8.4/10 Stars: The battle for work/life balance commences when the legendary assassin Kingfisher returns to the workplace after maternity leave and finds herself in the the line of fire of the police and a very determined journalist… who also happens to be her husband.

7.4/10 Stars: A refreshing tale of rags to riches that didn't stop long enough to smell the roses of romance along the way.

6/10 Stars: A mediocre rom com with little chemistry where a fangirl lands a dream job at the company founded by her favorite Idol, only to find herself Reverse Uno-ed when her idol becomes her second biggest fan, with first place going to none other than the CEO.

9.1/10 Stasrs: An existential examination of idealism, conviction, and morality seamlessly embedded into a gritty Wuxia that packs a punch by unpacking human nature.

6.9/10 Stars: Spooky in love was touted by marketing material as a supernatural romance with chills and thrills galore, but it was merely your average Chaebol Rom Com dressed up in ghostly attire it ditched all too soon. Though it wasn’t as spook-tacular (I couldn’t help myself) as I hoped it would be, it was still a nice time and added some fun to tired tropes. And with the utter graveyard of failed dramas this year, the barebones of a good story is enough for me.

8.4/10 Stars: A surprisingly chill case study on gender equality packaged in a light hearted romantic comedy in which a foodie forced into marriage must square up against the patriarchy with the help of her girl squad, her farming know how, and her sickly husband. It's like the Barbie (2023) movie, but set in a Feudal Society.

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.

6/10 Stars: A teenage tinker is forced to marry a fearsome general who she must outmaneuver and friend zone so she can ride into the sunset with her handsome prince.

The Sleepless Princess is very cheesy, and looses its grip when it tries to be angsty and serious. A skip from me.

A famous Xianxia folktale visited that must have been visited by a dementor, because there was absolutely no life to be seen.

Perfect for fans of Eternal Love, but not for me. lol.

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

A cotton candy Xianxia about a matchmaker and an immortal that was too fluffy for my tastes...

A claustrophobic and cinematic exploration of nomadic life for those who enjoy slower paced stories.

Dropped: A fantastic coming of age Wuxia with a weird romance that made me drop.

Dropped: Our Sticky Love isn't a sticky as it thought it was, because it in no way adhered to my good opinion. The drama is a Rom Com that tried desperately to be cheeky by being self aware and referential with sly looks directly at the camera, but drank too much of it's own K-Drama kool aid to think about how it looked on the other end.

A Period Idol Mystery that was too easily solved with a lackluster romance.

Dropped: I'm so sorry queen, but this was real bad. There were no actors involved in the making of this production lol.

Dropped: Short and comedic. but too slapstick.

A very synthetic, kiddie Xianxia that melted my brain a little too much...
