Move to Heaven: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.8/10 Stars: Amazing performances and a stellar, thought provoking concept make Move to Heaven worth the watch, but the lack of character development and emotional follow through stop it from becoming a masterpiece.

Family by Choice: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
7/10 Stars: Half romance/half family drama, Family By Choice is a better choice than the original Chinese drama (Go Ahead), with strong chemistry between leads, but nothing groundbreaking.

Listening Snow Tower: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.5/10 Stars: A Wuxia with a cool story that gets tripped up by a tangled romance and wooden acting. But there is a dude who looks like a Ninja Tutrtle, so that's fun. The drama had many issues, but I was seated for all 56 episodes. I have no excuse.

The Starry Love: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.4/10 Stars: A cheesy Xianxia that subverted tropes and focused on sisterhood, but got lost in the episode count filled with repetitive storylines. Still worth a watch for fantasy lovers though.

Princess Silver: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.6/10 Stars: So bad, it's good? I won't go that far, but it felt like a long form vertical drama that gave up on itself. But why did i like it so much?

Love in Pavilion: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.6/10 Stars: Ahh! A mediocre prequel to the Fox Spirit Matchmaker series that can (AND SHOULD) be watched as a standalone. It's the only good one of the three. Please spare yourselves from the others.

A Dream within a Dream: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.6/10 Stars: Geared towards a more seasoned C-Drama viewer, ADWaD is a satirical transmigration parody with fun references, but a FRUSTRATING female lead.

Hospital Playlist: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
7/10 Stars: A slice of life, non-soap medical drama that is LIGHT on romance, but refreshingly grounded, following 5 Surgeon BFF's around the workplace. If you like medical dramas, this is probably for you. If not, this won't make you change your mind lol.

Veil of Shadows: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.8/10 Stars: This was not good and I know that. In fact, it was downright ridiculous, but I watched the whole thing. It leans both dark AND childish somehow, and I thought we would land some place different than we did. What a fever dream. I don't really recommend, but you do you.
