Frankly speaking, I have been putting off watching Immortal Samsara (沉香如屑) because of the sheer length. After Love Like The Galaxy, I was hesitant to spend my time on another long-winded saga. But then again, this drama is not something you can ignore either given the cast and budget.

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. But it should slowly gain fans as xianxia dramas that feature undying love through different lifetimes always have the potential to be compelling stories. 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
