So much of Love Me if You Dare reminded me of the BBC series, Sherlock. Both series incorporate drama and mystery fluidly. Both shows have a brilliant protagonist (Sherlock/Professor Bo) and a helpful assistant/sidekick (Watson/Jian Yao). Even the cinematography and soundtrack were similar. (And at some point, some of Sherlock's theme song played in the background) The major differences between the TV shows is that Love Me if You Dare is slower paced and has more of a romance factor. One minuscule issue I had with Love Me if You Dare was that I felt the relationship flow between the two main characters was drastically sped up. I would've preferred if it was slow and steady like the first several episodes, rather than speeding it up to a climax and then having it plateau. The major downfall of this beautiful drama series, along with several other Asian dramas, was the horrible acting of those seen as 'Americans'. I understand that the show's main audience isn't located in the U.S.A. but, man, were the last few episodes full of cringe-worthy American appearances. Overlooking the 'American' acting, I thoroughly enjoyed the series and am gleefully waiting for the supposed next season.
