Synopsis
Devil Beside You stars Ranie Yang and Mike He as Qi Yue and Ah Meng. At the beginning, Qi Yue is in love with the basketball star, Yuan Yi, but she accidentally drops her love letter to him in front of Ah Meng, a rude, inconsiderate, and ill-tempered guy. Ah Meng then threatens to reveal her love letter unless she becomes his servant. Qi Yue reluctantly agrees and initially hates him, but as she spends more and more time with Ah Meng, they begin to have deeper and deeper feelings for eachother. Unfortunately, there are many problems such as the fact that Ah Meng's father and Qi Yue's mother are actually engaged! Also there is competition of love from many others as well.

Review
Devil Beside You is quite the emotional Taiwanese drama. The best part is that the ending is actually somewhat happy and finalized. Also I liked the fact that there were so many different problems and obstacles that Ah Meng and Qi Yue had to endure, which made the series feel very episodic. Very episode usually introduced some sort of new love interest or problem. Also there was qutie a bit of focus on the problems of other characters such as Qing Zi/Yuan Yi, Li Xiang/Yang Ping, and Yali/Sisen (All of them are supporting characters in this drama).

The acting was pretty good although I initially disliked how Mike portrayed Ah Meng, but by the end of the movie I loved the character (although at the end I had a brief moment of hate, which you will understand once you watch it - don't worry it's for dramatic effect). The supporting cast was also very strong and each character was well portrayed. But I didn't like the character Yuan Yi as much because he acted too much like a little sissy most of the time. Rainie and Mike had great on-screen chemistry, and they had a very realistic relationship including fights and sex.

I thought the music was so-so, Rainie is decent at singing, but I didn't really like the opening theme too much. However, since the series is called "Devil Beside You" the theme was appropriate. There is a good mix of heavy -rock-sounding music and lighter, more pretty sounds, which added a lot of emotion.

Personally, Mike He is one of my favorite actors so I really enjoyed this drama series. To all girls, he is quite possibly one of the hottest Taiwanese actors I have ever seen. Guys, I'm sure you will think Rainie is a really cute and sweet girl after seeing this series. She sure acted the part of the innocent girl perfectly.

This series is highly recommended for anyone who is looking to watch a happier series (I hate sad endings, seriously). Also this is quite a fast-paced series and is also very interesting throughout.

Great review ! Love 'Devil Beside You' !!

oh I love this series. Although this isn't the best, but it's definitely the cutest. Unfortunately, I'm left without an end. This guy on youtube uploaded only until episode 14 part 3... -.-

yea, Mike is pretty damn cool. I can see why most girls would fall for him. If I were a girl, I would too lol... hey ok, and rainie, she is such a cutie. I love the different ways she would distort her face under different situations. Mike and Rainie, they're just like a perfect couple in anime.

It is the Cutest serie i've ever seen after meteor garden. i like mike he and rainie better than barbie s. and jerry yang in meteor garden though. mike's sooo hot!

great review...
wah..isit really that good?...i've heard my friends rave about mike,so i guess this show is good then..gotta put it on my list to watch..hehe

I just recently finished watching Devil Beside You and I was so overwhelmed because I never expected it to be this good. The story was great and was crowned by the great actors. I never once get bored and always looked forward to the next episode but after the story gets further there's much more problems which I kinda avoid especially love triangles but nowadays you can't possibly avoid that because almost in every drama there's got to be love trianles.All in all a great drama in my opinion and as people have said Mike He and Rainie Yang does make a nice/cute couple.

devil beside you is probably one of my favorite sappy dramas ive seen recently, and i have to say one of the best, although some things are outrageous in the plot and so unbelievable.

yup Mike He is one of my favourites! also my favourite girl is in it, Rainie!
ive only watched a couple episodes deom my friends but they are really good.

wow!! this is my fav.drama of all!! but i missed the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd episode.. Aii.. i wanna download this drama!!! How?? I want it A.S.A.P... Ahaha.. Hmm.. I'll wait..

Great review. I started watching this show a long time ago, and right around..say..the 8th episode, I stopped. For some reason I lacked interest. The only thing memorable about the show was the main dude's smile. It's so ugly, but he's hot. xD
