THE SHORT VERDICT: Prettily filmed, with a purposefully told story, and a solid cast that delivers strong performances, Blossom is a mid-budget drama that bats above its weight. I found it nicely engaging from the start, and I was most taken by the burgeoning OTP connection, which boasts a good amount of electric spark, particularly […] The post Review: Blossom [China] appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

THE SHORT VERDICT: This show is glossy, snappy and zippy, with a touch of irreverence, and overall very slurpable and fun to watch; narrative arcs don’t take very long to resolve, and they are effectively engaging, such that I’d happily finish an episode, and feel ready for another. Beyond the slurp factor, I think what […] The post Review: The Trauma Code: Heroes On Call appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

We’ve got one more EOY to wrap up the drama year that was 2024 – surprise? ? Trent‘s EOY would have come out earlier, but he came down with a nasty bug while writing, that put him out of action for a bit. I’m so glad that he decided to finish writing his EOY, nonetheless, […] The post Patreon Year End Awards: Trent’s Year In Dramas 2024! appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

THE SHORT VERDICT: This show isn’t for everyone – is, I think, the most accurate and important thing I could say about this drama. ? Characters and relationships tend to develop in ways that can lean messy &/or perplexing, and that is kind of reflective of real life, in a manner of speaking. How well […] The post Review: Motel California appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

THE SHORT VERDICT: This show had me squeeing week to week, right from the beginning, with its understated yet on-point depiction and exploration of burgeoning awareness and attraction between our would-be OTP. So much crackle. On that note, Lee Joon Hyuk and Han Ji Min are pitch-perfect and really quite wonderful in this. As a […] The post Review: Love Scout appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more

THE SHORT VERDICT: I found this to be an interesting and engaging story of personal journey, with a pretty heartfelt love story to go with. Our entire cast is strong and puts in solid performances, but the standout, to me, is Im Ji Yeon as our titular Lady Ok. Male lead Choo Young Woo is […] The post Review: The Tale of Lady Ok appeared first on The Fangirl Verdict ..read more
