    Omg, no show won me over as quickly as this one. A cozy and heartwarming comfort watch with beautiful Kashgar scenery and culture, lovable characters (especially the grandma), and a touching healing journey centered around three girls. Laili and Farhat's love story touched me the most. Also liked how most conflicts were resolved very satisfyingly, though some characters had me ragebaited for half the drama. Should at least have an MDL rating of 8.7.

    Perfect if you want something short and emotionally fulfilling.

    This delivered peak enemies-to-lovers, and they're the only CP I’ve seen with chemistry strong enough to compete with Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui, imo

  • Story of Yanxi Palace

    4. Story of Yanxi Palace

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 70 episodes

    9.5

    Each & every woman's story was intriguing; and although Wei Yingluo's cleverness was unrealistic sometimes, I loved her schemes. Also really liked the way she navigated herself upwards in a patriarchal, oppressive system and openly criticed the Emperor's ways but about this, I could go on and on. My favorite character was definitely Empress Fuca, her story made me cry so much.

    I couldn't fully rate it a 10 out of some reasons, but it sits in the same category as the 10/10s because it does deserve more than 9.5 tbh

    This would've been a 9.5 since the plot felt a bit dragged in the beginning, but I give +0.5 points for Wang Xingyue's performance as Duke Su lol

    This could've been a 10/10 for me, but -0.5 since I don't like open endings when the story could've been wrapped up. Highly recommend tho!!

    So many unexpected twists and turns! Truly worth the watch for the story, plus it's totally my cup of tea. Loved the Ming Dynasty inspired aesthetics and the tea plantation sceneries the most

    (First 10-ish and last 4 episodes were unnecessary tho, kinda threw me off)

    More like "Romance of the Female General"... The execution was a bit disappointing (e.g. the non-existent revenge). But despite that I enjoyed the show,  so it's one of my top ones nevertheless
