I was looking forward to another historical drama with Luo Yun Xi and Follow Your Heart (颜心记) seemed like a good one to binge on. It has a great start but the exhilaration tapers off after a while. Nevertheless, I completed it within a week although I do think 40 episodes is a tad too long for this story. I have the Follow Your Heart review below with more details if you are … [Read more...] about Follow Your Heart Review

Joy Of Life S1 Review
I have just completed the Joy Of Life S1 (庆余年) although this is an old drama from 2019. This series has such a huge following that we are now into the second season with a third on its way.
