=> Beautiful, tough, sad, ... and beautifully interpreted ｡ﾟ(*´□`)ﾟ｡
PLOT: To avenge the death of her family (and the 10,000 inhabitants of her town), the FL has been trained for 10 years (killing + martial arts) in the Shadow Army. She get part of the 100 beauties sent by the neighboring country, Xiyan, to kill the 3rd Prince (the ML). She lives with him, they share adventures, fight against the plots of the Crown Prince, etc. The Prince of Xiyan (whom she helped when he fled, the ML2) love her, and takes advantage of the circumstances (coup,FL's poisoning) to make her his Crown Princess.+++ A magic CL (Liu Xue Yi & Wu Jin Yan) and lots of excellent actors (Bi Wen Jun, Baron Chen, ...)
+++ Effective production, with sets, costumes, fight scenes, lights, OST, ... at the TOP.
+++ Quite dark story, very catchy during the first 20 episodes BUT### Last 10 boring episodes, with inconsistencies and unjustifiable offbeat behavior
### Part about Xiyan unrealistic, incongruous. I know that there have been mad kings in history, but this is delirium.
The last 2 episodes are moving, magnificent (and sad) and demonstrate the immense talent of Liu Xue Yi (I'm waiting for his next series :). It was magnificent, and I'm glad I watched it, but I'll not rewatch it, it was to sad !
************************************************************
PLOT: Pour venger la mort de sa famille (et des 10000 habitants de sa ville), la FL est entrainée depuis 10 ans (tuer +arts martiaux) dans 1 armée fantôme. Elle s'insère dans les 100 beautés envoyées par le pays voisin, Xiyan , pour tuer le 3e Prince (le ML). Elle habite chez lui, ils partagent des aventures, luttent contre les complots du Prince Héritier, etc. Le Prince de Xiyan (qu'elle a aidé ds sa fuite, le ML2) est amoureux, et profite des circonstances (coup d'état, empoisonnement de la FL) pr en faire sa Princesse Héritière.
+++ Un CL d'enfer (Liu Xue Yi & Wu Jin Yan) et bcp d'excellents acteurs (Bi Wen Jun, Baron Chen, ...)
+++ Réalis° efficace, avec décors, costumes, scènes de fight, lumières, OST, au TOP.
+++ Story assez sombre, très accrocheuse pendant les 20 premiers épisodes ### 10 derniers épisodes boring, avec incohérences et comportements décalés injustifiables
### Partie sur Xiyan irréaliste, incongrue. Je sais que des rois fous, il y en a eu dans l'histoire, mais là, ça touche le délire.
MAIS les 2 derniers épisodes sont émouvants, magnifiques (et tristes) et démontrent l'immense talent de Liu Xue Yi (j'attends ses prochaines séries :).
=> Beau, dur, triste, ... et magnifiquement interprété ｡ﾟ(*´□`)ﾟ｡

I loveeeee
The Male Lead is just an embodiment of acting! The FL is also an amazing actor! I love the movie so much and I can’t get over it! It started very well and though I didn’t expect the end to turn out the way it did, I still enjoyed it and consoled myself that it is just a movie and the actors are doing well well afterwards.The chemistry between ML and FL? Perfect! They truly gave it their all and I really love it for them. They deserve all the love and support they could get in this movie and I hope it takes them places and heights they never imagined they would reach in their careers. Well done guys🥰🥰🥰

Never Take Life for Granted!
I had to watch this Chinese drama Kill Me Love Me three times in a row—something I’ve never done before. That’s how much I loved it! I didn’t want to miss a single moment of this incredible show. While I usually enjoy the fantasy elements in dramas (which are some of my favorite aspects), this time, the compelling story and stellar performances kept me completely hooked.Lei Xue Yi, whom I admired in earlier works like Love and Redemption and Ancient Love Poetry, truly shone in this drama. His portrayal was so captivating that it felt like I was living and breathing the story alongside him. Watching Kill Me Love Me has inspired me to go back and explore more of his previous works—how did I miss them before? He’s such an excellent actor, and his performance here was no exception.
Actress Wu Jin Yan was equally outstanding in her lead role. I admired the strength and fierceness she brought to her character, proving once again that women can take on powerful roles and do so with grace and authenticity. Her dedication and ability to make her performance so believable were truly inspiring. Having seen a few of her previous works, I’m now eager to watch more. She continues to impress me with her talent and screen presence.
The production was equally commendable. The set design was stunning, the martial arts choreography was breathtaking, and the costumes and animation were flawless. One detail that stood out was how the actors altered their voices to sound sinister. By lowering their octaves, they added an eerie and evil dimension to their characters that was incredibly effective.
Kudos to the writers for crafting such a compelling story and to the casting team for assembling such a talented ensemble. The supporting cast also deserves praise for bringing depth and realism to the drama's world.
Kill Me Love Me left me thoroughly satisfied. It’s a masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of everyone involved. If you haven’t watched it yet, you’re in for a treat!

