A bizarre twist of fate throws impoverished tearaway milk delivery girl Chu Xia together with an unlikely prince charming - ruthless know-it-all business heir Han Qi Lu, known to his schoolmates as master devil.
Tragedy strikes and Chu Xia finds herself orphaned and homeless. At the dying request of Chu Xia's mother, the Han family agrees to take her in until she reaches university age, much to Han Qi Lu's dismay.
But things soon get worse for him when his family insists Chu Xia must attend the same exclusive private school Han Qi Lu currently lords over. Not everyone at the school is enamoured with their new quirky class mate - least of all the master devil himself.
But Chu Xia's street-smarts help her find her way out of countless scrapes, winning her a few friends along the way!
Will Han Qi Lu and his school friends scare off Chu Xia, or will she win everyone over with her own unique charms? And will the bitter adversity between Chu Xia and master devil turn into something altogether...sweeter?

I really enjoyed season 1 of Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me, even if I thought it was the predictable enemies starting to feel differently about one another. I did have to re-watch the first season as both seasons blended into one for me and couldn't remember how and where it ended before heading into season 2, I'm glad I was able to binge watch it once both seasons were completed as it meant as soon as we saw the season 1 cliffhanger, I could get straight into season 2.
I think the whole cast were good together and all pulled off their characters well.
I loved Xing Fei as An Chu Xia, I became a fan of hers because of this drama series, she's your typical from rags to riches character, after her mother passes away she gets a 2nd chance at changing her life, even if Han Qi Lu wants to make her life at his home and school a misery, something that Chu Xia doesn't let get her down and always strives to be the best she can be. She's the type of person that wants to help her friends become a better version of themselves and helps them to do it and prove others they're wrong about them.
Also from this drama I became a fan of Li Hong Yi, Han Qi Lu is your typical know-it-all rich boy and business heir that thinks because he has power and money, means he can do and say whatever he wants. The more we get to know him, we get to see a softer side to him as well as past heartbreak that made him change the way he acted round people, meaning he raised a wall that as we go through the first season, he starts to lower for Chu Xia.
I loved Qie Lu Tong as Meng Xiao Nan, she added some comedy to the series and has a weakness when it comes to good looking guys. She cares deeply for her friend Chu Xia, and even moves schools to attend the same school as her so she's not alone. She doesn't seem to have much luck with the guys she falls for as they all only have eyes for Chu Xia, and she always has Chu Xia's back.
I think the addition of Jason Fu as Jiang Chen Chuan towards the end of season 1 was to give us a mysterious bad boy that we all can't help but love and adore. I always thought Chen Chuan and Xiao Nan were cute together, so I was gutted when nothing really happened between them.
I feel sorry for Zhang Jiong Min as Ling Han Yu as this is the 2nd drama series I have seen him be friend zoned, the other being I Hear You. He's always there when Chu Xia needs help or a friend, and even though he has feelings for her, he backs off trying to woo her, once he knows his friend Qi Lu has softened towards her and has started having feelings for her.
Sun An Ke as Mo Xin Wei is your typical rich bitch, she thinks because she has money, she is higher up the food chain and will do anything to make sure she gets who and what she wants, including Qi Lu.
Sunday Li as Wan Zi is Xin Wei's friend and disciple, she doesn't seem to have any morals or thoughts of her own and will do anything Xin Wei wants, she does add some comedy to the series, she also seems to be in her own world at times.
Li Cen Yi as Feng Shao is Chu Xia's friend and always has her back and vice versa, to me it seems she sees him as her brother, but he has a crush on her and seems to have feelings for her which he notices a change in her when she starts spending more time round Qi Lu.

I really enjoy watching this drama and even the 2nd time round I can't help binge watching the series. The series can be questionable at times but I cried, got mad and laughed, it's definitely a drama that makes you want to get straight into the next episode.
