霹雳MIT Review

I finished watching 霹雳MIT, it's a 2008 Taiwanese drama.

Ever since I watched Bump Off Lover, I've been dying to find a substitute for it. Bump Off Lover is also a Taiwan drama, I think it aired in 2006 and it was only 14 episodes. I absolutely love it. It is so different from the typical lovey-dovey dramas, it is a suspense/mystery kind of series. Wikipedia considers it a "thriller" but I beg to differ, it's dark and a little scary at times but not exactly a "thriller" nothing in it makes you scream. So anyways. That drama is SO good that I had to find another suspense/mystery drama so since I sort of have a bit of time over this summer, I decided to wikipedia some dramas to watch.

I'm really into the Taiwan entertainment stuff now. So first I started watching Dancing King teach Rainie Yang how to dance on Youtube and it was just an EXCERPT of a show. So I googled what the show is called and it's called 娱乐百分百(100% Entertainment) so then I started watching the variety show and I totally fell in love with 小猪 and 小鬼. They're so cute and funny. No not funny, HILARIOUS. THEY MAKE ME LAUGHHH SO HARD. And one of the episodes I watched guest starred 飛輪海(Fahrenheit) and I started to really like Aaron. I never really paid attention to that band before. I also thought of them as the stupid Taiwan band in which none of the members could sing, dance or act and everyone in Taiwan who is a fan of them is completely blind because none of the members are good looking either. In other words, they were just a band who had NOTHING to offer. I mean, Japanese has a lot of those like pretty boy groups who can't sing or dance but they're good looking and they have personality, but 飛輪海 had nothing! I just always wondered why people liked them so much. So NOW that I have watched a variety show and they can kind of show their personality, I guess they're sort of funny. Sort of. Not really. I still think they can't sing or dance. OH MY GOSH. They performed songs off their newest album and they were all offtune half the time and they weren't even HARMONIZED during the chorus. At the end I don't know where the applause was coming from?! LIKE... WHO'S CLAPPING?! AND WHY?! IT WAS SO BAD!!! The song was good, they just couldn't sing it because when I heard the album version after the music technician cleans up their tones and voices, the song does sound pretty good. When they had their solos, they sounded much better. I think maybe they can sing... they just can't sing together. Honestly, when they sing together it sounds like one of those kindergarden choirs where the teacher tries to put a performance together and the kids are all singing at different times and at different volumes. Geez.

In terms of looks, I guess to me, now they look better and more mature and not so anime-like. I think Calvin and Wuzun are the two guys in the group where I can actually see their face. I only know what half of what Aaron's and Jiro's faces look like because their hair drapes over their head and face. But I can tell they're good looking because if you're ugly, hair isn't going to cover it. How do I know this? Danson Tang. I'm sorry, but that guy is so weird looking to me!!! He has so many fans though! So yeah. Anyways, the guys look decent to me now, not bad. I can NOW see why they have fans. LOL.

So WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ALL THIS?! Point is, I watched 飛輪海 on 娱乐百分百 and Aaron caught my attention so I wikipedia-ed him and I realized that his newest suspense drama is 霹雳MIT so I decided to watch it with VERY high hopes. The short summary that I read really caught my attention so I was literally like, "Okay. I'm going to watch all 16 episodes right now STRAIGHT no sleep!"

So the first episode starts and I was beyond confused. Why? Because they don't give you any sort of background information, you're just thrown into a plot. And it's not like thrown into a crime scene, a very suspenseful sort of plot where you're very attentive "into" everything, trying to figure out what's going on. You're basically just randomly thrown into the plot with nothing, really boring. And you're sort of forced to put pieces together yourself along the way. I can probably tell you that the only reason why people would watch this from beginning to the end is for Aaron Yan and Guigui. Non-fans would probably just go, "Yo. Wtf?! So retarded *turns on another drama*"

So the story starts off with Aaron on campus. I STILL don't know if he plays a university or a high school student. I'm guessing he's a university student just because I think at ONE POINT his friend mentioned that he was 22. So...

But anyways, before I say anything else. Let me tell you what I've learned from the drama:

Mastermind builds a maze. 007 and
Lucifer need to know what numbers
to step on or it will explode.

