7/10 Stars: A Master and Disciple switch roles in a mortal realm focused Xianxia, with a refreshing Female Lead and a Debbie Downer of a love interest.

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.

7/10 Stars: THE quintessential modern Xianxia whose popularity cemented the genre template of mortal trials, love throughout lifetimes, and many dramatic misunderstandings.

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.

7/10 Stars: A shorter, low budget and low stakes drama that exceeds expectations with its comedy.

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.

7.6/10 Stars: A truly hilarious and quintessential Rom Com that doesn't go deep, but for once, I didn't mind.

2.5/5 Stars: Just no.

6.9/10 Stars: Promised Mulan, but delivered an angsty love story bogged down by a low budget and too much deviation from the original source material.

7.4/10 Stars: A supernatural romance with good chemistry and decent acting that struggled to overcome a convoluted plot that only works when you don't think about it.

7.5/10 Stars: A magical, but sometimes edgy mystery, with a fun office setting and inherited angst.

7.2/10 Stars: A stand alone prequel to the famed Chief Inspector series (1971) that explores South Korean crime in the 1950's and shines in its camaraderie. There are violent crimes that do constitute an MA rating, but it's on the lighter side in comparison to many other dramas with that rating.

7.3/10 Stars: If you are a sensitive viewer, this is not for you. Cinematography and chemistry were great, but could have done without the weirdness. I recommend with caution.

7/10 Stars: Somewhat stale in the romance and acting department, but the palace cases were intriguing and thought provoking. I recommend going into the drama with the mindset that it's not a romance, but solely a mystery.

7.6/10 Stars: The romance didn't pull me in, but I enjoyed the comedy and the character of Hong Sim.

3.6/10 Stars: Run from this like Mr. Collins is chasing you.

5.2/10 Stars: Cheesy, but like a bleu cheese. Not for me.

5.3/10 Stars: An adaptation of the famous legend of On Dal that was beset by production issues of mythic proportion.

7.6/10 Stars: Perfect for Fall, Goblin is a product of it's time that holds up in more ways than it doesn't.

7.1/10 Stars: Moody and eye catching aesthetics with uneven pacing and angsty romance, that was saved by cool fight scenes, world building, and assassin intrigue.
