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.

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

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

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

A whimsical, pleasant Xianxia romance that never felt compelling.

The lesser version of Ashes of Love and Love and Redemption.

Empty storytelling with a shiny, filtered shell.

A tense investigative drama that follows the format of the TV show 24, and shines with it's authentic Tang Dynasty lens, but can't string together a cohesive narrative.

3.1/10 Stars: The worst C-drama I have ever completed. Truly. The CGI was good, but everything else felt like I was being punked..

3.45/10 Stars: Ugh, Bella Naur. An unsatisfying conclusion to the most heinous trilogy in (my) existence.

4.2/10 Stars: Fluffy and somewhat vampiric for a hot minute, but ultimately skippable.

5/10 Stars: Loved the FL character and actress, along with the world building, but the characterization and storytelling could've used some refinement.

5.1/10 Stars: A highly anticipated Wuxia that proved to be one of the biggest disappointments of the year, which is impressive considering the year was 2020. Everything was stale from the sets to the story to the acting. You're better off reading the book.

5.2/10 Stars: A barely passable Wuxia/Xianxia hybrid with a romance that had good chemistry which was ultimately cancelled out by bland acting, choppy editing, and a plot that got bored with itself.

6.4/10 Stars: A Robin Hood-esque Joeson tale of body swapping and romance that suffers from severe miscasting and inconsistent story telling, but is still a mostly pleasant watch.

6.4/10 Stars: A middle of the road period fantasy drama without high highs or low lows.

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.

6.6/10 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.
