My Girlfriend Is an Alien

Started it for the title

To be honest before watching it I thought it would be similar to the korean MLFAS versione because they had kind of the same genre background but it was completely different
The Female ead had a unique type of character and I loved it she was adorable, the Male lead was super handsome and he has got a real lady killer smile. The soundtracks felt a bit repetitive may be it's because they used it in many scene same ost , they could have showed a bit more of her superpowers because for me it was too little the time they spent on Xiaqui and the revalation part was very important but they just packed up very quickly the ending in the last 3 eps. If only they removed some unnecessary scenes to make it a bit shorter and dedicate more time on the part where Fang Leng discovers her pwers and nature t would definitely look much better

This was such a fun drama and I really enjoyed it! The summary on this page makes it sound so bizarre but the basic premise is: the female lead, Chai Xiao Qi, is an alien who gets stuck on Earth unintentionally and needs to get her homing device back from the male lead, Fang Leng, a CEO who happens to suffer from a specific kind of amnesia that causes him to forget the women in his life when it rains.

Wan Peng and Hsu Thassapak were so great as the leads and had a lot of chemistry. I thought Wan Peng really pulled off the clueless boy-crazy alien without being annoying. (Maybe a hint of cringeyness at times, but overall I thought she was endearing.) They had plenty of cute moments and kissing scenes, and I laughed so hard when Xiao Qi kept trying to touch his chest. I really loved that this story wasn't instalove for her (just instalust, lol), and she approached everything with a positive attitude. I loved the talking turtle.

If you watched the web drama Fall in Love from this summer, you'll recognize Wang You Jun as Fang Lie, Fang Leng's brother. (I felt like his acting improved here.) His friendship with Xiao Qi offered a lot of fun, playful scenes and I enjoyed the moments between the two brothers as well. I also liked Fang Leng's doctor and assistant, and the "villains" in this drama were very good and provided solid obstacles for our leads.

However, the storyline was a little uneven at times. During episodes 9-13 it felt like the plot was going in circles. While I really loved the two leads and their relationship, I just didn't feel the emotional impact in the last 8ish episodes. Sometimes a moment would occur between them and I would forget how they reached that point. In the last three episodes (26-28), certain storylines seemed to just be set aside and although they were definitely intended to be emotional, I just didn't feel it. But I think the writer(s) did their best to provide a satisfying ending! 28 episodes was a good number, and there are definitely scenes I'd rewatch.

By the way, the behind the scenes clips on YouTube are really fun to watch! It seems like they had a lot of fun filming.

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.

All the cliches and regular struggles with a twist of superpowers

This drama has a little bit of everything I like in a drama, cold male CEO with a power trip and amnesia giving us the chance to see him though his frozen heart over and over again... It has a cute AI robopet that is slightly evil while being just cuter than cute and a female lead that is brave, cool, and not ashamed to show lust... ok she is an alien and no it is not okay to objectify men but considering the norm for c-dramas is horny slightly aggressive men (which we did get here too) and women who are not allowed to show the slight interest in the male body it was refreshing to see a female drule... The drmaa has the regular cliches, with an eviler than evil scheming step mom, an oblivious father, lies, deception, an eviler than evil obsessed second female lead, power struggles and a sweeter than sweet slightly oblivious second male lead...

The characters are pretty okay written not too annoying but will definitely arouse ones inner anger and frustration for those of us in to that stuff this is a pretty decent watch, but not as special as the alien touch to this trope would entail...

The creators of this dram a are most definitely masters of matching not only outfits but the environment and blood too! Not bad huh! However I was slightly disappointed by lack of umbrellas and people flying in the air the cover made way for.

All in all an easy to binge, fun watch but nothing out of the ordinary.

One of my all time favorites!

I love this drama!!! I have watched it three times now and still love it and enjoy the entire show with no skipping! It grabs you right from the start and won’t let you go till it ends.

Story - love the storyline! Could it use some work? Sure! No movie, show, or drama is perfect. But the acting and the whole drama in its entirety make up for any imperfections! It makes you laugh, cry, and want to kick some butts but in the end it turns out perfect!

