My Track
I am new to this drama world so I am trying to keep some sense of what I am watching. It's a good place to take notes in one place for now, will eventually take it to my own site.
actually turned out to be not a very good place, shows go missing or merged into another one. fsake.

201. Go up against the Immortal
Chinese Drama - 2025, 25 episodes
205) Mini. Similiar set up to be yourself 2025. only instead of a god he is a poor lad rising up through the ranks to become powerful. first of all it looks gorgeous. skimpy outfits for the ladies. but it has a weird cringe vibe that i have to take breaks in the middle of 10-minute episodes. in fairness they do cover a lot during each episode so each one really feels like 5 episode of a micro stitched together.
Every episode of him going in getting his arse kicked, someone powers him and he defeats them or runs. That young evil lad caught the hound spirit and put a carpet of spikes for him to crawl over and the stupid thing actually did it. Anyway, goddess came back and gave him 3-demon-slayer-sword and he killed the main demon.
Then Heavenly Dao appeared and made him master of the world. But he asked for everyone who died to be back and everyone to live well. The he agreed bu on condition that he will disappear completely and everyone else will forget him. But he wakes up and at his home and his mother now has a daughter. He goes away. Suddenly our 3 ladies appear and they remember him. Turns out they also got merit for saving the world so they made a request to bring him back and that they would remember him.
I can't hate on it too much as target audience is probably for very very young teens. gave it 8.5 initially but yeah i'll boost it to 9 because i didn't skip it and it is an eye candy of a show.
-
202. Be with You
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
206) started well. very funny and very mellow.
-
203. The Journey of Legend
Chinese Drama - 2025, 40 episodes
207) insanely good. cast is essentially who is who from recent dramas i've seen. prince duan ... of course, just easier to read the cast. some girls got older i didn't recognize them straight away. Anyway very much MLK style with a lad transmigrating into a novel which he was supposed to write. so has some missions and system control ai avatar. anyway i binged the hell out of it and caught up to the aired part.
Anyway 2nd brother, was subverted by traitor editor who also entered the system and became ubervillain guy. His end was weak. Sister was also crazy yan's sister. Not sure if 2nd brother consumated or not but yeah weird twist. The main guy went away quietly during celebrations of vicory at northern pass. A few good characters died. Weird thing that yeah the 2nd brother was subverted but how did he know the plot so well and prep work was done very well. So, yeah ending was weak. He is still on life support machine and some peeps telling him that the editor didn't manage to sell state secrets.
Overall fucking who is who of best actors again, good show
-
204. The Time of Rebirth
Chinese Drama - 2025, 23 episodes
208) Mini. very good. some weird groundhog day for a lad. He is obsessed with killing the main boss but seems to hover around a lot in one place. Then he goes on some missions to level up. in any case good show overall. In the end he gives all his power to the demon king to overload him. The ending it a tad unclear. One of ML's allies turns up and says his cauldron sensed demon king's energy in the sect and came to investigate. A rip in space appears and our man, dressed as demon king is getting through it and says it took him 100K years to escape void realm. the end. overall well done but yeah ending is not great.
-
205. Kill Bok Soon
Korean Movie - 2023
209) korean movie. just got caught by accident really. aging female assassin doing her thing. honestly jezuz felt like a backdrop to her daughter who likes girls and another girl who is into liking girls dying to help her out to avoid some dad killing his son. eh, about being true to yourself. alright.
-
206. A Shop for Killers
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
210) korean modern. well it was alright. essentially a day in a life of a girl whose arms-dealing uncle died. majority of the story was presented as flashbacks. those flashbacks were pretty good. dark grtitty too many coincidences. in the end her uncle isn't dead so i guess s2 will be there soon. haven't been in proper mood for a long time to watch action films but the premise & the girl's reactions were alright. fuck it's definitely a 9.
-
207. Pretty Crazy
Korean Movie - 2025
211) Korean Movie. Modern. It was alright. same girl as in bon appetite your majesty. She played a demon possessing a body of some family's girl for a long time. She pretended to be a demon but she was a stray spirit of a girl who was unjustly killed and later her ashes were dug up by someone. Yeah, anyway the lad spent lots of time with her and eventually they kind of had a relationship going on. Eventually he went off to find her jar and before she would disappear without a trace he found it and helped her return. The host went off to france to study cousine and when she came back it turned out at least one of his dates with the "demon" was partially with her because she didn't fell asleep. It was nice for the demon to see the father of the host as her own. And the host on her return remembered that date and rang our man as well.
It's alright.
-
208. Gemini
Chinese Drama - 2025, 28 episodes
212) Mini. 2ML from SOKP is in it Few other familiar faces. It was an easy enough binge up to E17, but with 9 episodes to go there's bound to be separation and misunderstandings.
Anyway, kicked off with a princess jumping off the balcony turned out she is married to a prince who is having a fling with her cousin. Prince is planning to rebel and want's to take over her family assets. She has pretty complicated family background as well and her Aunt & Father are having a fling. Her cousin poisoned her and made her blnd. Whole family is in on it (previously they killed her mother as well). Xuntian sect is emperor's secret police. The master is a some grl who tried to get close to FL and cured her blindness but got killled. So in E5 her "brother" was trying to bring back her soul. As he was doing it princess was jumping off the balcony and her soul entered the princess. That girl's brother started following princess and they brought down the prince. In e17 turns out the prince was working for someone else and his boss turns up. If to stop here and as far as her revenge goes it's a happy end.
Almost thought that he was falling for that blackmailing attempt.
Luckily it turned out that he told her and then they went to the emperor who told them that his father wasn't a traitor.
So, them giving the map to the 9th prince was a ruse. Also, it turned out that his sister died because to bring a letter from Quin place.
ML got stabbed in the process and became comatose.
Happy 2 episodes with a view to S2. -
209. Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants
Chinese Movie - 2025
213) Movie. Well finally got around to it. Adaption of Legend of Condor Heroes 1. yeah it felt like i'm watching it on 3ple speed. Xiao Zhan (Guo Jing), Sabrina Zhuang (Huang Rong) & Zhang Wen Xin (Mongolian princess Hua Jun) were alright. Very gritty looking thing and if I knew nothing about the story i would've been seriously confused.
Looks like it's Zhang Wen Xin's first entry, at 28, not bad at all.
-
210. Threads of Destiny
Chinese Drama - 2025, 26 episodes
