    Pretty enjoyable short series with good comedy for a majority of the show.

  • Black Knight

    203. Black Knight

    Korean Drama - 2023, 6 episodes

    8.5

    Good post-apocalyptic scifi.  Simple and ending seemed a bit rushed.

  • My Powerful Girl

    204. My Powerful Girl

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    8.0

    Decent short series.  Great first half in terms of comedy, pacing, and action.  Second half seemed slower.

  • Warm on a Cold Night

    205. Warm on a Cold Night

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes

    8.0

    First 16 episodes were great, with a nice mix of action, humor, and intrigue.  Then it kind of slowed down.  Overall, just ok.

  • Mysterious Lotus Casebook

    206. Mysterious Lotus Casebook

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes

    9.5

    Highly recommend.  Great action, pacing, humor, and intrigue.

  • Mysterious Lotus Casebook: Special Episode

    207. Mysterious Lotus Casebook: Special Episode

    Chinese Special - 2023, 1 episode

    Epilogue to the main show.  (Too short to rate.)

  • Stay by My Side

    208. Stay by My Side

    Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    6.0

    Very meh.  Light, but nothing outstanding. Acting was bad. Cringe.

  • Bokura no Azatoi Asa Gohan

    209. Bokura no Azatoi Asa Gohan

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 17 episodes

    8.0

    Ok slice-of-life type show.  Episodes are different in tone because of different directors. Ep17 seems like a special episode.

  • Stand by Me

    210. Stand by Me

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 20 episodes

    9.0

    Enjoyable short series, with nice funny/light moments, despite the low budget production.

  • You Are Desire

    211. You Are Desire

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes

    6.5

    What a disappointment.  The beginning was good, then it became a different type of show, almost like writers didn't know where they wanted to go.  Latter part was kinda boring, and show had no real ending.

  • The Trust

    212. The Trust

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes

    8.5

    Ok show.  Had funny and charming moments despite slow start.

  • Extremely Perilous Love

    213. Extremely Perilous Love

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    6.5

    Meh. Too much plot armor. Lot of things were repetitive. Nothing special.

  • I Picked up a Boyfriend on the Side of the Road

    214. I Picked up a Boyfriend on the Side of the Road

    Chinese Special - 2022, 5 episodes

    Did not rate because this is not a "real" show -- it's basically a string of scenarios to advertise a jacket.

  • Side Story of Fox Volant

    215. Side Story of Fox Volant

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes

    10

    Highly recommend. Great pacing, action packed, well made.

  • Butterflied Lover

    216. Butterflied Lover

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 22 episodes

    6.5

    Very basic.  Beginning was good, the story concept was interesting, but then it got extremely slow with not much going on.

  • An Ancient Love Song

    217. An Ancient Love Song

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 14 episodes

    8.5

    Well made show with interesting time travel concept.

  • My Annoying Roommate

    218. My Annoying Roommate

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.5

    Simple, straightforward, light, comedic youth drama. Humor was great.

  • Miss Puff

    219. Miss Puff

    Chinese Movie - 2018

    6.0

    A very bland and not well developed movie. Chen Zhe Yuan's character was fun though.

  • Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2

    220. Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    9.0

    Beginning and ending was great; middle was ok. I preferred season 1 though this show was still an enjoyable watch.

  • I Am Nobody

    221. I Am Nobody

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 27 episodes

    10

    Great from beginning to end.  Exciting.  Fun.  Funny.  Feels like a live action version of an anime.  Highly recommend.

  • Hidden Love

    222. Hidden Love

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes

    7.5

    Meh.  Slow, with not much going on. Unlikable things/conflicts introduced and then brushed aside with no real conclusion. Chen Zhe Yuan's character and performance was great though; other than that, nothing special.

  • Exclusive Fairytale

    223. Exclusive Fairytale

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    9.5

    Very good show.  Would've been even better if they didn't spend so much time on 2nd couple towards the latter episodes; could've been a nice tight 18-20 episode show.  But still, very enjoyable and would recommend.

