This version made sure to show the male lead falling for the female lead all the way through the drama.
In Kiss Me they really mainly only showed his feelings at the end and hinted at it throughout. In Kiss me the male lead was leading on the other two love interests and you did not know how he really felt about them. In this version, you knew mostly how he felt about the other two females. He was not very indecisive in this one. I wanted to shake the male lead in Kiss Me because of his stubbornness and indecisiveness about his feelings.
This version had some characters and actions that made me laugh aloud which was much better than Kiss Me that was very angsty, sad and heartbreaking. That version gave me anxiety and made me very unsatisfied at the end. The female lead in Kiss Me was a push over and too weak . She let the male lead walk all over her. The male lead was too cold and never showed much warmth or liking to the female lead until the end. Who wants to wait for the end to see that? Anyway I recommend this version. It has laughs, good storyline, the bullying is moderate and the two leads are a delight. No good kissing scenes but I guess we can't have everything. It was just quick lips touching or a blocking of the kiss with a quick zoom out. It was VERY disappointing.

Not that bad...not that good!!
The story of the drama is good at 1st .. the 1st ep was little bit boring in the starting time. After that it would more interesting episodes by episodes. But... at the middle of the season it was sometimes so boring that i skipped many dialogues among them. Over all it was a cute, quite simple and light drama to watch. Don’t expect too much, then u have to disappointed.For those who are looking for a good plot, or a good story with strong and fresh dialogue, please don’t watch this. U’ll be dissapointed .
And for those who likes more cliches like jealousy, tragedies, sadness, love triangle etc they can definable go to watch this.
Not a very good, but good story with light cute school romance. Quite funny and the main attraction was the actors who played Qi lu and An Chu Xia.

This is for you if you like bullying and dry plot lines
No idea why this is tagged romance but you will enjoy it if you like bulling, dragged out story lines, strong fl who does not lean on her friends or mother, no romance between leads, funny mother in law who just wants the kids to get along, desperate, jealous girls who run after men who are clearly not interested in them, four love interests for the fl, best friend who is overlooked…. gosh I hope I didn’t forget anything. Not to say it is a bad show, I’m just into feel good shows with loving friendships sprinkled in. Even the occasional toxic relationship with character development is okay.Was this review helpful to you?

♢Unrealistic♢ light-hearted drama.
"Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me" is a light-hearted drama, more on the school life genre. The real romance starts to develop at the very last episodes. I would say it has an an average plot, but sometimes a little bit unrealistic with a lot of clichés.After the first episode, which to me was a train wreck, there's a lot of filler episodes, the story ends with a cliff hanger and frankly speaking... The dubbing is not the best. Nonetheless it's a good short drama to binge watch if you're looking for something on the lighter side. Since the episodes are quite short you can easily watch it in two/three days.

This drama got my attention primarily because of the title. To be honest, the story is kinda not realistic. But apparently it's a good one to watch. Especially if you are looking for a light drama. The main male lead is charming but annoying. The main female lead on the other hand, fortunately is a strong girl. Kinda dissapointed with the ending, I thought they would put up the scene where they achieve their goals in the future. But it's okay. It's happy anyway.Been marathoning this drama, so this one is a good choice.

The first episode was cringy af, but turns out to be really better aìright after the second one.
I laughed so much in many scenes, the main leads were still cringe but it was on purpose so the many nonsense scenes are a top hit in this show. The pads scenes killed me with laughs, it was so embarrassing but relatable at the same time.
Absolutely far from the classic c-dramas, so that's why you should give this drama a really good option to being watched!!!!

