Non-Spoiler Thoughts:

Woah, and I thought The Double had crazy vibes, but then Kill Me, Love Me came along. But the crazy burned out too quickly, and too soon turned into boring. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Commit to the crazy. The Male Lead was a weird character for me and the Female Lead had the personality of the expired stale brown sugar pop tart I somehow always had in my backpack in middle school.

The 2ML, Bi Wen Jun, is still not a strong actor, and I didn't feel the chemistry between him and Mei Lin, nor between Mei Lin and Murong Jing He in the 11 episodes I watched. Also, I will happily get surgery to get another thumb just so I can give three thumbs down to Huang Ri Ying's romance. WTH (What The Heck) was that.
