  • Love Game in Eastern Fantasy

    1. Love Game in Eastern Fantasy

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes

    7.5

    ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

    PROS:

    • Q: How many hearts do you need? Me: YES ✨
    • Scriptwriters did their job: plot is doing what it has to do
    • Ding Yuxi and Yu Shuxi just are too damn cute for my health and their characters are SO ON POINT 
    • Every character in the Demon Catcher world is not mono-dimensional: they have personality, motives and feelings > They seem ALIVE 
    • Attention to details: especially for the Four Bamboo Masters, costumes are so perfect for them, as in the clothes resemble the person who's wearing them in terms of personality traits

    CONS:

    • Plot wise it's just the same thing going on for years in Chinese Dramaland, but at least here makes sense
    • Ending might seem a bit off or slightly disappointing: I just have a minor issue with the last few minutes, as I think it could have been better.
  • Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu After Story
    8.0

    ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

    PROS:

    •  No shame in the ways both MCs got to know, express and understand their feelings and their needs
    • The N years later for a first wasn't useless, but functional to the plot

    CONS:

    • I couldn't find any, BUT if you insist: the story ends
    • 14 mins per episode are surreal: they end far too quickly
  • Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu

    3. Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu

    ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

    PROS:

    • Q: How many hearts do you need? Me: YES ✨
    • Difficult topics addressed properly 
    • Hirukawa x Minase are one of the best couples I've ever seen in my drama watching career > Kenshin and Junsei must be protected at all costs
    •  No shame in the ways both MCs got to know, express and understand their feelings and their needs

    CONS:

    • I couldn't find any, BUT if you insist: the story ends
    • Topics mentioned throughout the story might be too much for sensitive people
    • You might get addicted (where might is just a synonym for OFC)

    PROS:
