7.3/10 Stars: A twin switcharoo that delves into failure, expectations, and identity with a romance that had the bones to be great, but never fleshed it out enough.

7/10 Stars: Not really a romance, but a melancholy reflection of love lost starring a grim reaper who is determined to save his first love from herself.

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.

7.4/10 Stars: A ninja filled historical parody that leaned too intense for my tastes at moments, and shined in it's comedy, but didn't leave a strong impression in romance or story.

7.6/10 Stars: A truly hilarious and quintessential Rom Com that doesn't go deep, but for once, I didn't mind.

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.

7.5/10 Stars: A magical, but sometimes edgy mystery, with a fun office setting and inherited angst.

7.2/10 Stars: A stand alone prequel to the famed Chief Inspector series (1971) that explores South Korean crime in the 1950's and shines in its camaraderie. There are violent crimes that do constitute an MA rating, but it's on the lighter side in comparison to many other dramas with that rating.

7.3/10 Stars: If you are a sensitive viewer, this is not for you. Cinematography and chemistry were great, but could have done without the weirdness. I recommend with caution.

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.

7.6/10 Stars: The romance didn't pull me in, but I enjoyed the comedy and the character of Hong Sim.

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

5.2/10 Stars: Cheesy, but like a bleu cheese. Not for me.

5.3/10 Stars: An adaptation of the famous legend of On Dal that was beset by production issues of mythic proportion.

4.6/10 Stars: Spare yourself.