1. University students do not need to study at all. They can be A+ students and never have to carry a book, nevermind read one.
2. You can access student records from any computer on campus, you do not need administrative passwords or any sort of server database.
3. People dying and getting kidnapped on campus ON A REGULAR BASIS does not make headline news... EVER or make it news-worthy.
4. Through the phone, you can tell if the people on the other end is swimming in deep or shallow water just by listening to the water sounds.
5. On the entire university campus, there’s like 2 professors and a principal, literally.
6. When you hear your name being called in a creepy voice repetitively in the washroom, don’t run out. Just plop yourself on the floor and cover your ears and cry. Oh, and call the hottest guy in the school to come save you.
7. A picture of a skull from clipart posted on the bulletin board in daylight is enough to scare the living shit out of university girls.
8. Anyone hit in the head is automatically knocked unconscious, regardless of power, location, or weapon used.
9. There are no caretakers or police on campus. Evidence or blood or STRAINS OF HAIR will be found at the scene of the crime after several days even if the area hasn’t been blocked off.
10. There is no need to test any of the hair, blood or evidence found at the crime scene. You can just automatically assume it belongs either to the victim or the suspect. It usually belongs to the person who fits the story you've formulated better.
11. You can be running at the same speed behind someone, but the moment they turn a corner, they have the ability to completely disappear even if the area is completely empty.
12. When trying to guess someone’s username or password, just call the genius guy out. He’ll get it right on the first try, there is no need to hire a hacker or perform any sort of hack.
13. When entering into dark rooms, don’t turn on the lights, use a flashlight instead so your chances of getting hit by an object (#8) will increase.
14. University students are allowed to be detained by teachers at midnight for interrogation. This is not considered kidnapping or a violation of rights.
15. People, who are afraid of water and have never learned how to swim, can suddenly jump into the water and swim to save someone in the time of crisis.
16. University buildings are open 24/7 for students to run around and kill each other.
17. Students have enough money to buy bombs, high-tech surveillance cameras, chemicals.
18. Students have enough time on their hands to build complex contraptions and mazes and "games" to torture their hostages/victims.
19. 5 year old kids will come back 15 years later for revenge because they were teased.
20. When people burn documents or evidence to try and hide the truth, they will always walk away before the object is completely in ashes so that the person spying on them and go and put out the fire and rescue what is left of it. Usually what is left of it is the most important bit of the document/evidence. The fire will never burn the most important bits.
21. Video cameras can be installed anywhere and programmed to be watched on any computer at any time with a click of the enter key.
22. You can bid for pizza and cookies on an auction site.
23. More than half the buildings on campus are just empty rooms that look like warehouses. Perfect for hiding hostages and building bombs.
24. Students don’t get fat from eating 5 bowls of noodles at midnight pretty much every night.In the most hopeless situation, just believe in love. It will help you find the right key to unlock the lock on the door.

It explodes because Lucifer is stupid.

So as you can see already. Nothing in the drama is believable and obviously I KNOW movies and dramas aren't supposed to be realistic and all-true-can-totally-happen. However, it has to be BELIEVABLE and I think this aspect is often forgotten in idol dramas. It's almost like they write whatever they want and if there are loopholes in the plot they just ignore it or they choose some really lame excuse to just fill in the gap.

This drama I thought had potential to be really good but it seemed really low budget. I mean, the cast was so small, it was like they couldn't even hire enough people to play as other professors or students. And setting was so repetitive throughout the drama.

Why did I think it has potential? The idea of a serial mastermind at a university has never been really explored in Taiwan dramas. A team of students put together to catch this mastermind is absolutely brilliant I think. And I like how the group of students are "blacklist" students which means that they fail academically and that doesn't really mean much here in North American universities but in Asian countries, they have rankings and so if you're at the bottom of the list, it's well-known, it's not something you can hide.

So what's the problem Steph? Well, nothing seems realistic. I agree that having a serial killer in the school isn't realistic to begin with but it feels possible to me. Like... it's not IMPOSSIBLE to have a serial mastermind at a university. Maybe it would be hard to have one at UT because it's so big and there's no campus feel, but I think Chinese universities have a much smaller campus... well, at least the one in the drama is. I almost thought it was a high school O_o. So I think the idea of this serial killer can totally work and having a group of students to go after them can totally work too... but... you would have to keep it believable. How?

霹雳MIT work all night to crack the case.

