Completed in 2024

The comments for each show are spoiler free.
-
101. Endless Eighteen
Chinese Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Fun, light, entertaining short school drama about friendship/bromance.
-
102. White Fox Prince, Please Behave
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
Could've been a decent short series except the latter part felt a bit choppy and ending felt rushed. Still somewhat enjoyable.
-
103. Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
Good mix of mystery, humor, and action. Fans of season 1 would enjoy this season, too. 9.25/10
-
104. Dashing Youth
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
Meh. Total fan service type show with tons of characters and lots of pointless random scenes. Does not feel like a coherent story, with latter half particularly weaker. Saving grace is there were some cool scenes at beginning and some nice characters. 6.75/10
-
105. Love’s Rebellion
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
Overall just ok. Beginning was very enjoyable with great use of humor, and story was interesting. Latter half was not as gripping and seemed to just coast along. 7.75/10
-
106. Article 20
Chinese Movie - 2024
Eh, one of those typical movies about some injustice and then it ends with telling you how the government have enacted new laws to address it. Didn't have good pull and things seemed to just happen. Acting was fine though.
-
107. Meet You at the Blossom
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Such a bad show in every way - amateurish production, horrible acting, poorly written dialogue, action scenes choreographed by a 5 year old, story that didn't make you care, bad pacing, ...ugh, waste of time.
-
108. Her Fantastic Adventures
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
Eh. Beginning was ok, middle was so drawn out, ending episodes were great and wished the rest of the show had the same pacing and tone as ep33-36.
-
109. Boku Dake ga 17-sai no Sekai de
Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Well made and pulls you in from the start! 8.75/10
-
110. Cosmetic Playlover
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
BORING. No pull. Way too much work stuff. Didn't care for either main character. Forced myself to finish.
-
111. Takara no Vidro
Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Overall, an enjoyable show. Light and easy-to-watch. Almost slice-of-life-like type of show. 8.75/10
(Note: there's an extra/special episode.)
-
112. Scent of Time
Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
So good. Great character and relationship focused type of show. Very well made. Highly recommend.
-
113. The Unexpected Marriage
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
The beginning was great fun, and for me the first half was really enjoyable. There is some palace politics, which I'm personally not a fan of, so if you like palace politics, you might like the show more than me.
-
114. Hidamari ga Kikoeru
Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Well made, with great pull by the character dynamic between the two main leads. 8.75/10
-
115. An Arrow through the Heart
Chinese Movie - 2024
Watchable. Straightforward, simple story. There was nothing really bad, but also nothing really spectacular about it.
-
116. Kimi to Yukite Saku: Shinsengumi Seishunroku
Japanese Drama - 2024, 20 episodes
So bad and so cringey. Acting was over the top. Story was boring. Fight scenes were so lame. Do not recommend.
-
117. Hitochigai kara Hajimaru Koi mo Aru
Japanese Drama - 2024, 29 episodes
Love the premise of this show!! Well made and super focused (due to it being a short series). 8.75/10
-
118. The Hidden Fox
Chinese Movie - 2022
Good action movie. Well made. Very enjoyable to watch!
-
119. The Wild Blade of Strangers
Chinese Movie - 2024
Nice straightforward action movie.
-
120. Happy of the End
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
This wasn't horrible, but it just didn't feel complete or satisfying.
-
121. Dark Night and Dawn
Chinese Drama - 2024, 38 episodes
Highly recommend. Great all around show. The story and characters pull you in and make you wanting more. Even for someone like me who doesn't like Republican shows, this one is done in a way such that the politics was not heavy handed and you can enjoy the intrigue and mysteries on their own.
-
122. Fall in Love with a Fox
Chinese Drama - 2024, 29 episodes
Meh. Didn't have good pull for me and gave off the vibe of a cheaply/amateurly made production.
-
123. Jia You Ba Shao Nian
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
So good!!!!! Great bromance/friendship-type of show, with lots of great moments. Highly recommend.
-
124. You Are My Lover Friend
Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes
Didn't have good pull, and story didn't flow well. Too much focus on work stuff. Loved Wu Junting's character though. Would not recommend unless you're a fan of one of the actors.
-
125. Successor
Chinese Movie - 2024
Very entertaining family comedy with lots of funny moments. Would definitely recommend.
-
126. Hero Is Back
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Decent action adventure type show. Especially loved the beginning arc and the world building.
-
127. The Strange Princess
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Light and humorous short series with body swapping. Has good creative and original ideas. Enjoyable and worth watching.
-
128. Onmyoji 0
Japanese Movie - 2024
Just alright. Watchable though parts of it felt disjointed and didn't have great pull.
-
129. Embracing the Stars Together
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
Entertaining youth/school drama with fresh ideas. Light for the most part though latter episodes got a bit more serious. 8.75/10
-
130. Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san
Japanese Movie - 2024
Not very engaging. Slow and forgettable. Not much happened. No real development. Too much "tell" and not enough "show."
-
131. Play!: Katsu Toka Makeru Toka wa, Dodemo Yokute
Japanese Movie - 2024
Had some good friendship moments and a few funny scenes, but mostly seemed like a slow, bland, and forgettable promo for the video game Rocket League.
-
132. 18×2 Beyond Youthful Days
Japanese Movie - 2024
Somber, slow slice-of-life type of movie. Predictable. Not horrible, but not sure if worth a watch.
-
133. Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds
Chinese Drama - 2024, 22 episodes
Alright show. Good acting, but technical production seemed low budget (lot of scenes with no bgm, voice recordings sounded weird).
-
134. Sugar Dog Life
Japanese Drama - 2024, 9 episodes
Ok. Very easy to watch. Angst free.
-
135. Fangs of Fortune
Chinese Drama - 2024, 34 episodes
Visuals were great, as expected, but they overdid/repeated a ton of story devices that made it annoying to enjoy the show; lost interest in the characters and story.
-
136. Youth Water Polo
Chinese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
So boring. Most of the cast had no screen presence. Story was not interesting. Didn't flow well. Do not recommend.
-
137. Smells Like Green Spirit
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Totally not what I expected, but overall the show was very well done and enjoyable.
