Visually absolutely breathtaking. Stellar cinematography, performances, locations and characters! Only downside is the story took a turn for the worst around the midpoint.

Once again, a visual masterpiece. So beautifully shot, 10/10 performances from everyone, interesting cases, good chemistry, good story- No complaints, really 

Genres: Action, Mystery, Fantasy
Type: Miniseries

So unique? Dark urban fantasy done right! Very interesting plot, setup, antagonist, pacing and characters (and so much whump). And those fight scenes?!? Absolutely incredible!! The only downside is the fact that it's short which does ultimately sacrifice a bit of the story but still so very worth it!

Stunning AND interesting!! Unlike any cdrama premise I've heard before. Very interesting set-up, locations and premise (futuristic scifi? Sign me up!). Interesting & flawed characters (ungodly levels of stupid tho), good pacing, good chemistry, good acting, stellar cinematography. The story did end up being somewhat underwhelming near the end, though.

I honestly have nothing bad to say. It was a simple and thoroughly heartwarming treat of a short film <33

Dystopian scifi story with spectacular filmography. Most intriguing aspect is obviously the choose-the-ending part, which was quite interesting and unlike anything I've seen before.

Genres: Comedy, Romance, Sci-Fi
Type: Short Length Series

So unique and quirky and surprisingly high quality for a minidrama! Tackles societal issues from the perspective of a man stuck in a world where the gender roles are reversed. Interesting concept, fun characters, quirky humour.

Steamy romance, quick and fast paced plot, unusual characters and dynamics, pretty shots

Somehow stumbled upon this drama by accident, but wow, what a treat! Badass male lead, thorough depiction of mental illness (for ML!!), good fight scenes, interesting plot, good supporting cast, great acting, intelligent characters, scary and intelligent villains, thrilling, good mystery... Honestly, the only thing a bit lacking where certain supporting characters.

Wow... Where to even start? Interesting leads, phenomenal performances from every single actor, side characters matter, world feels vivid and real, good theme song, unique setting (dynasty and all), quite a thorough level of realism, formidable and badass villains, high stakes, interesting drama, shippable romance, wholesome bromance, strong female characters... Like, what is there NOT to like???

Teeth-rotting adorable. It's a simple and fluffy watch while still telling an interesting story. The premise is unique enough to get you interested and the drama is cute enough to keep you staying.

Bold, interesting, and heartwarming. Once you settle into the wacky premise, the story is super tender and well executed. Good social commentary on diversity, gender roles, and labels paired with good performances and pacing!

Unlike anything I've seen before! The plot twists were so many and so refreshing! I love the initial set up and the plot twists kept making it more and more interesting! I love the story, the messages and the conclusion. Such a refreshing watch!

A heartwarming film about disability with lovely characters and dynamics. The bond between the leads and their families was the highlight. I also enjoyed how quiet the movie was, really emphasizing the deaf representation!
