This Taiwanese drama is being shown in GTV and FTV. Being a Yan Ya Lun fan, I chanced upon it while I was looking through his projects. From the filming to the promotions, I said that it was very promising.

I love a good mystery. I might or might not be able to find clues and solve case while I read through or watch but I love it nonetheless. It's thrilling and keeps my mind running all throughout the book that I'm reading or the show that I'm watching. A good mystery should always keep me at my toes and keep me thinking. And that's what PiLi MIT had successfully done.

The show is about a group of students under the supervision of Teacher Cherry that calls themselves PiLi MIT. Mysterious things are currently happening in their school and their group tries to solve it. It's action packed and like I said, it will keep you thinking all throughout the show. The usual twist and turns of any mystery can be found in PiLi MIT.

The actors are really good as well. Yan Ya Lun (Arron Yan from Fahrenheit) has done a really good job as 007. Cold and distant but really smart. Some may even call him a genius. Lu Ting Wei as 187 is the cool guy whose good looks he uses to get the clues. And amazingly enough he gets the job done by asking his female contacts the necessary information that he needs. Huang Hong Sheng as 747 gave the series it's usual comic relief. He's usually the guy who gets hurt the most in the show because he does a lot of the difficult and scary stunts. Christine Fan as Teacher Cherry, gives you the feeling that there are still cool teachers in this world. Though, Guigui as "the Devil Star" or Lucifer was annoying. Granted that her character found the clues that helped 007 to solve the case, she was really annoying that made me wish they got someone else to play her part. Though, if that's really her role there in the series, well she did a good job!

This series has got me craving for more. Like I said, I love a good mystery. And if the series continue with this trend, I would try to catch the translated version in YouTube as much as I can just to satisfy my cravings for this show.