214) Mini. The theme is interesting same girl as in Gemini playing somewhat similar role. Kicks of with one sister being divorced and kicked out. Then the other kills her because she believes that their fortunes contradict each other. accidentally she gets killed in the fire. Both of them are reborn on their wedding day. And she decides to swap grooms. Both were in unhappy marriages but FL succeeded in getting one guy successful and on her second round she also won her battles. There were a few good stories, the prince pretends to be a playboy but has some plots on the side. Eventually, the bad sister got pregnant but she is still with the husband so maybe she'll get him to settle down too. Yeah, that FL's exhusband is into S&M and some ideas not matching like really not matching his looks, station and abilities.Turns out white lotus stole jade pendant from FL. That FL was given to her by ML when they were kids (she saved him at the time). By E13 CP is getting alright, but now a prince is taking interest in her.
Anyway, because of some scheming, they get killed by prince jing and... the 3 of them get reborn. Only in last episode we know that the bad sister, confessed to FL and it's part of their plan. Every on was great. Already watched a few episodes again.
-
211. Study Group
Korean Drama - 2025, 10 episodes
215) Modern. Korean. Highschool a bit over the top in some bits. A lad who is physically tops shit at studying. So he sets up a study group takes on bullies and super connected bully who is like the king of the school. His dad is politician and some connection to gangsters. Best scene of course has to be the crazy girl's speech to attack backup fighters. (good description in e06 when. he describes her in e06 "choi hee won who is shy but odd at times" and the frame she is going all psycho nice scene too. can't say i loved it but it was definitely alright,
-
212. The Heiress Luo Wanwan
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
216) Mini. picked up by chance. Anyway a girl marries some cop type of a guy. An arranged marriage by her father who sent her away ages ago and then brought back. she had some sort of a gang/sect going on for women down on their luck. Plot revolves around finding a list of spies in the court of whatever kingdom they are in. She pretended to be a constable to help solve the case, but they figured her out very early on. One of her girls was actually a princess of another kingdom and her father was one of the spies. Anyway, one of the constable lads married the princess but revealed to her that he figured out that she drugged him. Anyway, her father wanted her to live well and move on. Her husband ended up killing him (as planned by her father) but it seemed like the prince was plotted to rebel so 3 main people survived while the spy princess was missing. It was an alright show. I binged right through it. A very very easy watch, few good scenes too. there was a great opportunity for a lot of humor but it's a mini so it was not going to be to the level of "different princess" but it definitely same ballpark.
FL haven't seen her before but she was pretty good.The girl playing the princess was in Dual Love. Both are still young and not a lot of main roles, but whatever I like them in their roles. The girl who had the list looked extremely familiar and a massive list of appearances under her belt but I dont recall those shows. ML was support character in Guardians of Dafeng & Love;s ambition. The lad who married princess was in a few that I've seen. But her father I spent ages to figure out who where I;ve seen him. Turns out in quite a few dramas, most recent one was in the journey of legend ... he was Sancai sword character (the one who read the novel)
Cast was decent in general. Good show.
-
213. Business Proposal
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
217) Modern.Korean. Picked it up because it was popping up a lot in various quizzes so I just I'd take a look bu tit turned to be brilliant. The girl from second couple was 2FL in Mr Queen (concubine), a colleague was the "odd" girl from Study Group.
Anyway the story is 2 girl paid FL to take her place fro a blind date. The lad had to get married and he was actually president of the company where FL worked. Some misunderstandings etc, but very funny. Really the characters were amazing. Very good vibe. There are a few scenes which i'd love to re-watch again but simply don't have the time so for now I'll leave it at a 10. It didn't annoy at all. The ending for main couple was a bit lackluster and too short. Given the set up I expected something a bit bigger. but yeah not going to hold it against it.
-
214. Yummy Yummy Yummy
Chinese Drama - 2025, 32 episodes
218) Modern family went trough a gate of a mansion/museum and traveled back in time.The cast is stellar. mother is the mother of young prince from JoL2, we got minister jin, the fabulous "ice fish" and many cameos. Just on the first one looked alright but kinda started to drag a little already. I might have to wait until it will finish airing. looks great. just finished 8: brilliant,
There was practically nothing going on from 11 to 26,7? there was a lame attempt to bring in some family issues into that but honestly it was so lame it was huffing and puffing for most of it. bibi suggested it was a deeply feminist show. oh fuck me, another one affected by pareidolia. anyway 2 things that annoyed me when FL is hurting herself to forget ML and mom just goes like you are already very brave, don't hurt yourself again. i'm like fuck just slap her right there. the other one is of course yangyang is calling her father a loser etc. like does it mean that you argue and call your son a loser around his child, the child that just was just abandoned by her mother? uuu i got so little sympathy for you.
Finally it turns out that Mr Pei Pei is their ancestor and not Lin Yan. and they quickly get married. e31 is very good up until the end a fire happens and she remembers that's how the story ends and she wakes up in modern times. in e32 they are running a diner in modern days and but no one else remembers it. in the dissolved world no one remembers the Shen Family other than Lin Yan. Jicai goes back to the Yunshi manor and meets the lad who as it happened also fainted. so it's only the two of them shared the experience.
Acting is top notch by everyone. Pei Pei and princess story was excellent as well. The princess was actually amazing. real eye-candy of a show.
-
215. A Farmer's Fortune
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
219)Mini.Plot is similar to "Invincible Stepmother" even the garden looks the same. Although it wasn't an actress who traveled back in time but some food blogger/cook who was trying to recover her ancestral home from the her brother. Set up was also similar she almost sold her children and had to start a cooking business to buy the deeds back.FL was FL in "Heavenly Secrets Bureau.Her Brother was in the Last Immortal and the Love's Rebellion.
Then their father comes back, and the man is "Xiao Ning" from the Royal Upstart and then she opened a few stalls a restaurant. Schemes from her brother & mother look a bit OTT, i guess it's to show backwardness of that society but so far she dealt with it well.
Eventually another impostor came along, but with the help of the brother (who got stabbed by sister-in-law's lover) they were cleared and our man finally had to come came clean. Turned out he is some famous scholar. But as we find soon after is that he ran away from family and his father was a general. He ran away because he anted to be a scholar. Anyway the general was glad that his "grandson" wanted to follow his footsteps and become martial artist.
Eventually they were reunited and on the night crimson moon was in the sky & meteor shower they were all making wishes. She wished that people she loves wouldn't drift apart. So, when she woke up she was back in that ancestral home after the sign hit her head. Her lawer said that "ancestral rule" was falsified and she still has a claim. But she says she doesn't care anymore. But her crew is also there dressed in modern clothes and Tangbao says oh maybe you don't care about us either. So, it looks like they also traveled back there.
ML & FL were simply brilliant. 2nd time i've paid for express, ending is one of those that are as good as gets for the setup. About 90% as "Invincible Stepmom". -
216. The Tower of Whispers
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
