The Lion's Secret (赖猫的狮子倒影) seems like a pretty low-key drama as I have not seen much promotion for it. I initially thought this is a rom-com as the male protagonist is kind of a joker. But I was wrong! It has quite a bit of action with some flashbacks that have a traumatic undertone to it. The drama is not depressing or melodramatic because of that in case you are worried that … [Read more...] about The Lion’s Secret Review

Luoyang Chinese Drama Review
I was looking forward to watching Luoyang (风起洛阳) as it has been quite some time since I last saw Huang Xuan and Victoria Song in action.
