Synopsis

The legend of a team called MIT secretly protecting Sheng Ying School was never public acknowledged but nonetheless spread wildly among the student body. For some reason, the team had disappeared and evil began to rack havoc in the school. The last remaining member of MIT, Teacher Cherry, decided to recruit the badest of all bad students, 007, 187, 747 and Tian Mo Xing, to form a new generation of MIT who would solve the crimes and restore the school back to its former glory.

Review:

My Overall Rating: 8.5/10

Storyline: 9/10

Acting: 8/10

Effectiveness: 8/10

I had actually started watching this drama as it was airing on TV but then soon gave up on it because the beginning was good but not as captivating as I thought it would be. What's more is that the episodes were particularily long (approx. 1hour 15 minutes including songs.) And so I didn't have much patience to watch it (though I wanted to support Arron Yan who stars in this drama.) I started watching it due to the fact that I needed something to do on my bus rides to and from school.

Overall, I thought that Pi Li Mit was a good drama, particularily because it isn't the typical love drama and not the typical horror drama. The storyline behind it actually builds to the end through several other storylines which is really creative in my sense and at the end, it all ties up.

The relationship between characters are changed and left mysterious even until the end, revealing bit by bit but having enough to make the ending stand out.

Personally, I think that the acting for each character had been different considering the fact that each actor themselves have come from different entertainment background. Arron through the music industry, Gui Gui through acting and singing in a large group, Xiao Gui being a television host. The only constant actors I know of were Christine Fan and Lu Ting Wei.

Love: Of course, if it were up to me, Gui Gui and Arron, (or in this case Lucifer and 007) would've never been together due to the fact that...well I don't like them together. But in this drama, they actually seemed to match, making me accept the fact that, though they probably would be a horrible couple in real life, they have a chance as Lucifer and 007. I didn't want to watch the drama due to the fact that I knew I would cry as their romance progressed, and it's true, I did, but in a way, their relationship was interesting...which is where I'm leaving at now.

All in all, I do suggest that people out there would watch this drama because it is a good drama and different from the typical romance or whatever drama.