220) Mini. Brilliant. It was recommended by nivkyb (on gemini yeah i know.)Close Mains I never saw before, a few familiar faces from the older crowd.Yeah surprising very good. FL died, reincarnated and came back before the funny turn took her family was able to deflect those issues.But she met the emperor from previous life when he was a slave and it turned out he is a royalty and the he went psycho because his mother was controlling him.but FL dies. Final end in a funny way he came back to the time before she got killed sorted out those issues for her, took an easier route to kill the other prince. Honestly the only reason why it's not a 10 is how quickly she fell for "Xiao Wu" in the next life.Like she was forced into the marriage with him in first life and he abused the hell out of her and she is like dropped a couple of gears and got all fluffy. I mean if she fell for him in her first life fine, id have no questions here it felt odd. but still a great show and a very nice happy end in their 3rd life.
checked comments apparently it's one of s&m tropes. weird i thought it was normal and something got lost in editing, fuck it, who am i to judge.
2K limit fuckit im taking it to my site.
-
217. Hidden Master
Chinese Drama - 2025, 30 episodes
221) First of all that poisonous body FL was in Moonlit Reunion. I spent ages trying to figure where did I see her. ML is some comedian and he was a cameo in JoL2 . There were parts he was alright the other parts fuck i was hoping someone kills him, really went full retard. From the rest some looked familiar but i can't place them anywhere.
Anyway, some lad got thought some techniques associated with a demon sect but he always wanted to be a "hero" but it turned out MAA hero association is ran like a business, there were a few twists and turns but in fairness the whole thing managed to keep a very light vibe about it. for alright for younger people. despite the fact some scenes were fucking cringe & i skipped a bit i'm giving it a 9.
-
218. The Hidden Fox
Chinese Movie - 2022
222) Movie. shot in very dark tones. but basically kicked off with 2 lads being set up to kill each other over a treasure map. One of the guys' son became had a tough 10 years afterwards he was invited by one of evil guy's adapted daughter (later it transpired she was a daughter of the 2nd guy who was tricked) and slowly worked up his way through the ranks. Has a "hateful 8" feel about it coincidentally he had to kill 8 evil guys.
The 2 cooperated and eventually killed off the rest of them. Their adoptive father didn't want to die for a long time. Anyway great show.
FL and another woman in the crew were very good. Their fight scene where Sang Nian trapped her in her thread web was excellent. Main lad was alright. Old fellas were great.
FL Chen Yu Si, has such a beautiful face and shape of eyes. gorgeous girl.
-
219. My Kung Fu Girlfriend
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
223) Micro. modern twist. There are 2 seasons in it but treating it as 1. Characters from a game "new doulou continent" went out into modern times after game server was shutdown. The girl is from the girl inside me is being "haunted" by one of the characters obviously they became friends. The plot of the game is still ongoing in the modern world because an artifact from modern game escaped into the world. Pound for pound it's very interesting and i don't want to skip and it's not dragging but i'd like to know how the story develops.
The girl got the job as a bodyguard for ML and then the plot is taken from there. Some interesting twists but a few scenarios feel similar to "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon".
Ending was ambiguous a little, it was kind of all a dream but the lad came back and he called the lady Bo Ye his sister so it could be the characters from the game. In fairness it was very light. I liked the interaction between leads and in general i'm very fond of Cheng Fang Tong's style.
-
220. Strong Girl Bong Soon
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
224)Modern Korean. Picked it up coz it was popping up on yt a lot. Some super strong girl becomes a bodyguard to ceo of a game company that develops her favourite game. Strong start but it kinda got darker with someone like in silence of the lambs is kidnapping women. There were plenty of side stories. Very interesting mix of cheesiness & darkness. They get together in the end and a happy end overall.
Loved the expressions like "you're a size of a peanut", etc., so endearing. don't hear it as ofthen as it should be.
Familiar faces, one of the old women is mother from ML in Highschool return of the gangster and the cop's gf is my favourite concubine from Mr Queen -Seol In Ah.
-
221. Handsome Guys
Korean Movie - 2024
225) Korean Movie. Two tough looking lads who are often stereotyped buy a house, which later turns out to be haunted.kinda turns out to be an exorcism movie. Picked it up because of some clip on yt where the girl was having fun with one of them bt onlookers thought he was going to murder her. accidents and coincidences we good. i did expect something different because of the video, but yeah pretty decent comedy overall.
-
222. Warm on a Cold Night
Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes
226) Very nice. There are a lot of cases which are pretty interesting but as a binge it's a little difficult. Li Yi Tong is insanely good. Even though she is a quite a bit older now, she does a capricious darling very well. I suppose voice actor helps as well. The lad was the crown prince in Shadow Love recently. I didn't recognize from there, his acting there was actually very mature.
Yeah the story overall, she is dependent on him to treat her sickness with her energy, he slowly grows attached to her. He wants to find his old friend who seems to be taking action against the Qian race. Strange attraction triangle with the other prince as well. Now that prince, I've seen him around a lot and I'll be very surprised if he isn't a baddie.
Even though i'm a bit pressed for time and it doesn't feel like something i'd like to binge, it is still very mellow, funny and entertaining. The death of Uncle Hu, tied in nicely into the next case. Very nice twist. There were a few other twists. The final was around poisoning of Qi people. It was pretty obvious that crown prince had something to do with it, and i kinda guess it was the Mu Yan guy. FL had the ember stolen by her father in her body.That's why she survived for that long. She was willing to extract it and die in order to cure the affected people. Our man stepped up extracted his stone and gave it to her. Great scene. in the end they get married and she has the Qi powers. Chilan became new "king". I'm incredibly weak for LYT and I'm so glad I found this. Some people in comments criticised others' acting but for the set up I honestly can't say someone was terrible. Great show.
-
223. The Starry Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
227) Picked it up because some one mentioned it in comments on "Warm on Cold Night". Gothooked. Really felt like it could be a nice binge. Nice and fluffy, quite a few jokes already. A few familiar faces but the hidden identity due to a mistake is kind of starting to drag and a tad uncomfortable. The intro shows both girls staying in their mixed up relationships. It quickly got to that point. ML fell in love with Yetan but then he had to go and fix the abyss. There was some double cross and his soul shattered into 3 shards. Yetan had to make each shard fall in love with her. She succeeded and the 3 combined into ML. And he brought her back to heaven but it looks like there's something wrong with his emotions again like an amnesia or something. Turned out he was just pretending. Sister went went back to the void and married Chenfae in prison.With the help of some lads everything got sorted out and 2 episodes of soapy stuff of everyone living as a family. Now it looks like Husui is coming in to throw a curve ball.