  • Back to Seventeen

    224. Back to Seventeen

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes

    9.5

    Enjoyable and well made short series.  Loved that it mostly focused on main couple (i.e., no side couples or side plots).

  • Saraba, Yoki Hi

    225. Saraba, Yoki Hi

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.0

    Ok overall.  Tackled a ton of different issues and was very well made but there was nothing really outstanding.  #SuzukiJin

  • Taikan Yoho

    226. Taikan Yoho

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.5

    Simple, enjoyable show about a relationship.

  • Mashin Sentai Kiramager The Movie: Bee-Bop Dream

    Um...I don't think I'm the target audience for these types of shows.  Lol.  (Did not rate.) #KomiyaRio

  • My Journey to You

    228. My Journey to You

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    7.0

    Mixed feelings.  The visuals were great and I liked the story concept, but not too keen on the execution.  Vibe was too slow, and felt like at times too much was revealed and other times too much was unfairly hidden from us.

  • Kyouso no Musume

    229. Kyouso no Musume

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 7 episodes

    7.0

    Alright.  Nothing special.  Some plot holes made me shake my head, alright otherwise.

  • Hu Tong: Chapter 3

    230. Hu Tong: Chapter 3

    Chinese Special - 2022, 9 episodes

    6.0

    I only watched this for Lin Yi.  I do not recommend unless you are watching for a specific actor or you like these types of shows.  The dialogue was poorly written.  The situations, conflicts, and resolutions felt very contrived; nothing felt natural.

  • By the Time the Flowers Bloom, We

    231. By the Time the Flowers Bloom, We

    Japanese Movie - 2021

    8.0

    Ok. Well made though nothing outstanding.

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes

    7.5

    Alright short series.  Nothing special though.

  • To the Beautiful You

    233. To the Beautiful You

    Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes

    7.5

    Overall ok show.  The main couple and 2ML were enjoyable to watch.  Too much time on irrelevant side characters though, and why do bad guys always get so easily forgiven?  lol

  • Growing Pain Season 2

    234. Growing Pain Season 2

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 40 episodes

    8.0

    Ok show.  It is much darker in tone and more serious than season 1.  S1 was more enjoyable to watch.

  • Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo

    235. Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 5 episodes

    10

    Adorable, light show.  Both ML characters are great. Great show all around. Loved it.

  • Wrong Carriage, Right Groom

    236. Wrong Carriage, Right Groom

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    8.0

    Ok.  Well made for the most part though some parts seemed slow and ending seemed drawn out.  All of the couples were good to watch.

  • Kimi ni wa Todokanai.

    237. Kimi ni wa Todokanai.

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    9.0

    Light show.  Good overall.

  • Born in 1990

    238. Born in 1990

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    Simple and straightforward low budget, short form school drama.  Ok and easy to watch, though really nothing outstanding.

  • Aki wa Haru to Gohan wo Tabetai

    239. Aki wa Haru to Gohan wo Tabetai

    Japanese Movie - 2023

    9.5

    Light, funny, heartwarming, and easy-to-watch slice of life with lots of food!

  • No Rain for Us Today

    240. No Rain for Us Today

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    9.0

    An enjoyable low budget school drama with good vibes and well told story.

  • Legend of Great Ming

    241. Legend of Great Ming

    Chinese Movie - 2018

    6.0

    Uninteresting and very forgettable low budget movie.  Do not recommend.

  • Otonari ni Ginga

    242. Otonari ni Ginga

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 32 episodes

    9.0

    Sweet, wholesome, heartwarming, and enjoyable.  The sibling dynamics were a joy to watch. Romance and funny moments were so well done.

  • Touching Gold Captain

    243. Touching Gold Captain

    Chinese Movie - 2022

    7.0

    Exciting start and good for people who like watching tomb raiding type shows.  Otherwise, nothing really outstanding.

  • Ikemen Seven Days

    244. Ikemen Seven Days

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 7 episodes

    8.5

    Very interesting story concept, would love to see this idea developed as a full size show.  Light and easy-to-watch short series.

