lil dumbness. ti amo. i can never think of those words the same as how i did before i watched the drama. i just loved her. she was so cute.
Music: i was honestly belting out the songs whenever they played. i kinda have one stuck in my head right now. i cant really say much else but the songs were not bad at all.
Rewatch Value: i honestly want to watch it again right now. i cannot with this drama. i am addicted. even with all its stupid cliche lines and plots, i am addicted.
Overall: Even if cliche and cringe is not your thing at all and you puke at the sight of even one basic romantic comedy plot, I beg you to watch this just for the fact that its full of them. Watch it while its playing in the background or as an on the side if you can be bothered drama like i was going to and just fall in love like i did.