And she did. She stole the flower with FL2 and stabbed FL with a twig and jumped with them into the abyss to end the world. But it turned out that the two spirits ordered the chaos and everything is well. Everyone else had a happy end. The emperor suggested to plant flowers in Danci to revive spirits they do that and the spirits appear and regrow the tree. But the girls themselves didn't appear, although there's a suggestion that they will. Very good binge.
-
224. A Mission of the Heart
Chinese Drama - 2025, 20 episodes
228) Mini. Kinda looks like a different take on the Imperial Coroner and some strong (literally) woman mini as well. A tune from IC is played at similar scenes as well. There's a prolonged rivalry of 2 guys over her pretty much throughout. Fight scene choreography is pretty bad and the lads acting is not fantastic. The girl is alright. In the end ML's subordinate was the man in the mask killing off some lads. He was member of Ling family, the other family which was wiped out for silver embezzlement case (just like FL's) and it was his sister which was killed in the brothel by the muppet. Anyway I didn't hate it. Feels like the show was designed to give some extra similar stories to a few other popular shows without setting up an S2.
-
225. Fights Break Sphere 4
Chinese Movie - 2025
229) Movie. Well not sure wtf happened. The other 3 were so much better. Anyway i might have to watch previous one, but i don't recall it ending like this. Anyway they were on a trip to misty sect now but they lost their dou qi and had to go to jia nan academy with a detour at some black-market place. anyway pretty weak episode.
-
226. This Servant Is Not Simple
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
230) Micro. the main lad didn't look right for the part but there were decent attempts at parody so in fairness not too bad. interesting plot. The guy was way too old & masculine to pass as a "cold" student ... whatever. girls were good - best of luck to them.
-
227. Honey, Don't Run Away
Chinese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
231) Weird mini. just 12 pisodes. kicked off in a similar vein as Egg & Stone but then descended into crime solving theme. not bad so far, but i have a feeling that i might have to drop this.
-
228. He Kills It
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
232) mini/micro. A guy is dreaming that he became some super acupuncturist. Gets into situations with some powerful families treats everyone overcomes difficulties. All the girls are beautiful. When he wakes up all the people in his dreams were actually represented by his classmates. An all right show. Judging by everyone's outfits should've been obvious it's a dream. Alright.
-
229. Dominator of Martial Gods
Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
233) Very easy binge. Filming is all done in some shed with green screen. Story is set in a magical world similar Magic Star and FBS, story is very simple as well. In another magic some cultivator gets killed and ends up in a body of another lad. Mom is a shunned person, he came right in time i suppose. Cultivation, competitions. King's brother plotted to usurp the throne. Overall pretty light watch. Yeah graphics were not very expensive but it's alright, the plot held up OK. Ending was funny, it's like with a view to S2, that female sect lead that ML stumbled on in that cultivation place arrived to the capital to capture that rascal. Lol, fair enough, very persistent. Anyway, it's grand.
yeah another thing. i thought that there were a lot of familiar faces but at cursory glance only 3 older lads could be familiar. Well I definitely saw his mom & aunt somewhere but neither seem to have been on my watch list. very strange.
who the hell is the director? not mentioned in the cast. there was a moment in e09:00:27.30 when he (obviously) won the tournament and looks at his mother. she has a feint smile then nods her head and feigns a kiss. simply amazing 2 seconds. but ost...grrr.. e11, during their conversation that frigging cello (?) was driving me insane.
-
230. Be My Cat
Chinese Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
234) Nice and fluffy kid's show. The production was not expensive but doesn't look too cheap either. Well watchable.
Tian Xi Wei aka Princess Linan. Is working as a pet shop owner. She came across a dying general in the process of being hunted by a bunch of armed lads. She accidentally cut herself on a branch a drop of blood fell on a bead which hang around her necklace while giving a kiss of life to the lad. The soul of the cat-prince from some planet which was trapped inside the bead left the bead and entered the general and they got into master/servant contract. The first half it was about the cat chasing her trying to break contract then falling love and the second half FL is being jealous and chasing him. It turned out she already saved him from the villain 10 years ago and was poisoned so she was going to die soon. His mother tried to revive her back then but they needed to get all beads. Happy End, although he spent a year in the form of a cat, while she was feeding him honey mint concoction.
It's early TXW's so she still looks like very girlish, now she is way better and was able to hon those expressions. So yes her progress is very noticeable.
-
231. Babysitter
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
235) Mini. a pospartum nurse is having a shit and gets transported into the game she's playing a character turns to tell her that. but, she cuts him off and says oh right i have to complete a mission otherwise i will disappear. the lad just yeah give me some respect i have to tell you all that. the brilliant part is she asks if there's a reward for completing a mission. the man replies "you'll never be constipated again. brilliant start. colours, costumes, etc., are absolutely gorgeous.
First few episodes a villainous consort was trying to set her up but eventually they became friends too. VC was faking a pregnancy which was eventually found out but everything was fine. White lotus was making shitload of waves as well but they were eventually defeated.
System eventually showed up while she was on a crapper again. Said her membership is up and she has to go back. She says wouldn't it be great if it wasn't a dream. She arrives at the palace in modern world and meets the second prince there. alright.
-
232. Guyuan Imperial College
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
236) Mini/micro. alright. really a good show for kids. large proportion was about camaraderie and dealing with those often seen situations. FL does have mannerisms of Wang Yu Wen.
Anyway kicks off with some people trying out jet propulsion backpack. Accidentally they startle some people traveling somewhere. The girl gets knocked out. At the same time some student fucks up an experiment and transmigrates into the body of FL. FL,daughter of a general then pretends to be a man and lives in a dorm with a few lads. So emphasis seems to be on them solving that triangle. Funny & innocent enough - including villain, emperor, fathers etc. just about nice.
-
233. Please Feel at Ease Mr. Ling
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
237) modern. brilliant. The name was popping up a lot. Great rom com, ZLS doing what she does best. Basically she knocked down some CEO on the road and brought him back eventually they start a relationship and take on different family villains. The only thing really turns out their families know each other they had to make her an illegitimate/adapted daughter of a rich family too. And given that her step-sister was in love with that guy for god knows how long and they haven't met was a bit weird. Weird child kidnapping where they met before yeah didn't fit. Product placement ads were too much.
I'm surprised that Yana Zhang didn't do much work, i thought she was very good.
But all side couples got a happy end, obviously apart from Xiner, coz the youngest brother who was one of the villains is in jail. But she promised she'll wait for him. All in all light and fluffy. very good.

