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

A Wuxia/Period Idol Romance whose destination made the journey questionable.

Dropped: The premise of Death's Game is so interesting, and the series received rave reviews for both acting and story so I went in with high expectations.

Dropped: King the Land is a fluffy, no stakes rom com about the "king" (aka Chaebol) of a hotel who falls in love with a capable employee. It gave hallmark and 2010's rom com energy, but I still wanted more from it...

Dropped: Strong Girl Nam Soon is quite the deviation from Strong Girl Bong Soon (Also Known as: Strong Woman Bong Soon). The drama is a spin off that was looking to capitalize on the popularity of the originator with a bigger budget, shiny cast, and Marvel aspirations. Alas. ..

Dropped: Gyeongseong Creature is set in Japanese Occupied Korea during the 1940's, and has a very similar vibe to Stranger Things. But it is MUCH more graphic. Blood and gore everywhere lol. The drama takes a look at a Japanese experimental prison camp inspired by the real life Unit 731...

Dropped: A contemporary fantasy with Nine Tailed Aspirations with a likable couple, but the acting wasn't there for me. ..

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.

8.8/10 Stars: A missing prince, a watchman, and a man with a plan walk into an inn...

6/10 Stars: A silly Xianxia that embraces absurdity over angst, in a somewhat bumpy, but fun ride that almost pushed me to the brink of dropping with its uneven pacing. However, it reeled me back in with the bewildering whimsy.

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.

7/10 Stars: A shorter, low budget and low stakes drama that exceeds expectations with its comedy.

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

7.1/10 Stars: Moody and eye catching aesthetics with uneven pacing and angsty romance, that was saved by cool fight scenes, world building, and assassin intrigue.

8/10 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.

7.25/10 Stars: Star crossed lovers must race against time to uncover the truth behind conspiracies past and present in a short drama with an FL who shines and themes that stick the landing.

7.3/10 Stars: The live action adaptation of a popular fantasy web novel and anime, the story takes place in a fictional setting, inspired by ancient China, but has a more unique and otherworldly system of magic and world building. It has whispers of romance, but the camaraderie and skill building is the main focus.

8.1/10 Stars: A romance that transcends reincarnation.

7.4/10 Stars: A top notch mini with immaculate vibes, a cohesive story, and adorable couples.

7.3/10 Stars: Wonderland of Love is a mixed bag, but ultimately, I'd recommend if you like a bit of action in your romance, and don't mind a sometimes unreasonable FL.
