ChDrama to Miss: My Amazing Boyfriend (2016)

Chinese drama  

My Amazing Boyfriend (2016)

Grade: C+
28 episodes, 40-45 minutes each

Tian Jing Zhi is a second female lead actress, vain about her beauty yet perfectly willing to lead a slightly less than luxurious lifestyle. Some of her money goes toward digging wells in Africa so villagers can have clean water to drink. After her latest boyfriend breaks up with her, Jing Zhi is in a terrible car accident, with the driver and passenger in the truck involved dying at the scene – a truck transporting a mysterious dormant body from a local museum. What happens when Jing Zhi shows up unscathed in the hospital with the museum piece missing from the scene of the accident? And what is going on with the mysterious man who followed her home and her heart racing at the sight of him? Will Jing Zhi discover the truth behind her latest boyfriend dumping her?

*While this drama had a great start, with plenty of lighthearted cartoon drawings added to better illustrate a character's mood and decent background music, it kept a dark feel throughout and had a terrible, vague ending. The first couple episodes had so many similarities with the kdrama “My Love From Another Star” I thought it was going to be a total rip off, but eventually this drama did distinguish itself from the kdrama. There was a lot of violence and murder, plus it's hard to get over the scenes where we have to watch the characters drinking the immortal man's blood. (I also hated his haircut and did not find him attractive or charming). The girl's character was kind of annoying, including her voice, and I ESPECIALLY disliked how the actors were often dubbed over, with the new audio not quite syncing up with the movement of the actors' lips. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't watch this again.*
