I have watched few Chinese dramas with my mom when I was younger and I have always loved wu xia because I thought it was amazing to watch. When I found Vigilantes in Masks, I didn't expect much. Turns out I was very surprised. I was sucked into the world of corrupt government officials, redeeming justice, and four very interesting characters. Story: Oh wow, the story was amazing. Even though several people had said that in some parts of the drama, it was dragging a bit I didn't notice very much. I love the setting, the characters and mainly the plot. Acting/Cast: EXCELLENT! All the actors & actresses put in everything to characterize their characters well. I loved all four members of Yi Zhi Mei, they each had time to shine. I love how the writers developed each character well and that you just can't hate any of the characters. He Xiao Mei was adorable, he was polite and gentle. Hu Ge was the rash character in the story. He was likeable as well, he was strong but brash, the bull in the Yi Zhi Mei. I think Li Ge Xiao is my favorite character because of his lazy nature and posture, pretending he doesn't care when he really does. He reminded me of Akiyama from Liar Game(the manga) but I loved Li Ge Xiao more because he can fight very well. ^.^ Then there's Yan San Niang. She's probably one of the few female characters I actually like. Not only is she pretty, but she can take care of herself. Unlike those girls who whine and wait to be saved, she can fight herself, thus people nicknaming her "The Divine Swallow Thief." Music: I didn't pay much attention to the music, but nothing striked me as amazing. Rewatch Value: I rarely rewatch dramas, because I just prefer not to. But for 'The Vigilantes in Masks,' I think I will because the story is so well developed and the characters are lovable. I would call this drama a masterpiece but then again there are a few cheesy effects that made me laugh at loud. Still, it's a well executed drama, one of my top 5 favorites. Overall: I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. Even though at first I didn't expect much, I got hooked on the first episode and each episode afterwards gets better and better. I couldn't stop watching, and I can honestly say this is one of the few dramas I actually loved.
