Well this certainly gives me incentive to watch Kill Me Love Me more now lol. The drama was on my watch radar but the last two weeks I’ve been traveling for work and just swamped with life so put it on deck for later watch but in the meantime the entire drama aired and wowsers was the reactions probably more entertaining then the actual story. Starring Liu Xue Yi and Wu Jin Yan, both had small hits this year so this drama would have been a great follow up if it was also any sort of hit or at least well reviewed. Alas the drama started off with a bang, quite intense and moody, but then soon the male lead went from antihero to puppy in love and got de-fanged, the female lead had one big illogical logic swap midway through, the second male lead Baron Chen brooded and plotted beautifully but seemed to be acting in how own Shakespearean soliloquy show and also got killed off too early, and the second female lead played by Zhao Xiaotong (former member of The9 along with Yu Shu Xin) was apparently so bad at acting she singlehandedly (or singleexpressionedly) ruined a compelling second loveline plot. But all that pales in comparison to the complete and utter trainwreck narrative plot in the second half of the drama, it was apparently so bad that even many happy loyal viewers from the beginning ended up dropping it or complaining bitterly. Sigh, another wasted opportunity in C-ent, apparently the drama was so different than the novel no wonder it couldn’t pull off a proper plot when so much was changed.
