The Untamed is a Chinese wuxia drama that is based on the BL novel Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. If you were searching for BL in this drama then you will be sorely disappointed because there is no BL in it but there is bromance in it (and it is adorable). Since I haven't read the novel that this drama is based on, I'm not going to be comparing the two in this review. The story is about the life of Wei Wuxian, his relationships with the people around him, and the differences between the good and the evil. The cast was great, and had great chemistry with each other. The soundtrack was beautiful (and gave me an eargasm), and it fit the drama very well. I liked this drama and I would totally recommend it.

The King's Avatar is a Chinese drama about the E Sport Industry, gaming and teamwork. The story follows a legendary professional gamer who was betrayed and kicked out of his team, and his journey back to the championships. During his journey, he meets a lot of people and forms his own team. The actors played their characters well. I found Chen Guo kind of annoying at first but I kinda got over it. Her character was pretty hilarious at times and I got secondhand embarrassment from her when she kept fangirling. The soundtrack in this drama was pretty awesome and it fit the drama very well. Overall, I would recommend this drama. Even though I'm not a gamer, I still enjoyed watching it.

Search: WWW is a Korean slice-of-life office drama about three competitive independent career women working in the IT industry. They prioritize their career before romance, and show that they don't need a man to be successful and happy with their lives. There is romance in this drama but I'm not too interested in the romance aspect in this drama. This drama also discusses corruption in the IT industry and data manipulation. My favourite character in this drama is without a doubt the badass Scarlet; she can kickass ;D. The cast did a great job in playing their characters and the soundtrack was good. I would recommend this drama.

Gank Your Heart is a Chinese drama about the trending E Sport Industry. This drama is about a Chinese professional gamer who dreams of winning the first place trophy at the international championships with his team, and a live streamer. The story follows the professional gamer's journey to becoming a champion, and the live streamer's realization of her dream of becoming a professional gaming commentary. At first, I thought the live streamer and her reporter friend was kinda annoying. They did not know the definition of privacy at all but they became less annoying as the story went forward. The cast did a good job in playing their characters, and I loved the soundtrack. Overall, I would recommend this drama regardless of whether you are a gamer or not. I'm not much of gamer myself but I still enjoyed watching it.

The Nokdu Flower is not the typical Korean palace saguek drama. There is romance in this drama but it's not the main story line. The Nokdu Flower is set during The Donghak Peasant Revolution, and it is about two half brothers that end up on opposite sides during the rebellion. Baek Yi Hyun (played by Yoon Shi Toon) is the naive legitimate first son of a wealthy local government official, and Baek Yi Kang (played by Jo Jung Suk) is his illegitimate half brother. Yi Hyun has always had things handed to him while Yi Kang knows the harsh realities of the world. The cast in this drama played their characters amazingly well. The soundtrack of this drama is awesome. This drama introduced me to a great classical k-pop boy group called Forestella that everyone should check out. Overall, I would definitely recommend this drama.

The Lost Tomb 2 is a continuation of the tomb raiding adventure Chinese drama released in 2015 The Lost Tomb. The story of The Lost Tomb 2 loosely follows the story of The Lost Tomb with an entirely different cast. The Lost Tomb 2 is about Wuxie's tomb raiding adventures, the uncovering of the mystery behind the artifact found in the tomb from The Lost Tomb, and the uncovering of the mystery behind the disappearance of the archaeological team that his uncle was in. In this drama, you find out a bit more about the tombs mystery and about the mysterious character of Zhang Qilin. The cast in this drama was good at portraying their characters. The soundtrack fit the drama very well. The ending was a bit confusing and ended in a cliffhanger so I hope that it's explained in the next installment. Overall, I would recommend this drama to anyone who is searching for an adventure drama with some elements of horror. I would recommend that you watch The Lost Tomb and Mystic Nine first so you can better understand The Lost Tomb 2.

I do not know why no one is talking about this drama because it is amazing. Confession is a Korean law and mystery drama with great lead characters and villains. It's a dark drama that discusses corruption in the court, in the government and in the military, and its impact on families. The cast was amazing in this drama. Thank you Lee Junho and Yoo Jae Myung for being phenomenal leads. The soundtrack was great and it fit the drama very well. I would totally recommend this drama and would totally rewatch it again if I have the time to do so. If you're searching for romance then this drama isn't for you because there isn't any.

Princess Silver is a historical fantasy Chinese drama. The story started off very well with a clear plot (a princess forced into an arranged alliance marriage with a foreign prince who had no interest in her) and was quite interesting but the plot kinda changed and got really messy in the middle. It was a real struggle to complete this drama. The ending was decent though at least. The cast did well with what they had to work with. To be honest, I did not find the male lead to be very likeable, and I didn't really find the romance between the main leads interesting . My favourite characters in this drama was Xiao Sha (he was adorable), and Fu Chou (his story is downright depressing and in my opinion, he deserved a happy ending). The soundtrack was ok. I probably won't recommend this drama since there are better historical fantasy dramas than this, and the possibility of me rewatching this drama is very slim.
