In: Unhelpful Recaps
With: 0 Comments

This drama low-key came out at a time when I didn’t pay attention, and in it are two of the best actors C-dramaland has to offer. Sneaky. EPISODE 1 RECAP Su Xiao is a career woman. In the first sneak peek into this very intense work culture, we see herContinue Reading

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

Sometimes, when you scroll and click often enough, you end up watching the strangest things in romance dramaland. Anyway, this is a duckling-turned-swan kind of drama, involving a rich, handsome male lead and a plain girl who just tries to catch a break in life. Things happen, they meet, weContinue Reading

Episode one doesn’t say much about the premise of this drama, but I’ll put out a quick recap anyway. RECAP A company is testing out their new virtual game that lets players experience real-life 3D experience when they play. Like dreamscape. When the female lead tries it out one time,Continue Reading

‘A Journey to Love’: Episode 1 Run-down — Liu Shishi is the Kind of Spy We Need

EPISODE 1 RECAP There was a war, the world burned, people died, etc, etc. The point is, the world is kind of, sort of taking a break from war now while all the players get their crap back together. Before another big conflict, I assume. Although, that doesn’t mean theseContinue Reading

‘Only for Love’: Episode 1 Run-down — We’ve Seen It Before

EPISODE 1 RECAP (and a bit of 2) Like all romance stories that want to earn the female-empowerment point, the drama begins with an unsuccessful romantic relationship for the female lead Shuyi (Bai Lu). You know, a little something she can move on from before beginning a new story, otherwise,Continue Reading

EPISODE 1 RECAP Once, there was a swordsman who managed to both look like a 15-year-old kid and be the best martial artist in the world. Everyone feared him. He was so good that once, he chased after a ship into the open sea in a small fishing boat. HeContinue Reading

In: First Impression
With: 0 Comments

This drama has many of the Dream of Splendor’s cast, and it kind of starts out like Dream of Splendor too: a female lead who is determined to be financially independent; a guy who is all secretive goes on a mission with an arrogant attitude, and the next thing heContinue Reading

EPISODE 1 RECAP The Heaven is a happy place and everyone has a job. The female lead Xiangyun (Yang Chaoyue) works in the matchmaking department which helps pair up people around the realms and helps them find their “destiny”. Kind of like Tinder but with a better filtering system; I’mContinue Reading

‘Back from the Brink’: Episode 1 Run-down — Steamed Buns, Sisu, and Ken Chang

I don’t have a lot to say about the beginning of this drama except that it looks light-hearted and some minor characters are quite entertaining. It is a romance fantasy with dragons, Taoist schools, and a female protagonist with unique powers from the start. From the first few episodes, theContinue Reading
