My Unicorn Girl (穿盔甲的少女) is one of those dramas that you will watch if there is nothing else that catches your attention. It is a simple college romance drama. I believe some would find it incredibly cheesy with a story full of cliches while others would think it is sweet.

Love And Redemption Review
With so many good C-dramas lately, I think Love And Redemption (琉璃美人熬) seems to have escaped the attention of many international audience.

It is one of the better dramas for 2020 in my books although flaws are also evident. I … [Read more...] about Love And Redemption Review