234. Top Scholar, Your Wife's at It Again!
Chinese Drama - 2025, 50 episodes
238) micro vertical. similar set up to crush the village husband. unfortunately it's from youtube so the sound is simply dire. There's no cast even in wetv official intros but the ML and especially "The Princess" have gigantic eyes. If it was a different type of a show i'd suspect CGI. anyway quickly ran through it for reference.

235. Unspeakable Longing
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
239) mini-micro. Very nice show, the lad is the umbrella guy from Stick to the Script. Cartoonist drops into the show with a mission to obtain a true-love kiss. Twist is when ML is in love with her and they kiss he will die. She must complete the mission within 3 months otherwise she'll disappear. In the meantime he suspects her of trying to steal the map. Actress actually has resemblance and mannerisms to mao xi tong and theme feels very familiar. But yeah very engaging and visuals are stunning. Loved it.

236. Everbloom Dynasty
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
240) micro. 10 minute episodes but each felt like they stitched together a bunch of 2 minute ones. very convoluted weird triangles and relationships. finished it just out of morbid curiosity. It's all over the place but wouldn't know where to start to summarize. A girl comes back from the mountains, her father was poisoned on her arrival, then her sister went to marry emperor. her "medical classmate" went to the palace as maids. They ran into each other. maids die. she treats the returned prince which was empress's ex. anyway fuck it after the rebellion was put down the prince left the throne to a child prince and fucked off. bloody hell.