For starters. POLICE and FBI or some kind of higher authority need to be involved. We're talking about a serial killer hurting students! This isn't just school matter anymore. Second of all, students on blacklist or not, should study and do homework or at least ATTEND the damn classes. Obviously, I'm not asking for the director to film the characters sitting at desks and doing their homework for 5 minutes. I'm just asking for a BRIEF scene where I can see them attending classes, sort of like a scenes starts with the student walking OUT of a classroom. You know? Or a scene starts with the student being frustrated with homework and slams his textbook shut and walks out of his dorm to whatever they have to do. YOU KNOW?! LIKE SHOWWWW THE AUDIENCE that the student is a STUDENT. Can you believe that in the ENTIRE drama, in all 16 episodes, not ONCE did these students hold a frigging pencil or attend a single class. There was this ONE line in the entire movie where a teacher was like, "Okay. That's it. You head onto class right now." If it weren't for that, I think I would've just assumed that students at that university don't have classes to attend. I mean, the WHOLE 16 episodes, the director didn't waste a second to show the audience that these are STUDENTS and TEACHERS and they're in a school environment.

TIME. I think the time issue throughout the drama really bothered me. It's morning, then night, then afternoon and in one episode they solve ONE case. Too fast. That's like watching 16 CSI episodes in a row. AND WE ALL KNOW HOW RIDICULOUSLY FAKE CSI IS!!! So yeah, they should've at least slowed down the pace of the entire drama, I know they were going for the each episode, new case, new game sort of thing. But... it was just too fast for me I thought. As mentioned above, I really disliked the frequent group meetings at night. I mean, that's so unbelievable... students have to sleep! No?! It's like everyday they meet at the middle of the night to come up with some brilliant plan to counter the mastermind. So basically these students don't study and don't sleep. Their life is pretty much dedicated to finding this mastermind.

Okay, let me start from the beginning now so that you can all understand better.

So the drama focuses on this group of students who are "blacklist" students, which means they fail academically. There is 4 of them and they're led by a teacher named Cherry. So they call her Miss Cherry or Cherry老师. These 4 students all differ in personality and character development. One thing I'm pleased with is the character development throughout the drama and the diversity of the characters. The 4 protagonists:

1. Zhan Shi De; aka. 007 - Aaron Yan

From left to right: 747, 007, Lucifer, 187

He's the genius in the group. His dad is some really famous detective. He is supposed to follow his father's footsteps and also become a brilliant detective but he has some disease... Meniere's disease. Something to do with a disease where your hearing progressively decreases and you get migraines and you faint easily. Funny thing is that Aaron who plays this role is also diagnose with this disease. Crazy eh? He was diagnose a year later after he filmed this drama. Okay so anyways, because this dude has this disease, he's kicked out of this great academy of learning how to become a detective and his father sends him to his university to study. He's the really smart one. Really good looking one. And he's usually the one who solves all the cases.

2. Huang Hui Hong; aka. 747 - Xiao Gui/Huang Hong Sheng/Alien Huang

He's the kind of student one in the group. He's the hero that kind of rushes into everything without thinking and just kinds of ruins the entire plan the group made. He’s really good at running so his leg is called Golden Leg or something like that. LOL. That’s his specialty in the group... running.

3. Qian Fu Hao; aka. 187 – Lu Ting Wei

He’s supposed to be the “playboy” in the group, which means that every girl in the school just falls in love with him the moment they see him and he can make them do anything. I like this concept. LOL. And also has this “network” which is made up of all the girls (I think hot girls) in the school. So if anything happens in the school and he needs to know, for instance, if anyone has seen a guy with a purple baseball cap walking around the campus, he just texts his network of girls and within seconds anyone who has seen a guy with a purple baseball cap would send him a picture text and the location. See? Kind of amazing, don’t you think? I actually really like the actor who plays this part. He is good looking and he totally fits the character. Originally, the part was given to some other dude, who isn’t even good looking. And about a month into filming, he was arrested for sexual harassment... I think that’s what he was arrested for. And so the part was given to Lu Ting Wei instead, which I’m so grateful for.

4. Li Xiao Xing; aka. Tian Mo Xing – Gui Gui

So why doesn’t she have a code name? Well, apparently the codes were given by Miss Cherry to help her remember the numbers on her social insurance card or something like that. And since all the numbers were given out, she doesn’t have any more numbers to given and therefore, her name is Tian Mo Xing which translates to Lucifer. She’s the only girl in this 霹雳MIT group. *rolls eyes* OF COURSE a girl is needed in the group, or else how would the typical love triangle form? So she’s the love interest of 747 and 007. I’m just going to use code names to describe these people because it’s much easier. 187 doesn’t like her even though he’s a womanizer because she’s not hot enough for him. But everyone still cares for her even though she’s completely useless. Oh, well her skill is following her instincts and reading horoscopes and zodiacs and fortune cookies -_________-. What a useful skill. Well, it does sometime serve a useful purpose in the drama and I think... they could’ve really made her into a really plot-breaking character because of her mystic skill but sadly they kept her character really shallow.

