First music video curse where the school is in danger, students are losing their souls and became mindless bodies around the campus after listening to the video of Chen Ze Xuan playing on the cursed piano. If the video goes viral, the world would be in trouble. Story Logic Flaw! How will the video go viral? Who is going to like and share the video, if the person watching and listening became a MINDLESS zombie!
Main characters are always portrayed as generous, sincere and perfect. Friendships in this show is very shallow. They keep talking about brotherhood and sisterhood, but they are all selfish and only call their friends when they are in need. At least Meng Po tries to save her one and only friend. Zhong Kui only calls on others when he needs information and help. If they don't have anything that will help with his situation he tells them off, " disappear", "why are you still here?" and such. Zhong Kui also takes Oouyang Kai as a disciple/ student, but teaches him NOTHING. Oouyang Kai is just an errand boy who does everything Zhong Kui tells him to do.
Meng Po is all in all nice and sincere character. She sacrifices herself for others, she's an outstanding mixologist and basically a typical damsel in distress no matter how you look at it. Overall, she is a bland and boring stereotypical character, who is only interesting because of the situation and events that occurred in her past.
Lu bo ya..., got this creepy smile and awkwardness going on that keeps you guessing whether he is good or bad. In hind sight, I would say bad acting, because if he "acted" good and sincere, it would make his character more believable as a nice, warm and perfect person. It would give the later story a better punch. Unless that was the actor's good and sincere acting, then I'm disappointed. Either way, it might not be the actor's fault and more what the production/director wanted. Lu bo ya shines and becomes more lovable as a character after his change later in the series.
Oouyang Kai is naive, because he is young and carefree. He's mostly useful to the other characters, because he has money, a car and desperate for friends. He's loyal, faithful to a flaw, caring not just to the girl he loves, but to his friends as well. He's the goofball, always with smile, always glad to see his friends. He has his own little flaws, plus no supernatural powers or knowledge. He's nobody special, just a normal "boring" human being. He is the only likable and sincere character to root for and care about.
En Xi is a good friend, who could not help herself fall into a love triangle. She has a difficult life from the beginning. From death of father, addicted mother, classmates and faculty discrimination, being controlled by her crush to do bad deeds, so on and so forth. Being torn between her best friend, doing the right thing and staying on the good side of someone she loves. Did she ever have a chance? Poor girl! It is what makes her perfect to be the key/guide. I'm glad that Oouyang Kai was always there for her, but at the same time... she just never gets a break.
