‘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

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…

‘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
