With the anticipation of My Girlfriend is an Alien 2, I decided to watch the first one for the first time. *Trigger Warning* some people like me may be thrown off by how the female lead casually touches the male lead and is played out in a comedic manner. First off, unwanted physical contact is and will never be fluff. Imagine if the roles are reversed and the female lead is touched all over. Setting aside my apparent dislike for our alien with raging hormones, I still think the leads did their job well. Considering they were on screen for most of the time, I never got tired of their banter and did find a silver lining for our couple. Wan Peng as Chai Xiaoqi, and Thassapak Hsu as Fang Leng certainly had the chemistry to carry the drama's weak story.
