Love of Kill

I enjoyed Love of Kill because of the setting of the assassin's milieu, the mysterious past of the main male protagonist, and his connection to the main female protagonist. The rest of it did not really work for me, and I guess the attempt at a love story was the biggest thing that missed the mark. In other words, I am not a big fan of relationships where one person is hounding the other to the point of stalking, but the other one seems completely not bothered. I felt like there was almost no chemistry between the main couple at this point, and the way was intertwined with the mystery (and even after it was revealed) made the whole love story seem very unclear and very strange. On the other hand, the dramatic element worked quite well in the last few episodes, so I enjoyed them. Plus, they even gave me a taste of what could come next. However, a couple of scenes at the end did give away some surprises, which made the plot's direction for the next installment quite predictable. As for the characters, I quite liked the charismatic main male protagonist, while the cold female protagonist was rather unintriguing despite everything I learned about her. Of the supporting characters, I liked both of Chateau's colleagues, although I was still annoyed by how thick their plot armor was. SPOILERS. I was discussing one scene and telling a friend that I did not understand how "No mouth-kun" could survive being shot from about a meter away from a professional assassin and that I wondered where the bullet was. My friend made me laugh for me by saying: "He probably caught it in his teeth!"  END OF SPOILERS Love of Kill is, in the end, quite contradictory as some parts worked and others did not work at all and therefore worth 5/10.
