K-Drama 
You should watch this one (Why not! )
You would recommend this to others. (YES!)
You could watch this again. (Not really)
I watched 6 episodes then left it because it became too boring for me but came back to it after 8 months and actually enjoyed it. The female lead is just too sweet. I love the way her character doesn’t seem to get hassled by many things. Her focus is on getting her annunciator back and whatever means she can get it by. Of course, in the course of the plot she falls in love etc etc. The male lead is good in his own way. Cold at first and totally in love later on. It’s “Fluff’ to watch if you can see it that way.

Recommended — only if unhinged rom-com nonsense is your thing.
(I'm only giving this positive feedback because I have watched it long back. If I have watched it for the first time now, I'm not sure this would have been my review)My Girlfriend Is an Alien was actually my first ever Chinese drama — and my first drama in general — so I know I’m probably biased. Back then, I absolutely LOVED it. I remember finishing it in two days because I just couldn’t stop watching.
Looking back now, I can admit it’s kind of funnily unhinged. The premise is weird, dramatic, and sometimes ridiculous, but when it works, it really works. From what I remember, the story was entertaining, light, and easy to binge. It doesn’t try to be deep or extremely logical — it exists to make you laugh, swoon, and enjoy the ride.
The show depends heavily on the main couple: the cold, distant boss and the chaotic, perverted alien girl. And honestly? They carry it. I really liked the female lead — she’s cute, silly, shameless, and very lovable. The chemistry between the leads felt natural and fun, and the actors did a good job making the romance believable. Compared to some stiff performances you sometimes see, this felt refreshing.
If I had to complain, I’d say the last few episodes started to feel a bit repetitive. But for dramas like this, I don’t think you’re supposed to take the plot too seriously anyway. It’s more about entertainment and vibes than tight storytelling.
Also, can we talk about the second female lead / villain? So. Freaking. Irritating. But at the same time, that’s pretty common in many C-dramas, so I guess she did her job well.
Even now, after a few years and with my tastes having changed, I still like it. Logically, I’d call it an okay drama. But emotionally? Because it was my first experience and because of how obsessed I was back then, I can’t help giving it extra points. I was satisfied with the ending, and it still has a special place in my heart.

Inconsistencies make this a forgettable drama
The story is nothing new; I guess anyone who have watched dramas for while came across something similar before, so it should be a challenge to make it interesting.Overall it is filled with inconsistencies, probably makes a bit of sense coming from an alien but rather difficult to understand the male lead having multiple reactions - even though having some mental condition. It just didn’t leave me any impression on the events leading to them getting together (and twice!). One particular event that did leave an impression is the female lead getting subdued and restrained by a mad scientist. No explanation why he was able to subdue a powerful alien with his bare hands (maybe he carried her crystallized blood?), really forced I must say. What followed after is really uncalled for, something I would call a torture scene? And thereafter an escape attempt foiled by a violent act on a fair lady. She maybe acting as an alien but it does not make it any easier to watch.
What kept me a bit interested is the female lead, she is so cute and lively especially for the first half. Didn’t think too much of the male lead in the beginning but he grew on me. Among the supporting cast, the restaurant owner and the male lead assistant were the rare sparks in the show.
The OST in the beginning and end sounds nice and compatible to the drama but they were just played in the beginning and the end. There was also a track performed by a male singer that was nice at the very end. What a waste. Cannot recall anything else except for some old sounding tune quite frequently used in many scenes.
I am fine with flawed dramas, but this is one that I completed just for the sake of completing it. I am quite sure it wouldn’t leave any more impression even if I rewatch it.

the best fantasy rom-com cdrama
I loved this series a lot. whether it was plot , characters , romance , comedy and what not was picture perfect. I liked the alien girl xiaoqi, she was so adorable. the chemistry between actors was really good. it is a must watch. this was the best cdrama I have ever watched . the thing I only disliked was that the story was repeating in the middle. it gets little annoying when the lead characters starts hating each other. overall it was a nice experience. It is aa hilarious and heart-felt drama.Was this review helpful to you?

SUCH a cute couple!!
I loved this couple. She was a fish out of water (being an alien an all) but she wasn't portrayed as stupid. Typical cold businessman with a strange disease that causes him to forget women when it rains. Okay, you just have to throw logic out the window. Some really bad kisses that eventually got better. But during the times they are happy together, they are just lovely.That being said, there were some problems for me:
-Evil stepmother trope, plus evil uncle
-His brother likes her too trope
-Domineering father trope.
-Evil woman that will do anything to get the ML trope.
-To top is all off, a psychopathic evil guy.
-Not enough consequences for the evil people.
-There were many, many episodes that could have been edited and pared down. Big example, ML has forgotten who the FL is, gets mad at her MULTIPLE TIMES and says he doesn't want to see her again, but she keeps coming to work and he keeps repeating the same thing. I felt like I was in a time loop.
I'm glad I watched it for the main couple, just could have done without most of the rest of it. I am going to give the sequel a chance.

I JUST LOVE IT
This drama just made me binge watch more of C-Drama - and now I'm biggest fan.For me, this is very light and fluffy drama.
I love Bie Hsu and I just knew that he's thai - no wonder this drama was mainly dubbed.
and Wan Peng is so cute - I'll definitely will keep watching her drama.
Back to the review.
If you are into fluffy and light, this one is for you.
The cute characters somehow will side you from all the little details they put and the sometimes awful costume they use.
Definitely going to rewatch this!

Enjoyed this WAY more than I thought I would.
On top of my head this drama the drama's premise initially reminded me of My Love From The Star, another drama which I really like. However, once you get past the fact it's rom-com between an alien and human...it's pretty much completely different.The thing the drove this drama is primarily the FL. Chai Xiaoqi is a quirky and naive alien character who has this fish out of water curiosity to her that behaving unnaturally that lead to rather funny and interesting moments. She came to earth on a simple mission to study plant life here, I guess, but one day while trying to save the ML she lost her annunciator that help transmit a signal back to her home planet to retrieve. Turns out it was embedded into the ML's heart during the car explosion which knock her into river nearby. The ML is a character who suffers from amnesia, in which every time it rains...he'll forget the women in his life. This made the ML extremely difficult to start any meaningful relationship in his life, that is until he met the FL. Something attracted him to her and eventually he found out that he could actually remember her after one of the rainstorm, so he suspect she might be pivotal to help him cure his illness. Once you get past the extremely weird premise, you'll find a really quirky, fun, light-hearted romance drama.
Pros:
-Likeable main leads and supporting characters. Lots of cute moment. ML
-Cute relationship between the FL and 2nd ML. Although eventually 2ML fell in love with FL, FL has always treated him like a buddy and good friend.
-SML is the ML's brother, despite ML constantly being jealous of 2nd ML whenever he's chummy with FL, he love and supported him.
-FL live with a restaurant owner who, herself, is pretty funny
Cons
- Wacky premise that's really well explained...neither her alien origin or his amnesia make much sense for me even by the end of it.
- Tons of cliches but fortunately for me it's not too overbearing. This might be a major cons to some of you.
- No well-developed antagonist. There are three primary antagonist in the show: the step-mom (almost birth mom of 2nd ML) and her brother, the crazy ex-gf, and the weird scientist. And none of them make any sense, imo. They're just there to bring obstacle between the main couple really.
It's hard to describe what makes this stands out amongst the other rom-com. But I really enjoy the main couple and their romance and their moments together. So, imo, if you can buy into the main leads' romance, you'll enjoy this a lot. It could've been less then 28 episode, imo but it wasn't too long that it truly bothered me.
