  • Endless Eighteen

    101. Endless Eighteen

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    9.5

    Fun, light, entertaining short school drama about friendship/bromance.

  • White Fox Prince, Please Behave

    102. White Fox Prince, Please Behave

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes

    7.0

    Could've been a decent short series except the latter part felt a bit choppy and ending felt rushed.  Still somewhat enjoyable.

  • Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West

    103. Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes

    9.0

    Good mix of mystery, humor, and action.  Fans of season 1 would enjoy this season, too.  9.25/10

  • Dashing Youth

    104. Dashing Youth

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes

    7.0

    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

  • Love’s Rebellion

    105. Love’s Rebellion

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes

    8.0

    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

  • Article 20

    106. Article 20

    Chinese Movie - 2024

    7.0

    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.

  • Meet You at the Blossom

    107. Meet You at the Blossom

    Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    3.5

    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.

  • Her Fantastic Adventures

    108. Her Fantastic Adventures

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes

    7.0

    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.  

  • Boku Dake ga 17-sai no Sekai de

    109. Boku Dake ga 17-sai no Sekai de

    Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    9.0

    Well made and pulls you in from the start!  8.75/10

  • Cosmetic Playlover

    110. Cosmetic Playlover

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    4.0

    BORING.  No pull.  Way too much work stuff.  Didn't care for either main character.  Forced myself to finish.

  • Takara no Vidro

    111. Takara no Vidro

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

    9.0

    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.)

  • Scent of Time

    112. Scent of Time

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes

    9.5

    So good.  Great character and relationship focused type of show.  Very well made.  Highly recommend.

  • The Unexpected Marriage

    113. The Unexpected Marriage

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    7.0

    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.

  • Hidamari ga Kikoeru

    114. Hidamari ga Kikoeru

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    9.0

    Well made, with great pull by the character dynamic between the two main leads.  8.75/10

  • An Arrow through the Heart

    115. An Arrow through the Heart

    Chinese Movie - 2024

    7.0

    Watchable.  Straightforward, simple story.  There was nothing really bad, but also nothing really spectacular about it.

  • Kimi to Yukite Saku: Shinsengumi Seishunroku

    116. Kimi to Yukite Saku: Shinsengumi Seishunroku

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 20 episodes

    5.5

    So bad and so cringey.  Acting was over the top.  Story was boring.  Fight scenes were so lame. Do not recommend.

  • Hitochigai kara Hajimaru Koi mo Aru

    117. Hitochigai kara Hajimaru Koi mo Aru

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 29 episodes

    8.5

    Love the premise of this show!!  Well made and super focused (due to it being a short series).  8.75/10

  • The Hidden Fox

    118. The Hidden Fox

    Chinese Movie - 2022

    9.0

    Good action movie.  Well made.  Very enjoyable to watch!

  • The Wild Blade of Strangers

    119. The Wild Blade of Strangers

    Chinese Movie - 2024

    Nice straightforward action movie.

  • Happy of the End

    120. Happy of the End

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    6.5

    This wasn't horrible, but it just didn't feel complete or satisfying.

  • Dark Night and Dawn

    121. Dark Night and Dawn

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 38 episodes

    10

    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.

  • Fall in Love with a Fox

    122. Fall in Love with a Fox

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 29 episodes

    6.0

    Meh.  Didn't have good pull for me and gave off the vibe of a cheaply/amateurly made production.

  • Jia You Ba Shao Nian

    123. Jia You Ba Shao Nian

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    10

    So good!!!!!  Great bromance/friendship-type of show, with lots of great moments.  Highly recommend.

  • You Are My Lover Friend

    124. You Are My Lover Friend

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes

    6.5

    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.

  • Successor

    125. Successor

    Chinese Movie - 2024

    9.0

    Very entertaining family comedy with lots of funny moments.  Would definitely recommend.

  • Hero Is Back

    126. Hero Is Back

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    8.0

    Decent action adventure type show.  Especially loved the beginning arc and the world building.

  • The Strange Princess

    127. The Strange Princess

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    9.0

    Light and humorous short series with body swapping.  Has good creative and original ideas.  Enjoyable and worth watching.