I don't recommend wasting your time on this show...
Overall: I didn't like this show. It's very typical without any creative elements, the characters are not well written, the dialogue is awkward, the story isn't clear and the show is farfetched. I watched the show because people said it was similar to "The Big Boss" (a C-drama that I enjoyed), however, it really isn't that similar. Out of the few shows I watched, this was my least favourite. It's a poorly done enemies to lover drama. The atmosphere of the show feels very off, sometimes I felt unsettled and uncomfortable. The settings are alright, nothing special but I couldn't help but feel the school should have looked a lot different. Despite having luxurious, large exteriors, we only get to see three or four rooms that are constantly being reused. I genuinely couldn't finish watching the show.Specifics:
Story:
The story doesn't really make sense/is not very realistic. I understand dramas do not have to be realistic but at this point, the drama is just unwatchable. The ML's mother acts very strangely and I can't imagine anybody acting that way. The FL isn't very likeable which is usually a make or break for me. The ML starts showing that he likes FL a little too early on and without proper reason (no room for character development). Plot-wise, it's basically a jerk popular kid who bullies the poor kid until they magically fall in love. The ML has no reason to be as omnipotent as the show makes him out to, they treat him like a god for no purpose. I mainly dislike how the characters "develop". The characters don't really develop, they don't become better or worse personality-wise, however, they will do things very out of character. You cannot exactly pinpoint what kind of character the leads are because they go against what we were led to believe at the beginning of the show. The FL is naive and she ruins other people's lives instead of doing what she thinks is fixing which might be irritating for you (it was irritating for me). There is also an aspect of the show that is easy to forget and seems completely irrelevant to the plot thus far (almost halfway through the show); they kind of just randomly add in how the ML is allergic to kissing women or something like that (not well developed or explained so I'm not sure) at the beginning of the first episode. The story also takes place in a military school but the students really don't do anything related to that, it was only an important part of the leads meeting but then after the leads meet, that plotpoint was somewhat forgotten. The story, plot and characters are poorly paced.
Acting/Cast:
They're okay. There is no connection between any of the characters at all. What's worse is that they wait too long between dialogue before responding which makes it hard to watch and awkward. The leads seem to feel indifferent to each other. I didn't feel any hate, love, friendship, rivalry... nothing! I think this is a mic problem but I could hear them breathing very loudly-especially the ML at certain scenes. That made me very uncomfortable and irritated.
Music:
Not great...I can't say much about it because I didn't hear that much but from what I did hear, it's not very enjoyable.
Rewatch value:
It's so stereotypical I see no reason for you to rewatch it. The show doesn't really include any clever foreshadows or easter eggs that would make the rewatching experience satisfying.
TLDR/summary:
- Bland
- Boring
- Unrealistic
- Characters are poorly developed
- Hard to watch
- Awkward
- Characters show no chemistry
- Poorly paced
- Inconsistent plot/settings
- Poor atmosphere

Inconsistent mess
The show starts of in a cheesy and somewhat rushed way, but at first that felt almost refreshing. The point of the show is the two leads, their relationship and the school life, and the show delivers the viewer there admirably quickyl.But once the schol life starts, the hughe problem of this show comds in jn full force. There is just no consistency or logic in the characters and a lot of the plot.
One scene the FL stands up to bullying, 5 minutes later she lets someone bully her without opposition.
One scene the classmates believe the FL, 10 minuts later they suddenly don't.
And the list goes on endlessly, wiht nearly all characters and a lot of plotlines. Kt almost feels like they wantdd tk make a sketch comedy show, but weren't willing to commit to it in the end.
The acting, soundtrack, set design etc. are watchable, but middle of the pack at best. So overall the show is really not very good.

The good, the Bad and the Ugly.
The good:An Chuxia is a strong female lead, and who doesnt love that? She doesn't bend herself backwards to satisfy any men and that's great.
It's a light easy watch with short episodes. 5 minutes of each episode is title sequences and ending scenes too, so it's even shorter than you think!
The bad:
At one point there's 4 men interested in our female lead. That's just too many people to keep track off!
This one doesn't affect the story at all but nurses don't dress like that! School nurse or otherwise, nor do they have portraits of themselves pushing their chest out hanging around their office.
The mother is ridiculous. You think your son and the young woman you've taken into your house for your dead friend might be getting a bit steamy in the bedroom so you wait outside to listen? What a weirdo.
The downright ugly:
The dubbing in this drama is by far the worst I've ever come across. It's like they filmed one drama then dubbed it over with completely different dialogue.
It ended on a cliff hanger. I can't deal with cliff hangers so now I'm going to have to sit through another 20 episodes of horrendous dubbing to find out what happens.

You should watch this one (NO! )
You would recommend this to others. (No!)
You could watch this again. (No!)
Maybe this would be enjoyable when it was released but if you plan to watch it now, you will end up fast-forwarding it as I did. I watched both the seasons in 2 days. Whew!
There was no chemistry at all between the main lead pair. The lead actress is such a good performer but unfortunately, there was no support and scope for her character to grow and for her to showcase her acting skills. The supporting cast was surprisingly good especially the mother. But its lacking in plot (the story is cliched) and acting and it drags on and on and on.
I wouldn't recommend it personally but one can see a few episodes and decide for yourself.
