Unsatisfying disappointment!
The costumes, set, and production are well-done in this drama. I the role of the Emperor, the ruthless guard, and the female villain. I believe they were all performed adequately. This had a decent plot; although it was not unusual, it had potential. In this dark plot, not knowing who is bad or good is intriguing and will hold your interest at first.I really wanted to like this because I am a fan of both leads, but I was never satisfied. The plot, although not unusual, still had a certain appeal and draw to me. I started out as I do with all my dramas, with an open mind. When there is a drama where both leads are masterminds at manipulating the narrative, I am automatically a fan and cannot wait to see how they outsmart the villains. So, I was a little disappointed when it did not happen the way I thought it should. It seemed they kept getting outsmarted, and that was a letdown. From the beginning, the first few episodes were a little too much in the psychological thriller aspect.
The acting was not horrible, but it was not great either. The FL (Liu Shi Shi) was somewhat demure in her portrayal of Ping An. I get that the character is emotionally damaged, but she failed to pull me in. I felt she needed some spunk to show her quest for vengeance and the truth. Also, the torture scene, IMO was over the top, and the only thing I felt was for the one doing the torture. I hated him for sure. Actually, during the entire drama, Jiang Xue Ming) who played (Li Jun was the only one that drew a reaction from me. ML, Shawn Dou, who played Yuan Shao Cheng, never showed any reaction or emotions at all. Note that his character is also emotionally damaged. To be honest, that is not unusual for the roles he plays. At this point in his career, he should be showing more growth.
Needless to say, the drama never picked up the pace. I started getting bored and could not wait for the end, just to see how it ended. That was also a letdown.
The drama never provides a pick me up through its tragic storyline. It may start but abruptly goes back to the undercurrent of tragedy.

A Gripping Drama with an Unstoppable Female Lead
Little by little, I got into the world of political strategy dramas, but I rarely came across female leads as sharp and brilliant as Ye Ping An. She’s an amazing character—flawed, haunted by her past, yet incredibly perceptive, with a sense of justice so unshakable that it even put her at odds with the male lead. I loved that no matter how exhausted, hurt, or mentally tormented she was, she never backed down. As a psychologist, she was fearless and absolutely brilliant.This isn’t a romantic drama, that’s for sure, but it gave me even more emotions than most love stories. Liu Shishi already won me over in A Journey to You, but Kill My Sins just proved once again that she’s one of the best. What a great drama! I enjoyed every second of it.

Victory!!!
I Love how the FL and her friends have the bond with each other and deal the issues in a composed manner and the girls prove that they can do anything even without anyone's support. I cried a lot when FL's main 2 friends die but ofc I expected one of them to die but to get justice and to get revenge the two of them die out of 4 and FL is Always ahead of her plans and ofc the enemy is not someone easy . This Drama shows the bond between women, brothers , Friends and Overall it is a good drama with good plot and The actors are good and I liked one song very muchWas this review helpful to you?
Kill my sins (2025): A Twisty Grey-Toned Rollercoaster of Sin and Sass ??
If you’re expecting fluff, look elsewhere—Kill My Sin isn’t here to give you butterflies 🦋. It’s here to kidnap your heart 💔, throw it in a blender 🌀, press “pulse,” and then serve it back to you with a side of what-the-heck-just-happened 🤯.Let’s start with the FL—chef’s kiss 👩🍳💋. She’s absolutely fabulous, every scene she walks into feels like a power move 🔥. Her acting? Damn sexy 😍. Like, how can someone serve that much emotional depth and look that cool while possibly plotting the downfall (or justice—depends on the episode)? I’d let her ruin my life with that stare alone 👀💀.
The ML? Oh, he’s good. Cunning, sharp, mysterious—basically, if chess pieces came to life, he’d be the queen 👑 pretending to be a pawn ♟️ while slowly taking out your whole strategy. He holds his own next to our powerhouse FL, and their chemistry? Not romantic ❤️, but you can feel this whole soulmate-but-make-it-morally-complex thing going on 🔗 that’s even better than the usual kiss-and-make-up trope.
Every episode had me screaming “WHAAAAT?!” 😱 into the void. Just when I thought I knew what was coming—BAM 💥—plot twist. Heart pounding 💓, jaw dropping 🫨, remote flinging kind of stuff. Seriously, I had to pause a few times just to let my brain catch up 🧠💫. No one is purely good or evil here, and that’s what makes it delicious 😈.
Is there romance? Nah ❌💘. But is there destiny and intense unspoken bonds that make you feel like you’re third-wheeling something powerful? Absolutely ✅.
The ending? Satisfying. Justice is served ⚖️, tears were shed 😭, brains were fried 🍳, but in the best way possible.
If you like twisty plots 🔀, grey morals 🌫️, incredible acting 🎭, and want to scream “THEY DID NOT JUST DO THAT” every 15 minutes—Kill My Sin is your next obsession 🔥📺.

