Overall the drama is nice, fluffy, cute, something that you usually expect for a romantic comedy.

Story: It's a fictional story with so much promise in the beginning but left me a little disappointed in the end. I like how it started, though it was abrupt and little confusing, by episode 4 or 5 you will start to understand the process. I just wish they showed l Xiaoqi's planet and how they agreed to make her comeback to earth, her spaceship or how she got to earth. Her planet Cape Town will always be mystery to me. Same goes with Fang Leng, his amnesia is very unusual. I would love to have more explanation about it. There's so much depth into it but it was not address cause the story just focused on Xiaoqi and Fang Leng's rollercoaster relationship. Also, Fangleng's step mom, why wasn't she exposed of what she did to him. It's still bothers me that no justice was served. Sometime in the middle the drama became a drag. It was sort of pointless episodes but you just have to get through it.

Characters: There many likeable characters in the story and but also hated characters here. Male lead and female lead are good in their acting BUT, i really can't deny, i am pissed on the FL for being so fickle minded, a little immature and no growth. I really didnt see her character development at all. Maybe because she is an alien(?) But still. The fact that there are few wasted episodes because she can't make up her mind it, her character became a drag. The second male lead is good too. He is okay. Second female lead is some one I hate in this drama. She is a villain, that's her character and she served it well. I love the the other supporting cast. Especially Ms Chai from the restaurant. I am still laughing at the fact that she is watching When We Were Young lol.

Music: I will keep this short. The OST didn't linger on me. It doesn't have the "i like this, i will add this on spotify" factor.


Rewatch: In my own pov, maybe not

P.S. I am disappointed into their kissing scenes. Maybe because I am used to characters opening their mouth when they kissed. Here, they have a lot of kissing scenes, or maybe you can't call it kissing, more on like peck in the mouth kiss lol.
