MARCH - Hiatus.

APRIL - 1st DRAMA of the Month. 

[Village.]

A really difficult time for me, but randomly began it on a whim. Atleast, it doesn't require me to wrack my brains too hard. 

[#4.]

[Artist + Village.]

Big mistake. But, a rather convenient one. Also began on a whim.

REWATCH.  

[Artist.]

I have all the episodes downloaded and ready. Plus, I needed a good dose of serotonin after a crazy week. 

[#6.]

Stayed away from Fantasy Xianxias for two years, but this one seems different. And I trust the actors.

Random watch again. The vibes are not what I expected, but it's adorable.

My Review. {It's a mix of jumbled thoughts. I got bored way too soon to write a proper review.}

[#10.]

After watching the convoluted mess that the latter half of Till The End of The Moon is, I decided that I needed a break and watched one of Leo Yunxi's older works.

My Review.

[#11.]

Who wouldn't want a bit of comedy after "Till The End of The Moon"? One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

My Review.

[#12.]

Okayish. 

My Review.

[#13.]

I have to say, this short film had more memorable ending than Wuliang (also by the same Director). This is how you plan and plot the finale. 

My Review.

[#14.]

Well... The good thing about this series is that I almost predicted everything that was going to happen, thanks to my complete distrust of every single character on screen.

My Review.

[#15.]

Described here: My Review.

[#16.]

Unexpected, but the first four episodes were good. [Edit: First six episodes were good.] Thanks to this one, I will probably view every other 8 episode and 15 minute/chapter drama cynically. Wasted potential and talent. 

• First Impression.
• Second Impression.
• Difficult Watch.

My Review.

[#17.]

Impulsive watch. All my thoughts are here: My Review.

[#18.]

The fate of this entire drama depends on my this post.

My Review.

[#19.]

Violent, but emotional.

JUNE - 1st Drama of the Month. 

My Review.

[#24.]

If much of the potential was lost in Kissable Lips, this one certainly made up for it.

My Review.

[#26.]

Same as that of the drama, except for some angle changes and and minute extensions (one additional scene included and another was altered). So... same review as that of the series.

[#27.]

When in doubt, try Japan.

Currently - DROPPED.

[#28.]

My crazy attempt to finish off stuff for my Watch Challenge. Pretty sure that I won't be able to make it, but I did come across quite a few interesting stuff during my search.

[#29.]

My Review.

[#30.]

I'm not hearing much buzz surrounding this one. Let's see if I can actually keep up with this or if this one too, will end up in my dropped list. 

[#31.]

My Review.

JUNE - Final Drama.

I stay away from slow dramas in general, but it looks like they and currently airing dramas are the only things I'll be capable of watching if I have to finish my watch challenge.

DROPPED. Unfortunately, I couldn't help it. 

[#34.]

JULY - 1st Drama.

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzamme was one of my first ever reads in summer of 9th Grade. So, I'm curious about this. [Completed - March, 2024.]

My Review.

[#35.]

China really needs to up their game when it comes to plot and time management. This is one of the good ones I've seen. 

My Review.

[#36.]

July - Final Drama.

DROPPED. 

Honestly, it looked like so much backstory of the leading characters were skipped to immediately plop the viewers (or me) directly into the 'canon'. I couldn't enjoy it as there seemed to be no build up/the build up happened a long time before or behind the screens.  

[#37.]

AUGUST - First Drama.

As usual, my race for finishing my 52 Week Challenge continues. Not sure about this, but the lead actor was really convincing in the first episode. 

DROPPED.

[#38.]

DROPPED.    Sad because I actually watched upto 10 episodes.

[#39.]

Sometimes I wonder why I began this in the very first place.  But the leading characters are... let's settle with the word 'interesting'.

DROPPED.  Just forgot that it existed.

[#40.}

The weirdest thing from Japan that I've seen this year. But, my 52 Week Challenge looms. 

[#41.]

AUGUST - Final Drama of The Month.

Probably the first full length historical drama I've completed in a while.

OCTOBER - FIRST MOVIE.

I watched this without audio, so definitely will not rate it until a rewatch.

OCTOBER - FINAL DRAMA.

Randomly began this at home, forgot its existence, then completed it again once I was back home.
