Stolen Heart
Kill Me Love Me has a dark foreboding look and feel in the first half, with great camera angles and positions. There are beautiful shots and vivid colors for this captivating Chinese drama. The cinematography is through the roof. There is great dance choreography for the Martial Arts. Kill Me Love Me has a highly charged sensual undercurrent to the storyline. Kill Me Love Me is an eye feast.
Strong dramas are built off of two strong leads. Kill Me Love Me has two of the strongest Chinese leads available. Chinese actress Wu Jin Yan was a strong revenge seeker in The Double and plays an assassin in Kill Me Love Me. She does well in period Chinese Costume dramas because of her strong abilities to make her martial arts moves believable. Her haunting nature adds mystic to her characters. Wu Jin Yan gets these alluring dramas of late. Actor Liu Xue Yi is a very fine actor, who has great emotional and character range. He was the most impeccable and captivating villain in another great Chinese Costume drama ‘Destined’. Even playing against Bai Jing Ting, Liu Xue Yi stood out for me. His star quality looks made me secretly adore this bad boy. Liu Xue Yi is the type of actor who springs out of nowhere to make you fall in love with him. His full presence is in every scene he is in. All of his facial features are so perfectly symmetrical. Liu Xue Yi may not be on everyone’s list yet, but he will make most lists of actors whose name you want to remember after you see him in Kill Me Love Me.
Kill Me Love Me was an astonishing and sensual drama that constantly held my attention. The strong storyline, the slow pacing of the dialogue, and the unique visuals gave Kill Me Love Me a wonderful artsy look and feel. The ominous closing scene of episode one, I replayed half a dozen times. The visuals were so stunning. Kill Me Love Me is weirdly, but oddly artistic cinema.
The back ground music is expertly orchestrated, using a full cinematic orchestra instead of a band. This is less usual for Asian dramas. The music gives the drama an American feel. I loved this drama.
