My Body-Snatching Alien Cat Prince

Firstly, I want to make sure everyone knows that: MINT IS HIGHLY TOXIC TO CATS!!!!

Whoever wrote the script has never had a cat in their lives, nor knows anything about cats. Please don't feed mint to any cats, like the FL does to cats in this drama, because she is an idiot.

Also, with the stray cat population in China being at crisis numbers, there is absolutely no excuse for the Chinese TV industry to be advertising human bred cats by featuring them over rescued Chinese domestic short hair cats. These bred cats not only have genetic defects because humans breed them to look a certain way, and often suffer their whole lives from physical illnesses. My rescue cats are 8× more beautiful, sweeter, and smarter than these genetically modified cats that exist for absolutely no reason but to look the way shallow, selfish human beings want them to look. They are not superior in any way, nor are they easier to train.

Anyway, I think you get my point.

1. This drama promotes poisoning your cat through mint consumption.

2. This drama promotes the purchasing of bred cats, when millions of rescue street cats need a home.

And now to the rest of my review:

I don't know why I enjoyed this drama. It had just about everything I hate in a drama:

Saccharinely sweet FL

Every possible Chinese costume drama cliché

Body-snatching alien trope (so overdone).

Every episode or two, they are catching a bad guy, just like in Pokémon, really. I hate that.

The FL is supposed to be an ancient chinese vet of some sort, but, as I stated earlier, she is "curing" cats by feeding them mint, which is toxic!!

There is every reason to hate this drama, but somehow, I didn't hate it. Somehow, I kind of liked the FL, despite her being Saccharinely sweet. At least she wasn't wooden like Angela Baby or Gulnazar (I can't even tell the difference between these two actresses, as they not only look the same, but also neither can actually act. This FL should have been painfully annoying, but somehow, she wasn't. The antics of the ML were fun, even whilst he kept a stoney stoic face. The SML was the most likeable character, as he was not only easy on the eyes, but was also written as a genuinely nice person, which made it hard to choose between ML and SML.

Technically, this should have been another unwatchable and annoying drama, but somehow, there is an undeniable charm to this series that I can't deny.