Broke me in a good way
I absolutely loved this drama contrary to many others who seem to have been quite disappointed.Sure if you expect a steaming hot romance show, as the trailer and the first episode indicate, you won‘t be satisfied. But after all it is a C-Drama… if you expect to watch something similar to the Borgias, you for sure will be disappointed.
The second reason why many did not like the show was that the ending was changed compared to the original novel. Since I am a sucker for sad endings, I truthfully enjoyed every heartwrenching minute of it! But yeah if you are hoping for a happy end you will get disappointed again.
I loved the chemistry not just between the leads but also between the other actors. Liu Xueyi is for me on an other level of acting and so is Wu Jinyan! I loved Liu Xueyi already in Blood of Youth and fell hard for his portrayal of Murong Jinghe. The scene of them lying on the bed both crying will hunt me to my death it was so beautiful, sad and full of feelings!
To sum up my rant: I love it! I loved the pacing, I was okay with Murong Jinghe‘s 180 degree character change (because it made sense) and I also found it understandable why the General fell for the Crown Prince (and don‘t get me started on the execution scene… beautiful!). It is a beautiful drama for people who love a good tragic story, who want to cry and feel as if their heart has been crushed and put together again.

Must watch
One of the best historical romance Cdrama I've watched,it has all the right elements, and unlike most cdramas where things get dull and boring at a certain point,it doesn't in this one,and I'm so excited to read the novel,because apparently murong jing he is messed up and way more ruthless at the start and doesn't show his gentle side straight away like it happened in the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Somewhat good
Even tho the production value of Kill Me Love Me it’s really good, I simply can’t seem to connect with the story or sympathize enough with the characters to keep watching. There’s something about the directing and the performances that I don’t like but I can’t put my finger on it. Not to mention the script it's all over the place, with the most of the characters making decisions that don't make sense, even when they explain the long game and what they are after.C’est la vie!

Liu Xue Yi
Liu Xue Yi is a handsome man, I watch his drama and mesmerize by his good look, it's too bad his Female Leads weren't as compatible as him - not only in appearance but most importantly in skills. I dropped 'In Blossom' because his co-star Ju Jing Yi ruined the drama. Her pretty face didn't make a cut.This time his co-star is Wu Jin Yan played as Mei Lin - a blank face actress, can't really read her emotion in any given situation. It's her frozen face, can't ignore it. Her eyes empty, doesn't communicate her trauma or hatred or sad or pain to her character has experienced it. 1st to 3rd episodes I enjoyed to watch Liu Xue Yi which wasn't only a great vision, but his snarling/pouting /glowering/glaring/frowning is appalling. His beautiful face makes more sinister to the contorting situation - his barely smile brings out menacing character and unknown to anyone his secret of morbid plan of avenges. That's what I see him in this drama, value of his skill to the character. Liu Xue Yi is a promising actor if he can find a female lead that can bring out his personality in collaboration of future project.
Prince Murong Jing He (Liu Xue Yi) of the Great Yan Dynasty led his Weibei Army to reclaim Qingzhou, a lost territory. Became infamously 'Butchered General' from accusation of burning down a town and killed it's citizen. A misunderstood General that hold hatred to take on revenge to family who wrong him. Mei Lin's (Wu Jin Yan) family burned to death by, as she believed, Weibei Army which under Prince Murong Jing He's leadership. She dedicated herself to take on revenge to the man who responsible with horrendous act, Murong Jing He. Disguised as one of a hundred Xiyan beauties sent to the Great Yan as part of a political marriage alliance, she patiently waits for her chance to strike. But what Mei Lin doesn't know is that the man who masterminded her entire assassination mission—setting her on this path of revenge—is none other than Murong Jing He himself. That's the plot.
With the basic synopsis I wouldn't imagine the character Prince Murong Jing He; he's taking his time in finding the culprit, he takes on the blames, he receives scold, hateful profanity and scorn, thrown-rotten egg/vegetables from public humiliation, he bare it all with sinister sneers. His deep sarcastic voice (I heard it's his real voice) play important part for his edgy character, irony situation with his statuesque and stunning face.
I hate to drop this drama just because of FL...still many episodes to watch though.

