I decided to watch A Camellia Romance (许纯纯的茶花运) while waiting for Novoland: Pearl Eclipse to complete. This is one of those filler dramas that you watch to fill your time rather than something that you would really look forward to.

Jun Jiu Ling (君九龄) is a 40-episode historical drama starring Peng Xiao Ran and Jin Han. I watched it because of the high ratings on certain sites. I know many did so because of the actress but I have not watched any of her works including the highly popular Goodbye, My Princess. With no idea of what the story is all about, I took a gamble with this one that it would be … [Read more...] about Jun Jiu Ling Review
