I didn't have a good impression of Master Of My Own (请叫我总监) from a trailer that I happened to chance upon before I started watching the very first episode. This is because I couldn't sense the chemistry between the leads. Being a romance drama, that should be a red flag. Nevertheless, the pull of watching another Seven Tan drama is too strong and I gave in. So, how did it go … [Read more...] about Master Of My Own Review

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.
