I started The Lady In Butcher's House (玉面桃花总相逢) with zero expectations. I was actually apprehensive to give this a go as it looks like a typical rom-com and it is quite long with 36 episodes in total.

But it does evoke … [Read more...] about Royal Feast Review
The Autumn Ballad Review
The Autumn Ballad (嫣语赋) is a historical Chinese drama with a very strong female lead. It should resonate with those who are into women empowerment and a blazing fighting spirit to chart one's own path in life. While the story's foundation is pretty solid, the drama still fails to live up to its potential. The reason is obvious once you reach the last quarter of the drama.