Acting/Cast - I love the mains! They did an amazing job! When he forgot her I wanted to cry. Just when they were really bonding and he came to realize how important she was to him... he forgets her. She had to go through a lot of pain. And the main actress did a wonderful job playing her roll. I always have to find myself that she is an alien and cannot quite understand human emotions so she is totally oblivious to how he feels about her and how she is feeling. But she pulled it off really well. And the male lead, he did great also. It broke my heart when she disappeared on him and went back home. I cried (all three times I watched it) with him. He pulled off the emotions perfectly. Almost makes me believe it is all real! Haha

Rewatch - heck ya! I love love love this show and hope one day I can buy it so I no longer have to watch it on YouTube. Or hope it is never taken off YouTube!

This drama is so cute and easy to watch. If you are looking for pure entertainment and super puffy chest of Bie Thassapak Hsu, this is it.

I lost count of the times Wan Peng (Chai Xiao Qi) laid her hands or forehead on his chest. Man I wanna do the same, lol! Obviously Bie is so handsome here, but I think Wan Peng is not too bad too. She is at least very cute, though not irreplaceable.

The scenes were scouted in pretty places too. Many buildings, gardens and houses which are cute pretty. The tortoise is funny . Though the CGI not very well, but it's ok, This isn't some kind of high budget drama, so let's keep our expectation reasonable.

OST is so so only, but I remember I went back to rewatch it a few times coz some of the scenes were just too hilarious and cute.

It's normal for fluffy romcoms to be weak in the story department, but in good fluffs the plot should just quietly get out of the way. However here it has gotten increasingly frustrating before we reached the final episode. Even the OTP relationship is not that great. I mean sure the leads were real pretty, the FL is especially super cute, but all the push-pulling up until the last two episodes was just too much for me to completely enjoy their romance.

Outside of the OTP stuff there is not a whole lot to like in this drama. She is an alien, but her powers are terribly useless most of the time, her powers even failed at providing consistent comedic relief. Her status as an alien does not really come into play up until the last 5? episodes (excluding the hormone thing) & even at that time it's only used for some real stupid stuff and mainly as a tool for the typical 2 years separation plot. The triangle may not be the be the most annoying I have ever seen, but it takes FOREVER to resolve and Xiao Qi even pretends to hesitate up until like the penultimate episode. The plot should've just focused on comedy and the cultural differences between the alien FL & ML, instead we have not only gotten the usual corporate bullshit plot, but it was even presented in a really juvenile way, with the evil stepmom & uncle acting like cartoon villains, then again there are much better Disney cartoon villains out there.. The father character was also just the typical controlling chairman type, fast forward buttoning all his scenes would have certainly improved my viewing pleasure.

The reason why I still ended up rating the drama above 5 is that the comedy in the early episodes was real nice. The alien FL going all handsy after getting high on his hormones was a pretty fun gimmick.

My Lover from the Star and My Amazing Boyfriend 1-2 are hugely better dramas in the same genre, there is no contest whatsoever.

Something to watch at least once..

Watching this requires a lot of patience. Tried once before and failed. When I saw season 2, I've decided to give it another try. It was still very challenging, but this time I've succeeded.

The plot of the story was nothing new, dominant ML, bubbly FL, corporate family drama, lies and deception, love triangle. I think the only thing of substance was with the last two or three episodes.

The love story was ok, not that spectacular but just ok. What I don't like is their kissing scenes. It feels so awkward, like teenagers just learning how to kiss. Well at least they gave us at least a happy ending.

Cute romcom

I wanted something light and easy to watch simultaneously to some heavier darker dramas, so ended up with this. It was entertaining and kind of cute, and fit my criteria.

Brief synopsis from my POV:
An alien girl saves a human CEO who was in a car accident. Whilst saving him, she looses her ability to communicate with her ship and home planet, so she gets stranded on earth. She ends up befriending the CEO’s half brother, and also ends up entangled with the CEO.
He has a secret he is guarding from his family in fear they will use it to kick him out of the company. Even if they butt heads every time they cross paths, there also seem to be some kind of connection between them. Will she be able to help with his secret?

As for the story, it is a bit far fetched, and I mean besides the alien-part of the story. There were some weak parts, and some instances where I did question the continuation and logic. Some of them could be due translations though.

The acting was ok. I found the ML a bit stiff sometimes, but overall he did ok.

Iwill probably watch number 2 as well, but not straight away.
