Mai Demon (2023)
I have watched enough Kdrama, to know this is not a good one
Sorry (not sorry) to give 1 rating to balance the "raving" reviews people put. Personally i'd put 6 maybe 6.5/10 because I am nice that way :) I am not sure what's so attractive of this series (other than Song Kang's perfect abs and beautiful female lead). Character wise, there are other more appealing characters in other Kdramas. I'm definitely more drawn to "family" orientated series. The side characters are kind of there for comic relief and that's that. Most kdrama I've watched, they have side characters who have deep connections with the main leads, either family, or chosen family/close friends. I am sorry to say, the female lead is kind of boring for me. I like female characters who have more personality (chaotic, funny). Those kind of female characters I found in Business Proposal, Destined With You, Welcome to Samdal ri, The Good Bad Mother, King the Land (this might be my least fav, but there few moments made me LOL), to name a few.
The Fall (2013)
A rip off from Hannibal Lecter
The only difference are Hannibal owned his action, and has more control. And also Hannibal is a cannibal and Paul is a pervert. First season was great, second one, i think it's just dragging too long. Also there is sexism, where male cops look dumb and every dumb male cop objectifying Gillian Anderson's character.....and lesbians. And is that supposed to make people keep interested in the series? For me, it was Jaime Dornan, the Mr. Christian Grey, from fifty shades of Grey, no wonder he got that part, i guess he got the tying the knot done from this series! Lol what else to say. Well there are better crime drama series, like CSI, that's why I am very picky how the series goes, although I did enjoy the first one, and this series should have done as mini series.
Da Mo Yao (2014)
Love triangle in some ancient/historical setting
I watched Bu Bu Jing Xin, which was written by the same author. Honestly, I enjoy this series better, since it has more fluffiness compared to BBjX. It does help that Eddie Peng starred in it, the main reason why I checked it out in the first place. There are some political issues/struggles, but this one has a lot more romance among 3 characters, Xin yue (liu shi shi), Jiu ye ( hu ge) , and wei wu ji (eddie peng) who's a general, and being general he has very strong character, and rather arrogant but nothing wrong with a guy who knows what he wants! Compared to BBJX, this series dealt with all different animals, i guess it might not be too easy to shoot. as any Chinese drama series, there would be heart wrenching moments that you'd feel for the characters. All actors were excellent, they either make you love them or hate them.
