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

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.

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

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.

7.2/10 Stars: I recommend with caveats, because it was great on paper, but loses it's grip in execution.

7.2/10 Stars: All the lifetimes, all the angst, and all the magic of the genre.

7.25/10 Stars: Less crazy than the genre usually is thanks to a more tournament and romance focused approach, but never fret, the drama did not skip the angst. The acting of the FL didn't jive with me, but the chemistry between the main couple was excellent.

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.

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.

7.9/10 Stars: A cheesy fantasy with Halloweentown vibes, and intriguing cases and side romances to boot.

8/10 Stars: A perfect starter Xianxia with oodles of silly whimsy and angst, a swoony 2ML, and a ML you grow to root for.

This rating is based purely on entertainment value. It is a fun time not a quality time. I'd recommend to those who are willing to suspend disbelief in favor of great chemistry and swoony romance.

8.1/10 Stars: A mild romance made better by gorgeous cinematography (think Pursuit of Jade) and the brilliant scheming of the FL and ML.

8/10 Stars: A quiet, non-romance mystery told in two timelines, with an ensemble of ancient avengers who assemble to take down a Harvey Weinstein wannabe in a man bun in an absolutely devastating quest for impossible justice.

8/10 Stars: A Ming Dynasty Bachelorette where the winner not only gets a rose, but a big ol' tea farm in a romance starring a feirce FL and a loyal ML, whose love story took the backseat to an engrossing fight for the family throne.

8.45/10 Stars: A modern take on a Wuxia that starts off with a bang, but looses focus and runs out of time towards the end.

8.5/10 Stars: A green flag, committed ML and a clever FL fall in love in a story of rebirth, revenge, and solving cases to save the kingdom.
