5.9/10 Stars: My Heroic Husband is a story within a story, following a contemporary book character whose author transplants him into a historical webnovel with all his previous memories intact and gives him the role of Ning Yi, a useless matrilocal husband. Determined to make the most of his new situation, Ning Yi joins forces with his new wife, Su Tan Er, and they slowly fall in love as they franchise the family business... and fight off bandits to save the nation.

5/10 Stars: An unserious period idol romance with vintage Zhao Lu Si that feels like mindless filler.

5/10 Stars: A romance centric Xianxia with a transmigrated FL played by an actress more suited for modern time... and Arthur Chen. It had potential, but I couldn't buy into the romance.

5/10 Stars: Loved the FL character and actress, along with the world building, but the characterization and storytelling could've used some refinement.

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.

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.
