Chinese Sports dramas are all the rage and have been so for quite a while which is pretty good! The stories are a bit like diet food, bland and in dire need of seasoning as well as serious acting chops but they’re silly enough to be worldly entertaining, with good visual leads and passable annoying supporting characters. It is exceedingly fortunate that those interferences are incautiously half-witted not trying hard enough to provoke the audience into a bathroom sprint to purge all the unnecessary regressive idiotic mental delusions that have been fed to their cerebrums.
My Unicorn Girl is just another cross-dressing drama, bye bye hello Bromance, one set at the ice-rink of a university, hiya Skate into Love, except that:
Yeah, the concept of a girl cross-dressing as a boy has been repeatedly revamped in the contemporary online to online society alluding to an idealized fictionalized version of offline to offline life that is as farfetched as it is tangible and authentic, at least at some point. Imaginaries can be pink and cute inside in a white and blue ice-hockey outfit to fulfil a dream, unbeknownst the later awareness that reality can and might surpass any giggling dumdeedum da-dumdeedum butterfly fantasies.
Pi Ya Nuo and Du Zi Feng – by no way connected to Si Feng in Love & Redemption – fall for one another. Sang Tian and Wen Bing do the same. Tang Xue and Li Yu Bing, it was complicated. Ironically it shouldn’t be considering human evolution. Bromance dates from 2015, Skate into Love, 2020 and My Unicorn Girl also 2020 but is the dìdi of the three. Growth ought to be a progression, not a regression, that’s within the sphere of mathematical science.
Sang Tian is a Pi Ya Nuo younger version. A mascarade of a girl cosplaying into a boy who falls head over trainers in love with an actual one, Wen Bing. Handsome, smart, perfect men are an ubiquity to utopianism, a mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the egotistical of them all as if that mattered at all in an absurd monarchically follower created binarism to depreciate differences whilst exhibiting them. Wen Bing, is as graceful as an unpolished brick surface with inner sophistication and taste with his general prosopagnosia and specific Sang Tian face recognition. This is beautifully sweet as love, love is its own recognition even when in hiding.
Parallels that are like candy crush in their break the mould similarities when in the end it all comes down to execution, technique, persistence and the ability to keep fighting the odds to succeed, with blantant disregard for tv ratings in a very fortunate manner; a test of time in a demure summon for gender equality and treatment... risking the ire of si jie mentors.
My Unicorn Girl doesn’t have the flair of media buzz protruding from every social media cell on face of the dramaland's earth like Skate into Love did, neither a centimetre of the buzz, which says a lot both in a yin and yang emphatic vintage dualism. Skate into Love at one end of the spectrum, Bromance and My Unicorn Girl at the other end, the underdogs.
How trilling! No, there’s nothing remotely trilling or new about Unicorn Girl, unless it actually contained a unicorn rather than being the name of the team and a symbol of love and unity. Everything else exists already including good actors, rephrasing good performers, not necessarily young idols who play poker faces at acting.
Darren Chen expanded his entertainment drama presences that Meteor Garden’s popularity trampolined him into. He might have portrayed a stoic unflappable character whom Wen Bing mirrors to the bone in a profusion of ways including, income, social status and mannerisms that they might as well be carbon copies of one another in different societal settings. Even the zigzagged confusion between the appalling way of visually expressing his feelings and the extreme effort to make them stand out were a hit. What was amiss in My Unicorn Girl was the nonexistent second male lead attitude in a male lead role. People have flaws. Characters have flaws. Everyone has flaws.
Sebrina Chen on the other hand despite not having Darren’s female equivalent status quo in the industry nor the imperial visibility to stand out yet brought vibes of Megan Lai's acting including in her onscreen chemistry with Baron Chen, here, rather, Sebrina with Darren, which works marvelously like two witty peas in a lotus pod. It’s so interesting and jovial to watch their banter episode in, episode out that at the end of the series, the only regret is that is over. Bromance transmutted into true love. The end.
Overall rating: 10 out of 10.
