Alpaca Mania
First, I'm not really a fan, but, I liked both leads. As for Tian Jian Ci, I've seen him in several dramas, but, one character of him stood out for me and that is in Lost you Forever, where he was a Demon God. This is the first time I saw him doing a romcom. Honest opinion, this is not is turf. His charm exudes more when he does serious roles. Not also a fan of his Harry Potter look. He looked better I think in Love Me, Love My Voice. As for Li Landy, I've seen her mostly doing romcoms, may it be a modern or historical era. And yes, most of her dramas I've seen are fantasy dramas. I think, this is her turf.
Storyplot: I'm a fan of Sci-fi and Fantasy dramas. The idea of using a Smart bracelet is interesting. CGI used are awesome. Really did great on that aspect. At the beginning, I honestly didn't like how the FL has been treated by the ML. Bickering might be okay. But liking 2 different women, with 2 different looks seems a red flag for me. It really took time for ML to realize the real person behind those faces. And didn't like the way ML being harsh with his words in terms of FL looks. I know, this was related to their adolescent era in HS that ML didn't like FL due to a misunderstanding which they never discussed till the end as I noticed. This is one of the dramas that I made lots of skips due to the excessive use of the filter that mostly for me are unnecessary. It is super slowburn. MC became official I think around ep.24 if I'm not mistaken. I'm not a fan as well of the 2D or 3D mode of the filter that FL turned into an Alpaca or a mop, even a bronze statue,a painting, or anything that she disguised of. These are too childish for me. In terms of romance, which is the main reason I watched this. For some reason, I find the chemistry bland for the MC. The kisses are fish kisses. I think SC was able to nail more of the spicy feels and good kisses. The proposal and wedding was okay. But, I think it would be better if the SC had that proposal and wedding. They deserve it more given that their bundle of joy is coming.
Overall, if you're so into fantasy and sci-fi, you'll enjoy this drama. It is very light, fluffy. No major antagonist. FL's parents are very supportive. The sister though. Didn't like her personality much, since she bullies FL in the beginning. She's been supportive to FL towards the end, but, I think she's not good in expressing her ways in a kind manner. The SC is more interesting in terms of romance. For ML, he's just okay I think. But, not a guy I would dream of as a partner.
Definitely, this is not a rewatch drama for me. But, maybe, it is for Tian Jian Ci fans.
