Underrated Gems Worth Checking Out

Genre: Historical, War, Action, Adventure, Drama
Type: Movie (2 hrs, 10 min)

One of those classic war adventure stories with a small group of warriors defending the country (and in this case also the king). It was overall very solid and high quality. Beautiful cinematography, acting, fight scenes, and quite some emotional moments too! Definitely worth a watch if you like historical war/action/adventure!

Genres: Mystery, Thriller, Sci-Fi, Youth
Type: Full Length Drama (8 hrs)

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.

Full review by me

Genre: Historical, Romance, Wuxia, Action
Type: Short Length Series (8hrs)

Interesting and refreshing wuxia thriller with double identities, a smitten babygirl ML, a badass and competent FL, and compelling interpersonal character dynamics.

Genre: Historical, Wuxia, Drama
Type: Short film (37 min)

A short but well-crafted film with atypical MCs that have a rough but ultimately very intimate bromance. Overall a lovely experience, leaving one wanting more.

Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Drama, Supernatural
Type: Drama (3.5 hrs)

Unsettling supernatural miniseries with a unique flavor of weirdness that held a lot of charm.

Genres: Thriller, Mystery, Drama, Supernatural, Dark Fantasy, Psychological, Suspense
Type: Movie (1hr, 50 min)

Definitely a confusing watch but also a stunning one! Definitely requires a bit of 'taking it for what it is' and not thinking about the plot *too* much but it's gotta be of the most whimsical, magical and beautiful looking films I've ever seen. What good art direction can do. 

Genre: Romance, Historical, Political
Type: Vertical Drama (2 hrs)

Surprisingly good for a vertical drama with coherent plots, compelling arcs, well-written leads, and even villains with depth!

Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Crime, Drama, Youth, Suspense, Investigation, Revenge
Type: Miniseries (5 hrs)

A bittersweet slowburn and very poetic mystery/thriller focused on generational trauma. The story itself was fairly solid but not without issues. Beautiful cinematography and art direction as well as compelling characters and dynamics. Overall, a touching story and a lovely watch. 

Genres: Action, Historical, Romance
Type: Short Length Series (54 min)

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