What. Could. Have Been. Dream to You promised a tale as old as trope, featuring the classic high school sweethearts torn apart without rhyme or reason reuniting in adulthood. And I guess it was that, just done badly...

The Sleepless Princess is very cheesy, and looses its grip when it tries to be angsty and serious. A skip from me.

A famous Xianxia folktale visited that must have been visited by a dementor, because there was absolutely no life to be seen.

Perfect for fans of Eternal Love, but not for me. lol.

Dropped: A Beauty and the Beast adjacent Xianxia that felt like a Disney Channel Original movie, but went to zany for my liking.

A cotton candy Xianxia about a matchmaker and an immortal that was too fluffy for my tastes...

A claustrophobic and cinematic exploration of nomadic life for those who enjoy slower paced stories.

Dropped: A fantastic coming of age Wuxia with a weird romance that made me drop.

A Period Idol Mystery that was too easily solved with a lackluster romance.

Short and comedic. but too slapstick.

A very synthetic, kiddie Xianxia that melted my brain a little too much...

This was frustratingly bad. The trailers and promotional material wove a web of exaggeration that portrayed the drama as an authentic, grounded Period Romance that was trying to do more than the age old tropes. But it was just Gollum leading me to Shelob...

Assassins, angst, and trauma filled relationships...

A whimsical, pleasant Xianxia romance that never felt compelling.

A story with less life than a corpse.

This Thriving Land is a grounded republican period drama, following two sisters who just cannot catch a break, along with their Ebenezer Scrooge father who is just the worst, and needs to clear out those sinuses.

The lesser version of Ashes of Love and Love and Redemption.

Empty storytelling with a shiny, filtered shell.
