Unusual Idol Love (2021)

Well thought out script

I almost missed this drama because of some people that wrote negative comments about this drama, but thank goodness I decided to watch it.

Plot/Acting/ Cast
It was well put together, you wont get bored, The FL is not the typical girl that gets bullied and doesn't stand up for herself, I really liked that the writers did not make the usual annoying FL leads that act stupid and its portrayed as cute. The ML my goodness the guy is hot I tell you (hahahaha), one thing that stood out for me was that the FL and ML had crazy chemistry.

Is this drama worth it , yes it is don't hesitate, go for it you won't regret it.

Cute, cute, cute!
Probably the best summary term for this drama though I already long discovered any Rain Lu drama is sweet and simple which I appreciate. Overall, for the story, if you can enjoy the nonsensical plot holes (AI's sweating, AI's eating, etc.) it's a light and fluffy drama.

Without going into too much detail, this drama has all your stereotypical tropes in this sort of drama but what I like is that the obstacles are overcome pretty quickly. What I don't appreciate is that the obstacles come in a never-ending cycle so even though if one issue is resolved, another one pops up right after. There's also a handful of corny but sweet moments in the drama that serves as a good compensation to this cycle of issues.

Acting wise, most of the cast seem to not have a lot of dramas under the belt but Rain Lu and Ao Rui Peng have an undeniable adorable chemistry with one another that was pleasant to watch (as their past drama together didn't seem to light any strong sparks). Both have adorable smiles and are visually compatible with each other and of course the cute height difference plays well.

Characters wise, Jackey's Bai Dong Chen was my favorite though I would say everyone aside from the ex-boyfriend and the ex's new girlfriend were tolerable/likable.

Overall, not something I will rewatch but this was a good break from all the serious dramas I was watching. Will definitely be hoping for another Rain Lu and Ao Rui Peng or even a Rain Lu and Jackey Zhu drama in the future as the actors/actresses all seem compatible with one another.

Would recommend as a good light watch but not for someone looking for an accurate portrayal of an AI bot.
