‘The Double’: Ep. 1 Run-down — Buried Alive and Coming Back Gorgeous
EPISODE 1 RECAP As the drama begins, we see a woman (Wu Jinyan) wearing all red, running across a forest. Her husband, who is dressed all in white, chases after her while weird music plays in the background. Is this supposed to be romantic or creepy? I’m confused. Next, weContinue Reading
‘You Are My Glory’ – Final Review
I apologize for the lack of recaps for the last two episodes. The truth is, if I were to write a recap, it would look something like this: Time-jump. Hug. Guy pushing buttons. Rocket going up. More hugs. End. Absolutely nothing else happens in terms of character or even plot.Continue Reading
‘You Are My Glory’: Ep. 26 – 30 Recap — Fluff Suffocation
I’m not sure how to recap these episodes because nothing actually… happens (?), but I’ll try my best. EPISODES 26 – 30 So, three main mini-arcs take place here. The first one: Yutu and Jingjing navigate their love life while being apart. Jingjing is with her film crew in aContinue Reading
‘Fox Spirit Matchmaker’: Ep. 1 Run-down
The full title of this drama is Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact. It doesn’t exactly sound exciting, but at least it’s not the generic “eternal” something. When I first read the English title, I thought it would be a comedy where Yang Mi plays a know-it-all fox fairy who lovesContinue Reading
‘You Are My Glory’: Ep. 21 – 25 Recap — Fluff Overload (for real)
A good romance has just enough fluff to keep you intrigued. You put in too much fluff and it becomes a fanfiction. That’s what these five episodes feel like: a fanfiction of the previous twenty. And I feel like I’m intruding on a couple’s life instead of watching a storyContinue Reading

‘In the Name of the Brother’: Ep. 1 Run-down — Nice Hat…
To be honest, I’m not sure what’s going on yet in this first episode, so I will just try my best to recap what happens. First impression: that’s a weird title. Will it be explained later on? EPISODE 1 RECAP A female agent, Guan Xue (Yang Mi), is on aContinue Reading
‘You Are My Glory’: Ep. 11 – 15 Recap — Oranges and Rejections
We finally find out why this drama includes a secondary couple who are Yutu’s friends. At first, they seem to just be there for unnecessary drama, but there is a point. Also, the annoying professor from last time makes up for his behaviour well in these episodes. EPISODES 11 –Continue Reading
‘You Are My Glory’: Ep. 6 – 10 Recap — Bad Singing and Space Trouble
Friendship is in the air. EPISODES 6 – 10 RECAPS Jingjing and Yutu are not besties yet but they are very much on the way to be. Good, being best friends first is a great foundation for a romance. They text back and forth, he brings her food with theContinue Reading