So those are the main protagonists.

Le Ke Ying, Miss Cherry, and Teacher Angel

Now for the antagonists:

1. Teacher Angel

Although her name sounds nice, she’s a total bitch. In the drama, she plays the teacher but often times, she acts more like the principal. She just goes around ordering people what to do and she can tell Miss Cherry what to do. So I get this feeling that she’s of higher authority. She looks up to smart students and students who have parents who can help their school expand. She thinks Miss Cherry is stupid and 霹雳MIT is completely useless. I just sort of wished that she didn’t think this way for the ENTIRE frigging drama because it’s so tiring. I mean... when are you going to wake up and see that 霹雳MIT has done so much to save your damn ass.

2. The Principal

I don’t know if he’s really considered an antagonist since he doesn’t really do much. He’s the father of Miss Cherry. See. This is how I see it. If TEACHER ANGEL can boss Miss Cherry around, who’s the PRINCIPAL’S daughter, then obviously she’s of higher authority. He hangs around Teacher Angel more. They have some kind of affair going on that I never really cared about only to find out that their affair plays a big role in driving the plot forward. I only see him as an antagonist because he’s a catalyst to all the killings. I will explain how later. But he’s not bad in the way of interfering with 霹雳MIT nor does he directly CAUSE any of these incidents.

3. Lu Ke Ying

THE BAD GUY. In the beginning, he’s portrayed as this innocent boy who bullied by everyone. He’s the son of Teacher Angel and so obviously she favors him and if he does anything wrong, she’ll protect him. What I don’t understand is how the students have the guts to pick on a TEACHER’S son... that makes no sense. If anything, you should suck up to him and be his best friend! Students are so stupid.

OKAY. SO NOW DOWN TO THE REAL PLOT.

The school has this bad guy, we’ll just call him the Mastermind, who tries to screw up the school and make bad things happen. What do you mean by bad things? So what he does is he tries to find weak students or students who have a immense amount of hate inside of them and he brings out that hate. By doing so, he helps the students find ways of expressing their hate and taking revenge of the horrible things that has happened to them. So there are 16 events that happen, and obviously I’m not going to go through them because some of them are really stupid and LAME.

So Mastermind has a CD that he passes to the person who he wants to play the game with. So let’s say, I’m ranked second place on the school ranking and I know the girl who ranked first cheated to get first place. I have this immense hate towards her. Mastermind knows that I hate her (I don’t know how) and he gives me a CD and he shows me how to play the game so that I can get back at her for cheating. You know? So I might use candle wax to write something scary in the girl’s show stall and time it SO PERFECTLY that the first ranked girl walks, uses the shower stall and when she turns on the tap, instead of water, red water comes out, in which looks like blood, and the scary writing shows up and scares the shit out of her. Make sense? And I follow her everywhere to get her all paranoid. LOL. And I eventually poison her. LOL.

While all this is happening, the 霹雳MIT group tries to help the first ranking girl by finding out who is doing all this stuff to her and WHY. They eventually catch me and I confess to them by saying, “I DIDN’T WANT TO DO ALL THIS! MASTERMIND MADE ME!”

And 霹雳MIT response, “Do you also have CD?”

I nod.

“Where is it?”

“In my room.”

霹雳MIT rushes to my room to find the CD gone. Instead they find a puzzle piece.

Get it?

So all 16 episodes is really just something bad happens, 霹雳MIT tries to find out who Mastermind is targeting. They will catch the person who Mastermind uses to hurt other people. They will find a puzzle piece and never get the actual CD. All the puzzle pieces put together some sort of picture that’s supposed to explain why Mastermind is doing all of this. What is his ultimate goal?

So near the end of the series, I think episode 14, you find that Lucifer is involved in Mastermind’s plans. She is apparently his twin O________o. Of course, we don’t figure all this out to the end, but here’s the full explanation.

