7/10 Stars: A time loop drama bogged down by repetition, but the themes and intensity make up the difference.

7/10 Stars: A Master and Disciple switch roles in a mortal realm focused Xianxia, with a refreshing Female Lead and a Debbie Downer of a love interest.

7/10 Stars: Perfect for fans of Royal Rumors, Les Belles is a low stakes romantic comedy riddled with pacing issues, but finds its saving grace in its unseriousness, and with its likable Female Lead.

7/10 Stars: THE quintessential modern Xianxia whose popularity cemented the genre template of mortal trials, love throughout lifetimes, and many dramatic misunderstandings.

7/10 Stars: An enemies to lovers romance filled with angst, revenge, and Stockholm Syndrome. It's decent for the type of tangled love story it is, but isn't for everyone.

7/10 Stars: A shorter, low budget and low stakes drama that exceeds expectations with its comedy.

2.5/5 Stars: Just no.

6.9/10 Stars: Promised Mulan, but delivered an angsty love story bogged down by a low budget and too much deviation from the original source material.

7/10 Stars: Somewhat stale in the romance and acting department, but the palace cases were intriguing and thought provoking. I recommend going into the drama with the mindset that it's not a romance, but solely a mystery.

3.6/10 Stars: Run from this like Mr. Collins is chasing you.

7.1/10 Stars: Moody and eye catching aesthetics with uneven pacing and angsty romance, that was saved by cool fight scenes, world building, and assassin intrigue.

7.2/10 Stars: I recommend with caveats, because it was great on paper, but loses it's grip in execution.

7.2/10 Stars: All the lifetimes, all the angst, and all the magic of the genre.

3.6/5 Stars: Mostly an idol romance, with some inner household scheming and a ML who does his thang in a political side plot.

7.25/10 Stars: Less crazy than the genre usually is thanks to a more tournament and romance focused approach, but never fret, the drama did not skip the angst. The acting of the FL didn't jive with me, but the chemistry between the main couple was excellent.

7.3/10 Stars: If you're not into angst or high fantasy, this romance might be a skip. But the leads actually have chemistry and the story gets better as it goes along.

7.25/10 Stars: Star crossed lovers must race against time to uncover the truth behind conspiracies past and present in a short drama with an FL who shines and themes that stick the landing.

7.3/10 Stars: The live action adaptation of a popular fantasy web novel and anime, the story takes place in a fictional setting, inspired by ancient China, but has a more unique and otherworldly system of magic and world building. It has whispers of romance, but the camaraderie and skill building is the main focus.

7.4/10 Stars: A top notch mini with immaculate vibes, a cohesive story, and adorable couples.

7.3/10 Stars: Wonderland of Love is a mixed bag, but ultimately, I'd recommend if you like a bit of action in your romance, and don't mind a sometimes unreasonable FL.
