7/10 Stars: Half romance/half family drama, Family By Choice is a better choice than the original Chinese drama (Go Ahead), with strong chemistry between leads, but nothing groundbreaking.

6.5/10 Stars: A Wuxia with a layered story that gets tripped up by a tangled romance and wooden acting. But there is a dude who looks like a Ninja Turtle, so that's fun. The drama had many issues, but I was seated for all 56 episodes. I have no excuse.

6.5/10 Stars: A brilliant and authentic Wuxia weakened by angsty romance and poor pacing. Prepare for some serious yearning.

6.5/10 Stars: An epic Wuxia/Romantasy hybrid with solid characters that after one episode too many, turns into a Soap Opera.

6.4/10 Stars: A cheesy Xianxia that subverted tropes and focused on sisterhood, but got lost in the episode count filled with repetitive storylines. Still worth a watch for fantasy lovers though.

6.6/10 Stars: So bad, it's good? I won't go that far, but it felt like a long form vertical drama that gave up on itself. But why did i like it so much?

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.

6.6/10 Stars: A pure fluff Xianxia Transmigration drama with beautiful costumes and a story leans too YOUNG... as in Toddler characters galore.

6.6/10 Stars: Geared towards a more seasoned C-Drama viewer, ADWaD is a satirical transmigration parody with fun references, but a FRUSTRATING female lead.

6.75/10 Stars: A true enemies to lovers romance with a cunning FL and an aura farming ML with a grudge, bogged down by canal building and politics that dragged.

7/10 Stars: A lukewarm fantasy romance that probably works better for younger viewers, but is generally a mid time.

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.

6.8/10 Stars: A slower paced food focused drama where a whole modern day family is yeeted to the Tang Dynasty, and the female lead falls in love... with her ancestor.

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.

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.

7/10 Stars: A time loop drama bogged down by repetition, but the themes and intensity make up the difference.

7.25/10 Stars: Not a must watch, but a fun time with a whacky premise that somehow works.

7.3/10 Stars: A twin switcharoo that delves into failure, expectations, and identity with a romance that had the bones to be great, but never fleshed it out enough.

7/10 Stars: Not really a romance, but a melancholy reflection of love lost starring a grim reaper who is determined to save his first love from herself.
