A hybrid of Kingdom and The Haunted Palace with visual traits of Stranger Things, The East Palace is light on frights, heavy on squelching, and filled with vengeful spirits-- both living and dead.

4/5 Stars: Objectively, the drama deserves a higher rating, but the content was too graphic for my taste. I am a wee babe when it comes to bloodshed. I recommend for non-sensitive viewers.

Title: An Ancient Love Song (2023) 古相思曲 Platform: Viki MDL Rating: 8.2 Genre: Period Idol Romance/ Time Travel Episode Count: 14 (each episode is around 25 minutes) Parental Guidance Rating: G: Ignore the G rating, I'd say it's at least PG.

4/5 Stars: Zombies, a contract marriage, and a class war. Not for sensitive viewers.

4.1/5 Stars

4/5 Stars: This rating is based purely on entertainment value. It was a fun time, not a quality time.

4/5 Stars: Rebirth and revenge in the Ming Dynasty

4.2/5 Stars: A modern take on a Wuxia that starts off with a bang, but looses focus and runs out of time towards the end. The highlight of the drama was the balanced relationship between Hei Feng Xi (ML) and Bai Feng Xi (FL)...

4.75/ 5 Stars
