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.

8.5/10 Stars: This has no relation to the Sandra Bullock movie lol. Mystery, comedy, and a young love.

9/10 Stars: A romance that leans into the dramatics and comedy of a Telenovela, but turns to be so much more with a a married couple and family you grow to love.

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.

8.75/10 Stars: A mystery that cloaks itself in horror for the first few episodes, but then reveals itself to be a brilliant metaphor when it steps into the light.

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.
