6/10 Stars: Not a must watch, but a campy comedy to kill time.

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.

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.

6.2/10 Stars: A slow, quiet drama starring a Female Lead with a stone cold heart, in a story that is neither fully a Wuxia or a romance, but instead is an introspective journey of individuals looking for a flicker of light in a stormy world.

3.1/5 Stars: A Xianxia that tells the same 6.2/10 Stars: A Xianxia that tells the same old story well, with a battle hardened FL who struggles to emote and a ML who considers love a taboo. Pacing is iffy and acting wasn't the strength, but there was good chemistry and production quality.

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.

6.4/10 Stars: A perfectly blasé idol drama that was underwhelming in its flat acting and predictable story, but committed no crimes. Only a good watch when there is nothing else to watch.

6.7/10 Stars: This tragically is not about ping pong, but instead is a fantasy drama intermingled with a mystery that brings our somewhat lifeless funeral directer female lead and a Jack of All trades ML together. A fine watch if you have time.

6.7/10 Stars: A melancholy look at the aftermath of a failed inter-cultural relationship, where former lovers reunite by chance and must reexamine the past to determine the future they truly want.

6.75/10 Stars: A Masquerade (2012) and Prince and the Pauper retelling that nails the duality of the role with an excellent performance by Yeo Jin Goo, but muddies the water with slow moving politics and a need to be beholden to the original storyline.

6.8/10 Stars: Check in at the Hotel Del Luna where the staff guide a ghost of the week to the other side in a drama with a promising premise that drags, thus doesn't let its stars reach their full potential.

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.

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.

6.5/10 Stars: A brilliant and authentic Wuxia weakened by angsty romance and poor pacing. Prepare for some serious yearning.

6.5/10 Stars: An epic Wuxia/Romantasy hybrid with solid characters that after one episode too many, turns into a Soap Opera.

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.

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?

6.6/10 Stars: A campy Xianxia/Wuxia hybrid with epic side characters, demon hunting, and a Male Lead who phoned it in.

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.

6.6/10 Stars: A pure fluff Xianxia Transmigration drama with beautiful costumes and a story leans too YOUNG... as in Toddler characters galore.
