At the end of the day, Jentry is a teenage girl who just wants to be normal. Her relationships with her friends, her secretive great-aunt, and her own self might be colored by the paranormal, but they all feel very rooted in realism. The scene with Kit works so well because even though it’s a demon making a skin costume, it’s also about teenage crushes and complicated feelings (and the fact that those complicated feelings stem from your crush actually being a demonic creature). Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld certainly isn’t the only high school supernatural romp out there, but Wu takes care to balance the fantastical elements with the real ones. Still, the show works so well because Wu isn’t afraid to get weird. As both a coming-of-age story and a supernatural show, Jentry Chau could easily fall into some cliched genre pitfalls. But Wu doesn’t let that happen, simply by embracing the funkier beats and really letting them sing. It’s in the little details in the background, like Jentry’s Lisa Frank leopard poster and Gugu’s crocs. And it’s also in the bigger scenes, like that romantic moment between Jentry and Kit, set against the sewing of a flesh suit. Now that’s something special — and the whole show is a special, weird gem that sparkles with neon intensity.

Kit sacrifices himself in the name of love and succumbs to his death. Seeing Kit's dead body, Jentry puts on the robe and fights the Mogui to extract Cheng from within. After bringing out Cheng, she helps the father-daughter duo reunite in the afterlife.