What happens when two crazy people interact?
They create toxic fireworks that burns through the screen. Two crazy people who are ready to die at any time to accomplish their goals... (one openly crazy, the other silently crazy😂)*This is a preliminary review based on three episodes out so far*
So far, this is a well written and well acted show based on a general known far and wide as a mass murderer. The show starts with the FL dad being burned to death. (alive). We find out that the general (ML) army set the fire to their town. The FL swore revenge on the ML and went through a decade of training as an assassin just to kill ML.
Big plot twist: It was the ML all along who was training her to kill him... (she doesn't know). The ML also wants to use her to investigate the past. Anyway, that's the premise of the show. And the story is built off that. The ML in this show is crazy... But the FL is also crazier... (he poisoned her, she stabbed him. Etc... you get the gist of it)...
Anyways, the thing that's drawing every one in is the way the story is told. LXY & WJN are doing a good job of portraying these characters. You will totally believe they are who they say they are. They live and breath these characters and we see them in action all the time. whether it's through emotions (eye movements, facial movements, mechanical laugh, etc) they make make these characters intriguing. It also helps that their chemistry is very good and works well together!!
The story is intriguing. Each smaller plot that's revealed makes you want to know more. I'm intrigued by all the smaller plots that will eventually intertwine with the main plot.
So far so good, I really love their toxic chemistry.😂💀 They are giving everything I want in an enemies to lovers. THIS RIGHT HERE, IS THE REAL ENEMIES TO LOVERS. This is how it should be done. Not a damsel in distress who get hurt by ML repeatedly and ends up "falling in love" 🙄

O roteiro é interessante, os personagens foram bem escritos e, principalmente, graças ao elenco, é possível sentir a emoção de cada um deles ao longo do drama. A história não é apenas um romance, mas as muitas personagens que se entrelaçam durante a difícil jornada do príncipe Murong Jing He para buscar justiça ao seu exército falsamente acusado de cometer um crime hediondo contra a população e sua determinação de reconstruir a cidade onde tudo começou. Os diretores conduziram esse drama de uma forma interessante, pois no capítulo 24 o 'vilão' está liquidado. Quando o drama aparenta cair numa fase sossegada, inicia-se a luta contra outro 'vilão' e, além dos 'vilões' que podem ser combatidos, há algo inexorável que foge a capacidade dos personagens, levando o drama até o último momento com grandes expectativas. A finalização foi singela, mas adequada ao roteiro e capaz de arrancar algumas lágrimas.
Os protagonistas (Liu Xue Yi e Wu Jin Yan), entregam cenas bem acabadas e bastante convincentes e, as cenas deles com os atores de suporte são primorosas. Baron Chen deu vida ao personagem com maestria, os olhares invejosos que são lançados pelo personagem e a cara de hipocrisia para se fazer de bom, são impagáveis.
O figurino é primoroso e a trilha sonora agradável.

Piękna i wzruszająca historia miłosna
Ehh... ostatanie odcinki tak bardzo działały na moje emocje, że myślałam iż będę płakać jak bóbr. Udało mi sie jednak powstrzymać potok łez, jednak pojedyncza łza spłynela. Po raz pierwszy kiedy zmarła Zi Gu, po raz drugi - tutaj nikogo nie zaskoczę - kiedy odeszła Mei Lin. Ta historia jest naprawdę bardzo wciągająca, uczucia jakimi darzą się główni bohaterowie to jest naprawdę mega skomplikowana, zawiła i tragiczna opowieść. Nasz kochany książę z początkowo oczywiście jak to zwykle bywa, nie wie czego chce i co czuję. Dopiero jak sobie to uzmysławia, to wtedy już się robi problem, bo otruł naszą kochaną Mei Lin i nagle znajduje się w patowej sytuacji, bo żeby ją odtruć potrzebuję bardzo rzadkiego zioła, które udaje mu się zdobyć, lecz jak potem się dowiadujemy w historii niestety traci to zioło. NIe będę oczywiście wypisywać w jakich sytuacjach, bo od tego jest drama żeby obejrzeć tą historię, ale sam fakt że po prostu podejmują bohaterowie złe decyzje których potem bardzo żałują trochę irytuje. Ogólnie i tak uważam, że historia nie była nudna. Nie miałam takich epizodów, że chciałam na przykład przewinąć czy po prostu wyrzucić komputer przez okno, więc uważam że naprawdę bardzo dobra jest ta drama. Właściwie to jedyny minus jaki widzę w tej historii to wtedy kiedy Mei Lin zamiast być z Generałem ona się przed nim ukrywa, jak dla mnie mega stracony czas dla ich obojga skoro ona dobrze wiedziała że i tak za niedługo umrze. No i musimy zwrócić uwagę też na to, że w większości dram znajduje się taka sytuacja, gdzie główny bohater żeby chronić swoją ukochaną to ją odsyła gdzieś i potem oczywiście okazuje się to błędną decyzją. Był w ciężkiej sytuacji, więc można mu wybaczyć ^^ Także dramę muszę Ocenić Ogólnie na 9,5/10 . Bardzo chciałabym dać 10 /10, ale niestety powstrzymuje mnie ten epizod o którym wyżej wspomniałam. Ogólnie dla fanów historii romantycznych osadzonych w takim przedziale czasowym za panowania cesarzy, królów itd to szczerze bardzo polecam, cała historia mega wciąga - ja obejrzałam ten serial w 3 dni. Trzeba dodać, że jestem osobą pracującą więc mimo wszystko te 32 odcinki byłam w stanie pochłonąć w trzy dni, poświęcając lekko swój sen, ale mysle ze warto.Was this review helpful to you?
