REVIEW: Love of Thousand Years [C-drama]

I struggled to push through this one despite it seeming like it was going to be a good show. The leads were beautiful; the story timeless; only 30 episodes. What went wrong?

REVIEW: Fighter of the Destiny [C-drama]

Its only saving grace is that it has very compelling and fleshed out supporting characters to prop up the very bland and boring leads.

REVIEW: Miss Truth [C-drama]

With a fantastic love triangle, an unconventional leading lady, and well-constructed crime solving, I wouldn’t miss this one if I were you.

REVIEW: Ashes of Love [C-drama]

If a drama has a character named "Rat Fairy" and I continue to watch, you know we've got a winner on our hands.

REVIEW: Lost Love in Times [C-drama]

It started out so promising, but then it treated the audience unkindly with all its gaping plot holes and loose ends.
