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.

Hospital Playlist: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
7/10 Stars: A slice of life, non-soap medical drama that is LIGHT on romance, but refreshingly grounded, following 5 Surgeon BFF's around the workplace. If you like medical dramas, this is probably for you. If not, this won't make you change your mind lol.

Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
7.1/10 Stars: A so-so Joseon romance with slapstick adjacent comedy that still fares better than much of the Sageuks released nowadays, with compelling themes that were never fully explored.

Veil of Shadows: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.8/10 Stars: This was not good and I know that. In fact, it was downright ridiculous, but I watched the whole thing. It leans both dark AND childish somehow, and I thought we would land some place different than we did. What a fever dream. I don't really recommend, but you do you.

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.

Love of Nirvana: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
7/10 Stars: An enemies to lovers romance filled with angst, revenge, and Stockholm Syndrome. It's decent for the type of tangled love story it is, but isn't for everyone.

Knight Flower: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
7.4/10 Stars: A ninja filled historical parody that leaned too intense for my tastes at moments, and shined in it's comedy, but didn't leave a strong impression in romance or story.
