Well that drama was a ride. It started off slow but kicked off after a few episodes, and was binge-worthy after that. The best thing about this drama is the characters. Casting was spot on. Kim Soo Hyun actually looked like an alien? And Jun Ji Hyun was the perfect casting for her role. And Shin Sung Rok’s face literally looks like it was sculpted to be a villains omg.

I also felt so bad for the second lead!! He was actually a really nice guy and had loved her for 15 years….and probably will all his life. And he always did right by her. And he never complained when she kept rejecting him, I mean. But not to the point where I got second lead syndrome. That spot is forever reserved for Tae Gwang (Who Are You: School 2015). But man, what a guy.

The main couple was cute, yes. I liked that he had the ability to protect her several times, and could stop time + teleport + eavesdrop. It was quite unique in that way. At some points I got Twilight vibes too (decades older than her, has supernatural powers, and rescues her in ‘impossible’ scenarios and denies it). I did like near the end, it felt like their relationship had matured in a sense and they felt like a married couple.

There were lots of good moments in this drama, and lots of comedic moments which I loved. And the bromance between her brother and Do Min Joon was just so..iconic? I loved it so much, all the E.T moments.

The ending was good but why did it feel like it just got chopped off halfway through?? I was sitting there like ‘that was fast! was that it?’ But I can’t complain too much because everything got closure, sort of. It would have been nice to know if he started to age or their future together. And if they have kids…would they have alien-ish powers? So many questions.

But yeah, overall - fairly good. I enjoyed it. Solid 8.