237. After Wearing the Book, I Spoiled the Villainous Regent
Chinese Drama - 2025, 73 episodes
241) micro. Girl traveled into a book, became a wife of a banding who is a king in exile and 3 kids came from somewhere. finished it due to morbid curiosity. also responsible for adding 8star ranking.

238. A Maid's Handbook to Success
Chinese Drama - 2025, 64 episodes
242) bizarre micro. similar setup to "the advanced manual". cant remember if they also stole some incense recipe. eh dont know how to mark this type of things at all.

239. Back to Seventeen
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
241) micro but really doesn't feel like it all. just a brilliant film. FL from please don't spoil me (Zhang Miao Yi) went to school reunion. Accidentally left her school tape recorder & tape on the table which had birthday presents for ex-class monitor, during a scuffle to get it back fell and traveled back to school days. got stuck in the loop of coming into school. similar to a korean short "girl from the future". Quickly figured out that she can leave premises when she is with ML. There were a few nice youthful crap they had to do. Eventually her body started to show signals that she doesn't belong in the world and then ML took a recording of her and she came back to her own time the day before the reunion.
When she got to reunion it looked exactly the same but the lad wasn't there so she ran off to the sea-side. Then ML turned up they kiss and the end. So yeah, the girl is awesome. Just pure ray of sunshine.

240. You from the Future
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
242) yeah fl is definitely not ZLS or WYW, her runs as a toddler was harsh to watch as well. Wasn't impressed by the lads either. Overall it was just alright. The lost brother coming back after the fire and living by himself until 30s instead of was hard to swallow as well. But a lot of it was alright. I think there was a mini with a similar feel which was way better.
it's the one about a robot in the basement.