Both Lucifer and Lu Ke Ying are separated at birth. Teacher Angel is their mother and her affair with the Principal makes him the biological father of the children. I’m still UNSURE whether or not he is aware of it the entire time or if he finds out the same time the audience finds out, you know? Either way, I don’t think it changes much. So both Lucifer and Lu Ke Ying eventually find out that they are siblings and so they get together to get back at their parents. Actually, I should reword that. They’re not getting back at their parents, they want to see what matters more to their parents, them or the school itself. So they target these “weak” students and basically just cause trouble in the school. Kidnapping, fighting, I think people do get killed too and so all this stuff happens and Teacher Angel has to protect the school’s image and her son. What I don’t get is what exactly are they protecting their school from? The director never adds the public in or the press. There are no press conferences of the principal giving the public some kind of 交代 of what happened. Teacher Angel only mentions other international schools wanting to join with them to expand their school internationally. But that’s about it, as far as I’m aware, the public doesn’t even know what’s happening in the school.

So Lu Ke Ying is the mastermind behind everything. Lucifer helps out but near the end she wants him to give up the game and he refuses. The final scene, Lu Ke Ying kidnaps Teacher Angel, the principal and Lucifer and he ties them all to chairs and puts them at a dinner table. And he goes, “I’m so glad that we can finally sit together and have a full family dinner. Tonight, we will all be truthful to each other because there are no lies in a family.” PFFT. OKAY?! WHAT family fantasy do you live in? Seriously, family members lie to each other ALL the time and usually the lies are made to keep the family together. I guess, since their family is all split up, they have nothing to lose right? So I guess it doesn’t hurt for them to be honest with each other.

So Lu Ke Ying brings them together and he’s like, “So why did you abandon my twin sister?”

And the mom is like, “Because I only had enough milk to feed one of you. You were the weak one, so I kept you and I gave her away to my best friend. I knew she would be taken care of.”

And he’s like, “ARE THESE MORE LIES?! BECAUSE I CAN’T STAND ANYMORE LIES!”

And the mom is like, “That is the truth. If you don’t believe me there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Lu Ke Ying believes her. And somehow 007 is also caught in this dinner table. I don’t know why, he doesn’t exactly fit the family. I don’t think he should’ve been there. That’s such bad directing/script-writing. Maybe they wanted to portray that no matter what, there family can never be a complete whole on its own, there always has to be something/someone in the middle obstructing the circle. However, I feel that the final climax scene should only have the 4 family members because throughout the WHOLE drama, that’s what Lu Ke Ying really wants. He should be granted that final wish. And I think it would be much more symbolic to just have the 4 of them without 007 there. So anyways, with 007 there, he says to Lucifer, “It’s not that she doesn’t love you now. She does. But because she gave you up, she doesn’t acknowledge you as her daughter now as a punishment for herself.” I think that’s a good justification as to why Teacher Angel is so cold to her but I think even if she were to punish herself, she shouldn’t punish her daughter. It would’ve been more believable if some mother-daughter love was shown throughout the film but there is none whatsoever, so I didn’t buy the “to punish herself” excuse.

So after the truth comes out, Lu Ke Ying eats a cherry which has poison in it and he tries to kill himself. He faints and the entire 霹雳MIT crew find them and saves the day. The ending just show Lucifer and 007 together being all lovey dovey and Miss Cherry as the principal of the school. And in the very final scene we hear a voiceover, “You think it’s gameover? The game just started.”

I like the ending but... that only leads me to think of 2 things.

1. We have a new mastermind?

2. Lu Ke Ying was one of the Mastermind’s targets? And the REAL MASTERMIND hasn’t been caught yet?

I’m not sure which one it is. It might be because my Mandarin sucks and I might missed out on some of the details throughout the drama so I might not have understood everything. But overall, I’m pretty sure I caught everything because I didn’t fast forward anything. And if there was a word I didn’t understand, I would pause the drama and like look up the word to be sure.