  • Onmyoji 0

    128. Onmyoji 0

    Japanese Movie - 2024

    7.0

    Just alright.  Watchable though parts of it felt disjointed and didn't have great pull.

  • Embracing the Stars Together

    129. Embracing the Stars Together

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    8.5

    Entertaining youth/school drama with fresh ideas.  Light for the most part though latter episodes got a bit more serious.  8.75/10

  • Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san

    130. Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san

    Japanese Movie - 2024

    6.0

    Not very engaging.  Slow and forgettable.  Not much happened.  No real development. Too much "tell" and not enough "show."

  • Play!: Katsu Toka Makeru Toka wa, Dodemo Yokute
    6.5

    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.

  • 18×2  Beyond Youthful Days

    132. 18×2 Beyond Youthful Days

    Japanese Movie - 2024

    6.5

    Somber, slow slice-of-life type of movie. Predictable. Not horrible, but not sure if worth a watch.

  • Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds

    133. Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 22 episodes

    7.5

    Alright show.  Good acting, but technical production seemed low budget (lot of scenes with no bgm, voice recordings sounded weird).

  • Sugar Dog Life

    134. Sugar Dog Life

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 9 episodes

    8.0

    Ok.  Very easy to watch.  Angst free.

  • Fangs of Fortune

    135. Fangs of Fortune

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 34 episodes

    6.5

    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.

  • Youth Water Polo

    136. Youth Water Polo

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    6.0

    So boring.  Most of the cast had no screen presence.  Story was not interesting.  Didn't flow well.  Do not recommend.

  • Smells Like Green Spirit

    137. Smells Like Green Spirit

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    9.0

    Totally not what I expected, but overall the show was very well done and enjoyable.

  • Smile Code

    138. Smile Code

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 34 episodes

    8.0

    Overall, an ok show.  I liked the romance between the male and female leads, but that was it.... I didn't care for the side characters/stories at all.

  • The Promise of Growing Up Together

    139. The Promise of Growing Up Together

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    9.0

    Great school/youth drama (with caveat....).  Green flag ML .  ML + FL fluffy scenes are enjoyable.  The caveat is that the last few episodes feel like a different show and I advise skipping them; my rating ignores the end of ep19 onwards.  The show up to ep19 27:15 is a 9.25/10 and super enjoyable to watch for anyone who loves school/youth dramas; but including the ending episodes, my rating would be 6.5/10.

  • Spring Love Letter

    140. Spring Love Letter

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 20 episodes

    5.5

    Waste of time.  Do not recommend.  Felt like it could be an extended commercial for something.

  • Blue Canvas of Youthful Days

    141. Blue Canvas of Youthful Days

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    7.0

    Very plain, predictable, and not memorable.  Will forget this in a week.

  • Pretty Boy

    142. Pretty Boy

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    7.5

    First half was good with great humor and fun stuff.  Loved the story, and the relationships and development of the side characters.  But pacing in latter half was so uneven.

  • When We Meet Again

    143. When We Meet Again

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes

    6.5

    Very simple, predictable, ordinary.  Nothing special about it.

  • Popeyete & Cute Master

    144. Popeyete & Cute Master

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 20 episodes

    8.0

    Ok show, but the silly humor was great and made the show entertaining.

  • The Unbreakable Bond

    145. The Unbreakable Bond

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes

    7.0

    Alright show.  Some parts, especially towards the end, felt rushed.

  • White Cat Legend

    146. White Cat Legend

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes

    8.5

    Good show overall, with interesting story and cases that fit together.

  • A Writer's Odyssey

    147. A Writer's Odyssey

    Chinese Movie - 2021

    8.5

    Enjoyable and well made Hollywood-like action fantasy.

  • This Hero Is a Bit Timid

    148. This Hero Is a Bit Timid

    Chinese Movie - 2024

    6.0

    Absolutely nothing special about this movie.  Also not as funny as the name might make it seem.  Tries to do too much, some parts make you scratch your head... very forgettable.

  • I Want to Return This Youth

    149. I Want to Return This Youth

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 30 episodes

    9.0

    Amusing/funny situations that take place in school.  Fun show.  Well acted.  9.25/10
