The Killer Is a Bit Cute (2024)

Adorable fun ride with chemistry

Great chemistry between the leads in this vertical drama about a FL who, after losing her memories, develops alter egos which she acts out with the ML supporting her all the way (even when she goes off the rails imagining the strangest scenarios).

ML is a walking green flag as he will do anything to protect the FL but also help her live out her strange fantasies (in this one, believing she is an assassin). What makes this entire show hilarious is the FL is SO SHORT, and her hair is a very cute fashion statement (I don't know what the style is called but the two bear-like buns on the head), that when she thinks she is a deadly killer you just think "what a cute kitten!" She is also a very incompetent assassin.

This is a quick and easy watch, the plot does not lang and it has continuity from ep to ep. I do think the costumes needed an upgrade. I don't really score the music as I'm not a big music-follower on Cdramas so can't speak of it.

I was surprised to see on the ML's bio that he primarily does vertical dramas because his acting is really good. I've since seen the FL in other shows (Mr. Xiao's Lovely Maid) and she is a great comedian with impeccable timing. Find both of them in My Unconventional Wife and Love of a Thousand Years. Definitely I will put both down as actors to watch.

You know what's cute? That the ML and FL are engaged to be married IRL!

NOTE: While the FL and ML are obviously going to stay together, the FL's condition is not resolved at the end so the scenario of her believing she is someone else will repeat. I would have preferred the doctor giving the ML some hope that one day her brain would have healed... (that's the scenario I'm going with).
