    A perfect blend of action, romance, and intrigue! Every aspect of this drama is incredible - it has a tightly knit storyline with no slow/filler plot points, with amazing chemistry and acting all around.

    Amazing storytelling that portrayed a wide range of emotions throughout life! The dialogue was extremely well written and clever, had me giggling so many times. The passage of time was also quite natural and didn't feel forced or full of gaps. Really really loved this one!

  • Alchemy of Souls

    3. Alchemy of Souls

    Korean Drama - 2022, 20 episodes

    What an incredible well-rounded drama! Magical martial arts, secret identities, conspiracies, friendships, reluctant bromance, and a non-toxic love polygon... with a fairly tight plot, beautiful cinematography/OST, and lots of rewatchable scenes both humorous and jaw-dropping. This was a masterpiece of a Part 1!

    OMG THAT WAS SO SATISFYING from start to end! No dull moments, leads who were hot af, and a plot with lots of detail and satisfying/realistic resolutions. Loved the master-apprentice shenanigans (the last bit at the end was a nice touch), loved the prickly but protective ML and the strong-willed FL, and all the side characters were great too. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DRAMA!
