8/10 Stars: An above average mini with the tried and true formula of a reborn heroine using the knowledge of her past life to outmaneuver foes and get ahead on inner household scheming, all the while falling in love.

6/10 Stars: A better than usual mini with an interesting premise, but a disappointing finish.

7.5/10 Stars: A good time if you don't want to commit to a full length drama and don't mind an ML who is a firetruck red flag, along with a darker storyline.

4/10 Stars: Another "let's torture the FL so she can overcome trials to ultimately succeed in business". Honestly, if a drama isn't going to be good, it should at least be bad with flair, but ultimately it was so mid and overdramatic, that it was boring. Skip for me.

5.1/10 Stars: A highly anticipated Wuxia that proved to be one of the biggest disappointments of the year, which is impressive considering the year was 2020. Everything was stale from the sets to the story to the acting. You're better off reading the book.

5.2/10 Stars: A barely passable Wuxia/Xianxia hybrid with a romance that had good chemistry which was ultimately cancelled out by bland acting, choppy editing, and a plot that got bored with itself.

5.5/10 Stars: Had Pirates of the Caribbean vibes but lost them, and unfortunately, the plot.

5.7/10 Stars: A killer FL and a ML living a double life find themselves married in a mini drama that stands above the rest in terms of chemistry and characters, but is besot with the production quality pitfalls of the format. My rating may seem low, but it's pretty good for a mini.

5.9/10 Stars: A grounded historical drama of self-determination that yeeted itself into space with soap opera "Idol" dramatics half way through, and was both hindered and made more complex by an unlikeable FL.

5/10 Stars: A coming of age tale for the boys, that was elevated by the girls, but couldn't decide what kind of story it was trying to be, so ultimately floundered, despite thought provoking themes.

5.4/10 Stars: A satirical Transmigration Period Rom Com (whew) that lost its way, and drank too much of its own Kool Aid to remember what it was trying to be.

5.4/10 Stars: A modern day Journey to the West with a lifeless human FL and immortal characters with (thankfully) a lot of charm. The story suffered from choppy pacing, directionless narrative, and an impressive lack of chemistry between the main couple. It was an Odyssey of a watch alright, just Odysseus's. I joke, it wasn't THAT bad.

5.6/10 Stars: My Dearest Nemesis is corny in the way burnt popcorn is: Overdone, stale, and inedible. You can find fresher, calorie filled entertainment to snack on elsewhere.

5.7/10 Stars: A Hallmark story that lacked energy, chemistry, and common sense. It wasn't awful, but I wish I would've dropped.

5.9/10 Stars: Melo Movie is Our Beloved Summer 2.0 with less interesting characters and scant chemistry, with potential that fell to the wayside in pursuit of overdone tropes.

6/10 Stars: An intense drama that is very watchable, but not very good.

6/10 Stars: An inoffensive nothing burger that should have been a movie, but relies on Jisoo's star power and cameos to make up the difference. It's a fine watch if you're bored, but there is a risk you might become even more bored.

6/10 Stars: A healing island romance in which three sisters return home to get black out drunk everyday, and find respite and romance in their hometown. Not terrible, but not good.

6/10 Stars: A Joseon drama with a modern feel that raised the bar with cinematography, costuming, and acting, but then immediately did the Limbo underneath said bar with it's overly Mary Sue main character and unrealistic plot.

5.9/10 Stars: An annoying FL, inconsistent characters, and poor pacing make Moon River a body swapping drama I'd rather swap out for something else.
