Spoilers ahead

I watch tons of dramas; Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, I mean tons of them. This was a league of its own for me.
I ended up dropping this drama three episodes from the finish line because I just couldn’t be bothered to keep watching. I realized I was skipping 80-90% of each episode but also having no problem keeping the story together.

Story: This was the weirdest/ longest storyline that just wouldn’t wrap up. Everything felt like it was just going on for far too long.
Ex:
FL not being able to tell ML the truth about the chip she needed back because she’s an alien but also showing off all her powers all the time.
ML believing that all the magic she was doing was part of his hallucinations.
The ex girlfriend being able to constantly manipulate countless people which is a running drama theme but this just wouldn’t end.
FL not telling anyone that she was an alien, 25 episodes down and the ML still had no clue about her true identity.
Second Male Lead just completely giving up on his music even though it was so important to him in the beginning and he returned to painting just after a little speech even though he was being forcibly locked away to paint all the time.

Acting: Both leads were good FL was strong and independent and the ML wasn’t a complete self absorbed dirt bag for the most part. He cared about her when he remembered her more than she did in return. The chemistry was definitely there sans the kissing which was frequent but so poor on the FL’s part- worse than Love 020 (which if you’ve seen the show you’ll understand). My biggest gripe with the leads was that up until episode 23 or so it still completely felt like she was only interested because of the chip in his heart but really didn’t care about him much beyond that.

Music: I don’t really remember any of it so it wasn’t remarkable or awful so background mostly.

Rewatch: I doubt I’ll rewatch this or finish it for that matter, nothing interested me enough to even go back and watch episode clips.

Overall: I’d say I’m disappointed by this show and I don’t understand where all the good reviews are coming from. The drama was too drawn out and the chemistry was hindered by the terrible kissing and the unsure feelings by the FL until the very end.
