What a disappointing nonsense

I watched this show because of the high ratings and are now wondering how this mess got such high ratings?
I love rom coms/fantasy comedy genres but I honestly can't tell what this is supposed to be. My rating is strictly based on my opinion of this C drama.
The whole storyline and supposed romance lack even the smallest grain of believablity. Gorgeous, hot, successful CEO and his cute, talented brother both deeply fall in love with a not so attractive, without personality or charm FL who is dumping both guys multiple times during the show. Seriously? Terrible casting for the FL role as her character is childish, ridiculous and stays exactly the same without any character growth or development throughout the whole show. The script writers have created a truly unlikeable messed up, lying, female character who supposedly has superpowers which manifests in one scene as she freeze time and space but in the next scene she is afraid to cross the street. Then with all her strength and superpower, she lets a human tie her up and beat her, etc. Then .. the FL is all over men and is totally and shamelessly turned on,,, and yet.. when it comes to the hugging scenes, she is faking "a deer in a headlight" reaction totally out of what the reaction should be for a romantic encounter. What a terrible performance/acting! The whole thing is ridiculous. The kissing scenes are probably the worst part, they are awful, and fake with the FL open eyes and the close ups make it even worse. The storyline and dialogues are repetitive and boring. The same love you, don't love you, breaking up, making up, now I don't want you, now I do.....on and on and on it goes in a loop. Same exact thing. Even the dialogues are exactly the same in many scenes. Boring and very uncreative. Thank God for fast forwarding.
Music is nice. Wardrobe has some nice pieces but the actors mostly wear the same garments over and over.
It appears that whoever wrote this may never been in a relationship ever and have no idea how to portray a real romantic relationship. Honestly, I consider this drama, (supposed romantic comedy) a huge waste of time and if it wasn't for the talented, hot ML who at least tried to save this mess, I probably wouldn't had the patience to finish this without a total brain freeze. Waste of production budget. And finally, .....we have 21st Century technology and superb special effects technology to portray superpowers in an interesting way, which would have probably saved this production if applied .

The content of the story was really interesting from the usual drama I watch. I like it the idea they add the theme of alien and amnesia in a romance story. Also, the main characters have an incredible chemistry in this story which I really like it . It makes me being into the story as I watch the drama. Furthermore, the background music is so beautiful to listen, especially it's one of the main character that sing it :). He has an incredible voice of singing. His song 爱所当然 I listen over and over again as I feel so relaxed to listen to a gentle voice. I will recommend to people to watch it.

I don't usually watch chinese dramas but after watching this WOW i will start patronizing Cdrama. This is superB. So if you are looking for a drama to watch while we have lots of time during this pandemic please do consider this. You will not regret. I love everything about it. I even can't hold my smile, laugh,tears,heart beat, while watching every episodes. Hoping forward for another team up of the lead actors. This made me believe that even your memory forgets the one you love, your heart will not. Now, i want to experience how get fall inlove despite of my differences and flaws. This is great and highly recommended?

This is an absolutely cute drama. The actors did very well bringing their characters to life. It is a light-hearted fantasy romantic comedy with a female lead full of cute silliness, a child like personality, and emotionally challenged due to the fact that she is an alien. Even so, her character starts to warm up towards the male lead that, under the façade of a cold personality, falls deeply in love with her. The main leads interactions are full of hilarious circumstances and some heart tugging moments. The only criticism about the drama is that their romantic moments were toned down. The male lead was great in creating the right atmosphere but the female lead was too shallow when kissing. Having said that, the leading actors have a good rapport and beautiful moments as they embrace each other. Overall, it is a fun, lighthearted drama to watch. Enjoy it!

Out of some of the Chinese dramas I've watched I think this one really caught my attention. What got me hooked with this drama is first, the plot and the characters.

We all know that the cold hearted, lonely, rich guy ceo role is overly used in many dramas, but in this one, I found it cute. Next is the alien girl. Her character is what really stood out for me the most. She's not shy, demure, emotional, whiny, but the opposite of it all. She's strong, brave, funny, and bold. She doesn't allow anyone to just push her over, which I appreciate.

