When I heard that My Amazing Boyfriend was based off of My Love From A Distant Star, being a huge fan of the South Korean drama, I jumped right into My Amazing Boyfriend. Aside from the fact that the female lead is a bright and cheerful actress and the male lead is a more reserved and immortal/not human being, the two dramas do have significant differences that make them both unique. To start off, I have never seen Kim Tae Hwan in drama land and it turns out that he's actually a model. Wouldn't be too surprised, considering his height and chiseled, nice face. He's become one of my latest heart throbs, but at last, there were a few flaws in his acting I couldn't overlook with him playing Xue Ling Xiao, the monster... Such as his hair, he looks so much better with his hair styled back...the hair just didn't suit him. A bit of a waste of his handsome face to be honest. Since it is his debut in acting, he still has a lot to learn. Many times, I couldn't tell his true emotions and motives, such as if he really loved Tian Jing Zhi in the earlier episodes or if he was just using her. His acting was a bit bland and has a lot of room for improvement. I didn't know if they cast him specifically because he'd be playing a 500-year-old monster who probably has no emotions and doesn't express them very well but that would make sense. But comparing him to Kim Soo Hyun from My Love From A Distant Star, I'd definitely say that Kim Soo Hyun spectacularly pulled off his role better. Wu Qian played Tian Jing Zhi well. She was energetic, cheerful, and funny. My favourite scenes of hers are when she got drunk and actually spoke what her heart really wanted to say. It was pretty touching and cute. There were just a few times I feel like Tian Jing Zhi messed up and I couldn't feel sorry for her...but she did end up developing as a character and maturing and understanding the ways of life near the end. The side story/mystery of this drama was in my opinion, very predictable. (Because who else could the murderer really be??) I wasn't hooked by the mystery, but the cute romance. The execution of the mystery was still enjoyable though because it was the main cause of the cute rescue scenes, and the mystery reveals Xue Ling Xiao's backstory near the end of the drama. Speaking of the ending, though it was a bit rushed and I seriously wish they make a second season! Overall, I did enjoy this drama a lot because I'm a huge sucker for cute romances and it didn't fail to satisfy my needs.
