Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me 3 (2018)

[Note: I watched this series without watching Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me 1 & 2. So my review is based on this third series as its own show.]

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama! It is a fluffy comedy, has a beautiful romance at the center, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The Demon Master follows leads An Chu Xia and Han Qi Lu through college as they attend classes, make new friends, and have to make decisions about their future. Despite the drama description, amnesia is not the focal point- it is just one of many things to happen to our leads.

The story can be a little ridiculous, full of cliches and things that would just never happen, but if you can suspend your disbelief you will definitely enjoy the ride. I thought the show used enough humor and heart that even major cliches were fun to watch. Like a lot of longer dramas, the final quarter of the show is not as strong as the beginning, so I did feel that some later episodes were filler or just dragged, but because each episode is only 20 minutes long you can easily power through to the end.

Plus, the story moves incredibly fast- most plots were usually wrapped up in an episode or two. I really liked this because problems or miscommunications between the leads were never dragged out to the point of annoyance, and their undeterred love was the true backbone of the show. Friendship was also a major theme and the warm friendships that formed between the main characters was wonderful to watch. Also, love triangles that turn into actual friends for the leads? I'm here for it!

The cast all do well in their roles. Jia Sheng Yu and Yu Vicky (ML & FL) have good chemistry and are super cute together.
I generally like re-watching shows, and I can see myself re-watching The Demon Master when I need a quick pick-me-up in between more serious dramas.

[TL;DR]
This show is a cute rom-com. Even though the plot requires some suspension of disbelief, the cast is adorable, and the romance and friendships that grow over time will keep you rooting for all of the main characters. It is a fun and fast watch, give it a try!

This was a good show but if you've watched the prequels understand this is completely different cast, personality, and storyline. You honestly won't need to watch the prequel to watch this one. I loved the male lead and his mother. The female lead was kind of annoying and completely different from the original cast. I had to keep reminding myself this is a different show. The romance chemistry was there, the typical cliche plot lines, and of course, they married on the VERY LAST EPISODE AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE I hate when they do that! Overall good show just don't go into it expecting it to be like Master Devil Do not kiss me think more Meteor Garden. If you're a fan of Meteor Garden then you should watch this.
