An Ice Hockey Romance That Hits All the Right Notes
Review:
"My Unicorn Girl" came galloping into my watchlist as a light-hearted, fun romance with just the right amount of sports and drama. The premise is pretty unique—Sang Tian (played by the energetic Darren Chen) enters the male-dominated world of ice hockey by disguising herself as a man. What made this drama stand out for me was how it managed to balance humor, romance, and personal growth with an inspiring story of a girl defying expectations.
Sang Tian’s character is awesome—she’s not the typical shy, demure female lead. She’s got dreams, she’s determined, and she doesn’t let anything stop her, even when the odds are stacked against her. Every time she faced a challenge, I was like, “You go, girl!” Her journey of self-discovery and fighting for her place on the ice felt empowering, and her chemistry with the male lead, Wen Bing (played by the swoon-worthy Chen Xingxu), was so sweet. The romance was slow-burn and perfectly executed, especially because both characters supported each other’s growth instead of just existing as a plot device for each other.
What I absolutely loved about this drama was how it showcased team spirit and the bonds that form through shared experiences. The ice hockey team had a great sense of camaraderie, and I loved how they supported Sang Tian even though she wasn’t “one of them” in the beginning. The interactions between the teammates, particularly the back-and-forth with the rest of the team, had me chuckling. The friendships in the show were so heartwarming, and it made the romance feel even more grounded.
The only thing I wish for was a bit more depth for some of the side characters. While the main couple was fantastic, the supporting characters felt a bit underdeveloped. I would have loved to see more of the teammates’ stories or a bit more conflict around Sang Tian’s disguise—swoosh, there could have been so much more drama there!
Final Thoughts:
"My Unicorn Girl" is a sweet and empowering series for anyone looking for a blend of sports, romance, and personal growth. It’s the kind of drama that’ll make you smile, punch the air in victory with the characters, and have you rooting for Sang Tian every step of the way. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for a light, feel-good story with a lot of heart.