I didn’t appreciate the 007 and Lucifer love line. They are cute together but Lucifer is just so dunce. I hate dramas where the girl is always like, “OH MY GOSH. I’m so stupid. I can’t do anything. Why do you like me?” *rolls eyes* BECAUSE HE’S STUPID TOO! Like really, WHY do you like her??? WHY?! She can’t do anything! Why do you love her? She ALMOST killed you! She has nothing to offer in the relationship! She just screams and cries. GAWD. SO ANNOYING. She does have her good moments when she’s taking care of him. I can see how much she truly loves him but Lucifer needs to grow up. I like the she acknowledges the fact that she’s stupid, lol. Now the second step would be to TRY to not be stupid. I would probably like Lucifer a lot more if she developed to be a stronger female character. I’m not expecting her to be a genius like him at the end or be able to keep herself completely out of trouble but I do expect her to be stronger and smarter... in some ways. You know? I also didn’t really want her to be involved in the whole Mastermind thing. It is definitely a twist, but a stupid one I thought. I wouldn’t mind if she is one of the people that the Mastermind decides to play with and make her do bad things. In fact, I think that would be a great way to show her growth and development. The drama could have really benefited from that. But to have Lucifer INVOLVED in the Mastermind’s plans to make everyone miserable... that’s ridiculous. And the whole time, she’s dedicated to catching the Mastermind? I don’t quite understand that. And the drama isn’t clear as to WHEN she found out that Lu Ke Ying is Mastermind. Was it from the very beginning at episode 1? Or did she only find out near the end?

The more I discuss about the drama, the more loopholes I see. Okay. Point of that entire upper paragraph is... Lucifer and 007 = no. ORRRRRR Lucifer needs to demonstrate character improvement to PROVE TO THE AUDIENCE that she deserves a guy like 007.

Miss Cherry didn’t really do much in the drama. At one point, Teacher Angel succeeds in disbanding the group and she sends Miss Cherry off to Africa to teach the children there O________o WTF?! YEAH. I KNOW. WTF?!

A lot of random stuff happens. I think what’s really important in a drama series is keeping to the plotline and development. Since dramas give scriptwriters an opportunity to really build on plot, characters and themes, it is easy to drift away from the main points and just add in random events to... I don’t know... liven up the plot. It’s hard to have “everything happens for a reason” theory applied to dramas because it’s so easy to stray from the backbone of the story.

I don’t like how Lu Ke Ying is revealed as the mastermind. They should’ve made it more dramatic and more unpredictable. I mean this ENTIRE drama is about 霹雳MIT hunting for this guy. In episode 15, they pretty much just give away the bad guy without much drumroll and so when the climax came... it is so boring.

The ideas are good. I think if I could remake a drama series, I would remake this one with all my improvements in it. LOL. It would be a much better watch. It would be different but the main concept of a bunch of students catching a mastermind would be there. I think 747 needed a bigger role in the series. Most of the time they just had him hopelessly in love with Lucifer. *rolls eyes*

Miss Cherry needs to be more useful too. Throughout the whole drama she’s just on an auction site buying stuff or she would be arguing with Teacher Angel. COME UP WITH SOME THEORIES. GO RUN WITH THE STUDENTS. Don’t just sit in your office the whole day and let the students run around doing all the investigating.

I don't know why but this picture says a thousand words. Their expressions totally show their
characters in the drama.

Overall out of 10, I would probably give this drama a 6/10. It wasn’t very satisfying. I was looking for something suspenseful and exciting but I got lame and well... more lame. I think the drama has really good ideas and the scriptwriter just didn’t have enough time to build on all those ideas. I know idol dramas are never really realistic, the most impossible thing happens and that’s why we LIKE watching them... because we can see the impossible happen, we can appreciate the fantasy world that’s built by the actors and the directors. However, when the fantasy world is broken by superficial thoughts, ideas and immature concepts... the fantasy world is broken and the audience is just watching a series of events that makes no sense. And we’re all left asking the question WHY?!

WHY does 007 like Lucifer? Why does Lu Ke Ying want to kill himself at the end? Why does the principal not favor his daughter over his love affair? If Lu Ke Ying wanted to know if his mother cared about him or not, why didn’t would he hurt other students if he, too, is looking for love? Why is he involved in other events if he’s the mastermind? Is it to throw off 霹雳MIT members? Why does Lucifer help Lu Ke Ying? Because she wants to know why her mother threw her away. But why stop helping then? Why back off? And the MAIN WHY QUESTION. WHY does Teacher Angel keep all this from her son? I mean, it’s not THAT big of a deal. He’s in UNIVERSITY FOR GOODNESS SAKES! He has the right to know that he has a twin! None of this makes any sense.

So I am very disappointed in this series. There were some really sweet scenes in the drama of 007 and Lucifer. Those are good. I like some of the scenes when 187 uses his network of girls to get information, lol.

This doesn’t compare to Bump Off Lover. Although Bump Off Lover is shorter, it is much more satisfying. This is just another typical, badly scripted idol drama.
