Moon River: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
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.

Genie, Make a Wish: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.3/10 Stars: A Contemporary Fantasy that tries too hard to be like a Marvel show with a sky high budget, on location shoots, and a great cast who struggled with their inconsistent characters, as they found themselves trapped in a convoluted plot like a Genie in a bottle. I would like to make a wish that this was better.

6.5/10 Stars: A slow, creeping mystery that led to nowhere, but kept me guessing until the bitter end.

Feud: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6/10 Stars: A twisty, complex Xianxia whose story is wasted on a high school theatre level production, bland acting, and too many episodes. Put me in there coach, and I will paper mache a set worthy of the plot. I can't full heartedly recommend, but the story is good...It's just all the other things.

The First Frost: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.2/5 Stars: The First Frost (a standalone sister drama to Hidden Love) is what I imagine Wattpad is probably like. We have an irresistible FL, stalkerish ML, and so much contrived trauma it felt like the spiritual successor of the novel, A Little Life. The vibes were off, but it is very popular internationally.

Moonlit Reunion: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.6/10 Stars: A campy Xianxia/Wuxia hybrid with epic side characters, demon hunting, and a Male Lead who phoned it in.

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.

The Prisoner of Beauty: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.75/10 Stars: A true enemies to lovers romance with a cunning FL and an aura farming ML with a grudge, bogged down by canal building and politics that dragged.

Head over Heels: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
7/10 Stars: A lukewarm fantasy romance that probably works better for younger viewers, but is generally a mid time.

Yummy, Yummy? Yummy!: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.8/10 Stars: A slower paced food focused drama where a whole modern day family is yeeted to the Tang Dynasty, and the female lead falls in love... with her ancestor.

Our Unwritten Seoul: Spoiler-Free Review
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.

Way Back Love: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
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.

Love of the Divine Tree: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
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.

Les Belles: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
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.

Legend of the Female General: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
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.

Dear Hongrang: Spoiler-Free Review
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.
