Bad moral in this show
Probably also due to bad subs, but the storyline was hard to follow. Some plot holes and weird unfinished introductions to characters and situations. Also, even though the original Xuan Mo gives up her life for the alien willingly, it's ridiculous that she is not allowed to return and that the message being sent is that frail, bullied girls are quickly forgotten and that the strong, invincible replacement is loved by everyone. What a horrible message to send out into the world, that your brother and crush only love a better version of you, and that classmates only like and appreciate a stronger and better version of you. I had imagined that in the show, Abu Dory would get the ML and brother to warm up to the FL, then leave for her mission and let the original Xuan Mo return, with some of the strength left so she can live a better life without being bullied, and with the love of her crush and her brother, but no, the creators thought it best to kill off the frail, unloved girl and replace her forever by an alien who's naturally perfect in EVERYTHING... Even though it was nice to see the alien starting to appreciate human emotions, it's still not a good message to teenage girls who are frail and feel dispensable, to never let the original Xuan Mo return.
Lu Yu Chen was the best character in the show. Most handsome, funny (although a bit too much sometimes), tough guy, getting more mature and learning from his mistakes. The plot holes though... why did he go to a different school and then got transferred to Xuan Mo's school, what use was the guitar playing for the plot, and his best friend could have been left out too. It wasn't the worst show I've seen, but also not very good and not worth rewatching. And the horrible idea it implies, that you are not worthy of living your life unless you are strong and can stand up for yourself...