As for the plot, I like how this drama is very simple. No too many bad people, and that there's not much conflict to make you frustrated. Some parts are corny but just the right amount enough to find it funny instead of being too cringe-worthy. Some scenes made me feel like it was trying to copy a romcom Korean drama but I liked it because dramas in Korea rarely do it anymore (maybe because they felt that it was already overused) and I missed it. Maybe i'm just corny that way. T_T

Second, is that the actors in this drama are all good acting wise. They have good chemistry and are good looking people especially the male lead Bie Thassapak Hsu. He sure is one hot man and i'm sure not even an alien can resist him.

The only downside i guess of this drama would be there might be some plot holes, and that the story might just revolve on one thing. However, overall, the drama is simple, cute, heart-warming and fluffy enough for you to smile and laugh the whole time you're watching this. It might not be as memorable but it is an entertaining watch if you would watch it purely for what it is, and let go of over analyzing the scenes.

I honestly skipped this show for months and months because of the description sounding cheesy and a bit lame. I finally watched the series, and it is now one of my favorites. The parts in the description that turned me off were talking about her turning into a fan girl (she's not like that), and his amnesia sounding so cliche (it was actually very well written).
This is one of the sweetest romance shows I have ever seen. The premise is a bit sci-fi, buy they play it low key for the most part. By that I mean it's not a major plot point throughout most of the show. The OST was okay, not as beautiful as some others I have heard, but still a nice compliment to the show. The acting of the main characters is phenomenal. The only thing is I could have done without the cgi turtle.

Tone wise, this reminded me of Go Go Squid, Lucky's first love, and the Korean I am not a robot. It's a cute, sweet, rom-com that happens to have sci-fi elements to it. Don't be like me and skip this one!

Worth to watch - no doubts

A must watch chinese drama, the story line is very nice although I'm not into sci-fi, this is one of the dramas(whether it's korean or chinese) that I didn't skip any part of an episode. The characters are portrayed well and looks natural.

I love the chemistry between the main characters: Wan Peng(which her looks are similar with Jisoo of Blackpink) and Thassapak Hsu!(he's very talented btw search him up) Behind the scenes are a must to watch as well, they're very fun.

Hoping that season 2 will really be released(if there's really one)

A drama where you can feel zero chemistry between the leads

Rarely do i drop dramas, mainly because of the fact that i hate leaving any projects unfinished.
The drama is supposed to be a romantic fantasy; focusing on a boss's life and his family and past relationships.
It had potential, but up until episode 10, i personally couldn't understand anything.
There is no logic in this drama( I know it's fantasy but at least they should have thought things through)
The leads literally have no chemistry while they already kissed like 2-3 times in the first 10 episodes by accident.
The ML is like a robot. His face has no expressions. He can't even show sadness, anger, love, etc.
The FL is cute and clueless and i wanted to continue because of her mainly, but the story didn't keep up.
There is a cartoonish turtle( which was fine and cute at the same time, but i saw technical errors even in that aspect. For instance, the voice actor is not talking but the turtle's lips are moving and making gestures! so silly tbh. They really need to be considerate even in such absurd details.

Overall, it had potential in my opinion, but the story lacks a lot.

Light hearted show

My first Chinese drama, I'm not a big fan of rom-com shows but I really enjoyed this show. It was a very cute and light-hearted show. There were so many funny moments, where I laughed so hard. Lead actors were so good in their roles, and the chemistry between them so adorable that you can't help but fall in love with them. The lead actress's expressions were so cute and natural and the lead actor was amazing as cold and caring Fang Leng. The storyline was okay but their chemistry made it more beautiful.I must say dubbing artist did a great job even though i never watched a show in my native language but the voices suit them very well. AMAZING!(MX player) It becomes my favorite Chinese drama. I'm happy to see that its second part is coming. Can't wait to see it. Love from India

What I liked about the series:
I wasn't sure if I would like the series because Kag is very picky about TV series. But I've laughed during these episodes. I hope season 2 is just as good.