An Underrated Gem
Kill My Sins really took me by surprise. It’s honestly such an underrated gem!The focus is on a group of women who come together to uncover the repulsive crimes committed by a group of high-ranking male officials (We're talking SA, human trafficking, etc.) Each of them is a victim in her own way, and they join forces to fight back against the unthinkable. I found their backstories so heartbreaking, and their sisterhood is honestly one of the most touching parts of the whole drama. The way they lean on each other, the way their strength builds together... it really got to me. The actresses did an amazing job, and their chemistry made so many scenes memorable.
The ML was a nice addition. I’ll be honest, I’m not necessarily a big fan of the actor, but this role suited him well. He’s more of a sidekick here, which I liked; sharp, sly, and always supporting the FL from the shadows. There’s barely any romance between them, but the subtle moments? So good. Like when he gently holds her hand or silently holds her after she loses one of her friends; those little things really made my heart flutter.
This isn’t a light, happy story. But it’s worth it. KMS is one of the best female-centered wuxia dramas I’ve seen, and I absolutely loved it!

Perfect
A perfect drama in every aspect. Even though there wasn't much romance, it was still an excellent drama. I enjoyed watching it. Excellent cast, excellent drama plot, excellent music.Liu Shishi, Shawn Duo, Zheng Ye Cheng, and Xuan Lu all do justice to their roles. They are all talented actors.I would love to see this cast together again in a different drama (it would be even better if it was Xianxia). The drama lives up to its title. Kill my Sins: a very deep and meaningful name. This drama is one of the best of 2025.

So intense
Best drama this year.“Kill My Sins” is a 2025 Chinese drama that has garnered attention for its intense and fast-paced narrative. The series follows Ye Ping An, portrayed by Liu Shi Shi, a wandering physician and hypnotist who arrives in Shengdu to investigate an old case. Her unconventional methods and the ensuing murder of an official thrust her into a complex web of intrigue and deception. Opposite her is Yuan Shao Cheng, played by Shawn Dou, an ambitious investigator determined to see her punished. The plot is rich with twists, keeping viewers on the edge
This drama’s rapid pacing requires close attention to every conversation, as missing even a single line can lead to confusion. Some have found the initial episodes particularly dense, with a swift introduction of numerous characters and plotlines. “The first bit was a hair chaotic. There was just so much information right away and what felt like a million characters were introduced.” 
Despite these challenges, the series has been praised for its intricate plot and morally complex characters. This is ann unpredictability of the storyline and the depth of the main characters, describing them as “conniving and neither wholly good nor entirely evil.” 
However, some critiques have been directed at the production quality. Its a good drama for me. Good acting from the cast, the plot is good too… However, the editing skills by the production team is too low, making this drama feel low budgeted for some reason.
Overall, “Kill My Sins” offers a compelling narrative filled with suspense and complex character dynamics. While the fast-paced plot demands attentive viewing, many find the investment rewarding.
This drama deserves a higher rating.

Kill my sins
Excellent, thats all I'll say. Well worth the watch. Characters are brilliant in every way. Love watch the lead and Character actors. They are aad, and have been thrigh a lot, and they are set on revenge. They are mostly good, but in order for revenge you must have some bad. I am enjoying thus far. Excited for what is to come. Grat plots and beautiful characters.Was this review helpful to you?
Too much animal cruelty
I guess Chinese dramas don’t have laws to protect animals which is sad in this modern day and age. It was a good movie but I stopped watching after three occurrences of animal cruelty. One probably broke the horses neck during a staged fall where the horse was never shown again. A dog was panting tied up in the hot sun. Wake up C dramas.Was this review helpful to you?
Un drama impegnativo, con musiche fantastiche
Un drama assolutamente intrigante, dove l'amore per fortuna non ha avuto alcun ruolo, al suo posto si è invece sviluppata l'amicizia fra i due protagonisti principali. Due personaggi con una missione da portare a termine a dispetto delle difficoltà che spesso sono state insormontabili, e ci sono riusciti, ma questo succede solo nei drama.Bella trama con poche sbavature, belle locations e costumi, un pò troppo arizigogolate le pettinature delle dame.
Tutti gli attori hanno ben interpretato i loro ruoli.
Fra i due protagonisti quello che mi è piaciuto di più è stato quello di Yuan Shao Cheng molto ben interpretato da Shawn Dou, più credibile di quello di Ye Ping An che a volte aveva poteri ultraterreni a volte no, una mentalista? una strega? Una vendetta irrealizzabile nella realtà.
Mi è piaciuta molto Chen Jin che ho già apprezzato nel Problema dei 3 corpi, nel ruolo dell'imperatrice. Un portamento regale, un ruolo che è proprio suo.
Il finale è stato quello giusto, assurdo aspettarsi una confessione amorosa, sarebbe stato ridicolo.
Il loro destino era segnato dai loro scopi, e fortuna loro, sono riusciti a portarli a termine.
Tutto è bene ciò che finisce bene.
Mi sono piaciute moltissimo le musiche, soprattutto quelle strumentali. La musica di apertura delle puntate è stratosferica.
Grazie come sempre al team dei sottotitoli, bel lavoro!