241. Falling for Divinity
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
243) Sad mini. FL is the princess from Egg&Stone. Visually it's fantastic.
A captured general was wounded had his balls cut off and dumped in the forest. The girl finds him and brings him back to life. He wants to leave the place because although he likes her he doesn't want to burden her by absence of his missing piece. The girl chooses to become a goddess to bring him back to life. The sacrifice is that she has to forego all aspirations for mortal life. She gets to spend 7 days with him, including marrying him, guess it's wrong timing that she didn't get pregnant i suppose. He fixed her hut and eventually she led him to the edge of the village. blindfolded him and pushed out. He appeared on the other side with his memories gone that's like in E02.
Looping back to e01 how story progressed, she stabs the general while the SML stabs her. So in the end the general ends up wiping out her clan and she entangles with SML. And she really looks like she is big into him and can't believe that he'd be the one to kill her.
In the end the lad remembers her probably for the 4th time at this stage and she pushes him out into the forest and erases his memories. The lads get old, one dies, while the other stays alone. Meets & recognizes her. Obviously she's still young and beautiful.
Looks beautiful and some excellent shots as well. The middle is kind bizarre. Might skim through it again.

242. When I See Your Face
Chinese Drama - 2023, 15 episodes
244) Modern mini. About a girl with face blindness,prosopagnosia, she sees them all as a blur. Her friend wears large round black glasses. Anyway she is an exchange student (although chinese, but i guess she won the place to go back). Someone accused her of plagiarism, the whole scene was a bit OTT. anyway ML grabbed her and dragged her away.
Anyway, in the end al 3 couples reshuffled. The jealous villainous classmate entered the scene again a couple of times. She waited for him to come back from the coma. Unclear if 2nd couple the "uncle" went to yale and came back. The brother of ML and niece of 2ML stayed home and had 3 kids. so an alright ending.
Bringing the part where ML was the one to help her escape kidnapper is on a a cheap side. Funny thing would be if he just goes "great you escaped, but i got raped!... i was looking for you too" not a bad show.

243. Cunning Single Lady
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
245) modern korean. In fairness it was alright. A resentful ex-wife intentionally joined company which was started by her ex. He is a CEO and became successful after she divorced him. At first it seemed like an odd gold-digger setup. but it transpired overtime that she went through and did a lot for his success. The weird SML & SFL triangle dragged on for quite a bit and the ending felt a bit flat. but it was an entertaining watch. Obviously they got together and she is now pregnant again.
-
244. Extraordinary
Chinese Drama - 2025, 20 episodes
246) mini. similar set up to "Royal Upstart". lot's of familiar faces so far easy going. It was alright for most of it. There was way too much political bs and it finally descended into nonsense after express episodes were aired. The end was not great either, emperor banished him for killing the prince and distributing land. The princess came to follow him but then he died and came back to real world where the car crash was in progress and princess was holding onto him and calling 102 (ambulance). Princess was absolutely brilliant the lad alright. His father was PM in "Royal Upstart" overall should've waited for all episodes to release.
-
245. Love for Two Lives
Chinese Drama - 2022, 32 episodes
247) Micro. very unusual set up. Girl was dumped & lost her job. Got drunk in a bath. Wall opened up and she appeared in the palace. Anyway she had to pretend to be a queen for a bit. When she came back to emperor's bedroom it turned out her room is also in tact. So there's like a portal between the two worlds. Her ex-boss was also in that time but his portal closed. Eventually princess which wanted to be a queen (in love with our general/boss) discovered the portal. Cleaning robot wandered out and she followed them. Portal started to malfunction and Princess & General stayed in the past while emperor and FL stayed in modern world. (She didn't make it in time before portal closed because her grandmother ended up in hospital and died).
In the end he idol wang zhen came to sue her because emperor was impersonating him as the boyfriend of FL at the reunion. So kind of a view to S2 but also the way to need need them to pretend that it was just a dream and she electrocuted herself in the bath.
There were a few nice cheesy stories, with rebellion and a massive princess who had engagement, but something didn't click and wasn't as engaging as it should've been.
Not a lot of familiar faces, the maid Hong Guo'er looks extremely familiar and Empress Dowager I've seen lot's of times. The general Ren Si Qi was excellent. Doesn't look like he's getting much work though. Pity. This was FL's debut and I saw her recently in a micro "maid's guide to success".

246. Estranged Fall in Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
248) Micro. This is S1 of "Chasing Love" (which is S2) and the reason for why the ritual was started. I hope to just quickly run through it, the ending will be sad.
It turned out to be fucking brilliant. Yeah the ending is sad but the journey was excellent. Very good.
She eventually got her memories back a lot of push&pull but yeah. great.
Well ML is umbrella guy from stick to the script, smile hu is FL. Eldest Princess i saw a few times before but other than that no one felt familiar.