  • Soredemo Yappari Suki dakara

    245. Soredemo Yappari Suki dakara

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 4 episodes

    5.0

    Seems like this was made as a school project. Pointless.  Waste of time.  Do not recommend.

  • The Immortal Stone of Nirvana

    246. The Immortal Stone of Nirvana

    Chinese Movie - 2020

    6.0

    SO BORING.  And predictable.  Do not recommend.

  • The Legend of Condor Heroes: The Cadaverous Claw
    6.0

    Packed too much in.  Would've been better as a series to have more of an emotional impact.  Kept showing events out of sequence.  Do not recommend.

  • You Will Be Famous

    248. You Will Be Famous

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    6.0

    Super low budget string of random events that have the exact same story structure - FL gets bullied, ML (or some rich person) comes to save the day.  Not worth watching unless you're a fan of one of the actors.

  • One Room Angel

    249. One Room Angel

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes

    9.0

    Well made.  Not a light show (has serious/dark subject matter) but the funny moments were great.

  • Judge Bao: Academy Intrigue

    250. Judge Bao: Academy Intrigue

    Chinese Movie - 2023

    8.0

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    9.0

    Well made and enjoyable episodic detective show.

  • Nothing But You

    252. Nothing But You

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 38 episodes

    9.0

    The journey and relationship of the ML and FL are so well done and enjoyable to watch!  Good mix of romance, humor, and sports.

  • Aoki Vuanpaia no Nayami

    253. Aoki Vuanpaia no Nayami

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 8 episodes

    7.5

    It's a very well done show, but aside from the vampire setup, it's just a typical slice of life type show with life lessons along the way... nothing really noteworthy.

  • Dancing Green

    254. Dancing Green

    Chinese Movie - 2023

    8.0

    Well made movie.  Acting was great.  You're uncertain how things will go, all the way up until the end. #ZhangYouHao

  • Neechan no Koibito

    255. Neechan no Koibito

    Japanese Drama - 2020, 9 episodes

    Well made show.  The family parts (FL with her brothers) were particularly heartwarming and enjoyable to watch.

  • Neverland

    256. Neverland

    Chinese Movie - 2023

    7.5

    Alright.  Acting was good, but otherwise nothing noteworthy.

  • Coffee or Tea?

    257. Coffee or Tea?

    Chinese Movie - 2020

    Decent feel good comedy.

  • Brotherhood of Blades

    258. Brotherhood of Blades

    Chinese Movie - 2014

    8.0

    Ok movie.  Lot of action, but kind of predictable.

  • Gifted Season 2

    259. Gifted Season 2

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.5

    Good, but season 1's episodic format was better at showing the main leads working togther.  Season 2 seemed like a movie.

  • Egg and Stone

    260. Egg and Stone

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    9.5

    Good, light, and funny.  Actually keeps the comedy going throughout most of the show!  Loved the humor!!

  • My Deskmate

    261. My Deskmate

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes

    9.5

    A very light, fluffy, easy to watch, fun, and enjoyable show.

  • Drama Special Season 14: TV Cinema - Joseon Chefs

    262. Drama Special Season 14: TV Cinema - Joseon Chefs

    Korean Special - 2023, 1 episode

    Slice-of-life / cooking type story.  Just ok, nothing special.

  • Tong Xue Jin Tian Hen He Mu

    263. Tong Xue Jin Tian Hen He Mu

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes

    8.0

    Enjoyable friendship vibes despite the low budget and low quality production.  (Gotta suspend your disbelief for some of the situations.)

  • Hilarious Family

    264. Hilarious Family

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    9.5

    Very funny and entertaining!!  Lots of laugh out loud moments.  Highly recommend.

  • A Journey to Love

    265. A Journey to Love

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes

    5.0

    The humor was great, as well as the storylines for two of the side characters.  Everything else was very inconsistent.  Didn't buy the main romance at all.  Roughly the last 8 episodes felt like a different type of show (also felt too rushed).  Do not recommend.
