This is my first ever review but seeing how much I actually loved this drama, I knew I had to share my opinion with others.

Love Me If You Dare is a Chinese drama based on the novel "Close Your Eyes. Stay Close to Me" by Ding Mo. Combine a person with a strong sense of justice and an emotionally closed off genius psychologist and you get the best crime-solving duo  I have ever had the pleasure to follow.

I tend to find Chinese dramas to be slow, as in unnecessarily-dragging-the-plot-and-losing-their-beauty-along-the-way kind of slow.  This was not the case with Love Me If You Dare. I watched it all in one go (after an unbearable amount of time waiting for all the episodes to air). And let me tell you, I was beyond excited by it. Every episode had me craving for more!

I found Love Me If You Dare to have the perfect mixture of romance, criminal psychological thriller, and mystery. The chemistry between the main characters, Simon and Jenny, was breath-taking. you could see the sparks in the air in every scene were they interacted with each other.  I loved how the plot didn't go straight into the romance but, instead, allowed us to see the romance between our main characters grow with each episode, as the characters themselves developed. Huo Wallace (Simon) and Ma Sandra (Jenny) really did bring justice to the characters. Their performance was intriguing and beautiful, to say the least. The plot itself was perfection. It didn't leave space for one to be bored and at every step, a lingering sense of mystery was present making us excited about what was going to happen next. This itself put Love Me If You Dare apart from all other dramas I have seen. There were no cliches. Everything was unpredictable, leading to a much-appreciated excitement towards this drama.

Loved the ending though I believe they left it open for a possible sequel. There are many theories about this ending which certainly make sense (if you want to read them after you watched the whole drama)  however, I'm still wishing for a second season because I just can't get enough of Simon and Jenny duo...

Overall, I believe this is a must-watch drama for every drama fan. Highly recommended!