247. My Roommate Is a Gumiho
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
249) Modern korean. it popped up often. but i thought it will be something ridiculous. turned out pretty good. A gumiho (fox demon) had to turn human before his 1000th birthday (before he gets 10th tail). The lad thought he needed energy of others but turned out he just needed to experience what it is to be human before he turns human. if he doesn't then he'll disappear. As it transpired that for centuries now he's just running down the clock. by chance a girl swallowed his "marble". and he grew attached to her. there were a few silly stories around. another gumiho and some silly serial killer spirit featured. overall it was pretty good. i was afraid that using his last supplies of magic to save FL he turned human and immediately got knocked down by a truck. but luckily it was also part of the test. so happy end for everyone and great show overall.
there were lots of comments about clingy SML and something about wooden appearance of ML but it kinda fit. didn't hate red-thread twist because it was also a test so very happy with that.
Naksu/Mu Daek (Jung So Min) made a guest appearance and she's there like for 2 minutes/sentences in total and just awesome. FL was very good, all support was excellent as well. The other Ho was concubine Kang in Bon Appetite. A few guests, FL from "study group". Dowager from Mr Queen. Yeah even with my small sample of KDramas i already guess plenty of familiar faces.
The only thing is that they brought his initial popularity to nothing very quickly. Like first reporters were all over him and then nothing at all. Anyway, very happy with that.
-
248. Why Is He Still Single?
Chinese Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
250) Excellent. An introverted bachelor's interior designer's life is slowly changing as more and more people started to come into his life. well the lad is kind of "doctor house" really.
First time seeing the ML, he was very good. FL is (Zhu Zhu the crazy lady from DemiGods & crazy lady from MHH). She was excellent. The girl is now hitting 40s and does beautifully. I honestly prefer her now to her younger self (though obviously she was a stunner back then too). The neighbor girl is FL from Fake Princess and she was excellent too in this role. Her car-salesperson colleague was in more shows. Actually there were plenty of cameos.
The neighbor girl, Eleanor Lee, was like a catalyst to drag more people into his life as well and source of vulnerabilities to trigger his more caring side. So overall she was like the main role.
many new relationships formed, everyone changed for the better, a happy end for all and a lot of comedy throughout. and all of that without excessive nastiness. what more could one want from a romantic comedy. Minor peeve that there were a few irritating moments where he was portrayed too retarded. but overall it's a great binge.

249. Food for Lucking
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
251) mini. it was just about average throughout. the twist in the end with the sister going off to sleep with some idiot was unnecessary and crude. i suppose it was to help her give a reason to go crazy and turn on her sister. but wtf did it achieve with less than 20 minutes to go. there were some familiar faces bit not too many.
anyway the story where a family runs a small inn. FL is a daughter of general unjustly executed for stealing silver. the lads are trying to uncover the situation behind a similar case now. The villain turns out to be secret agent as well. Yeah humorous scenes and investigations were just about alright. humour was falling pretty flat all over the place. childish enough, that's why the twist with the sister's experience felt completely out of place.
-
250. Love in the Hotel
Chinese Drama - 2024, 20 episodes
252) Mini/micro. modern. Someone drops into a comic/game. The game is a super 8-star hotel for stern/quirky stereotypical cdrama CEOs. FL must complete missions, like complete with a system telling her progress. Etc. FL is from I have a smart doctor wife. Every CEO looks the same because it's too expensive for a webtoon to make them different. The twist is that each CEO actually share incomplete set of memories between each iteration. Kinda young people's humour for most of the start but the last few episodes after it transpired that he is a character she deleted from her novel and his mission is to find & delete her really turned into theatrical performance which was very good. Both were excellent. It did have the vibe of "The Girl Inside me". Plenty of twists and turns. In the end the hotel world collapsed and she woke up in the real world. Her boss says that novel was a success and the studio wants to produce a film. The guy interviewing her is our ML and it looks like he remembers her. And he says his line about her being his constant in this chaotic life and we think he remembers her. But then he adds "I really like that line" and it's uncertain if it's him or not. Yeah for censorship reason it had to be a little ambiguous.
Overall pretty good. FL did a lot of minis & micros in the last 2 years, hitting 31 and she's alright. I wish her well.

251. Moonlit Order
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
253) A family was protecting deposed prince. When the prince lost his memory general sent off his real son and kept the prince. Then t turned out the exiled lad conspired with an official to usurp the trone. NGL 3rd querater dragged a little with misunderstanding not entirely comedic.)
As a comedy it was very good. The umbrella guy from "stick to the script" was in it, FL from royal upstart. And tons of other familiar faces. Very well entertaining.
Hankiz Omar was FL and she was excellent in this role, i've seen her in legend of heroes and she was very good there too. This type of role really suits her. ML i've often. The grandmother, she was brilliant she obviously was in make up, true veteran god how many times i see her around.
yeah at first i was going to give it a 9.5 but i think it's a 10. because something broke the binge and it took me awhile to get back to it so im not taking it from the top. I'll think a little bit now. maybe i'll change my mind.

252. Hi! My Mr Right
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
254) micro. modern. about a jewelry-designer girl who fell asleep at a party and dreamt that she was given a bracelet which makes her lies come true. So the boyfriend she wished for materialized and they got into various situations. The mission was supposed to be to get them to say i love you to each other. In the end they get married say i love to each other and he disappears. She wakes up at a party. Next day she gave out to her manager for touching her and to another designer for stealing her ideas. quits job. wins some award and meets the Chu Man. It was alright but i had to skip through the middle like there's no tomorrow.
