I wasn't expecting much of Are You The One (柳舟记) when I saw that this is one of those stories with an amnesia plot. There are just too many of those storylines that they have gotten a little predictable. But the leads seemed like a compatible pair at a glance and I decided to jump in then. I guess my spontaneous decision was the right one because this is a rather engaging drama … [Read more...] about Are You The One Review

I was watching The Princess Royal (度华年) mainly because of the cast. Their recent dramas made me sit up and take notice of them.

I have the Follow Your Heart review below with more details if you are … [Read more...] about Follow Your Heart Review

I stumbled upon Hard To Find (难寻) on YouTube and again, the short length attracted me to give it a try. Each episode is only 20 minutes long and that kept me interested all the way to the end. Frankly, I was surprised by the quality and intensity of this short drama. This proves that you don't need big stars and a huge budget to create a great production. Essentially, it … [Read more...] about Hard To Find Review
