The Juniper and Elle Show

In this podcast episode, we discuss our sentiments after watching the first eight episodes of the Korean drama “Perfect Crown”. While its lavish royal romance sounds promising on paper, this one somehow lands emotionally flat despite its gorgeous visuals and intriguing premise. Join us as we unpack what mades this one oddly forgettable.(00:33) Introduction(03:59) Why The Show Just Isn’t Working (24:08) The Funniest Part: Product Placements + Final ThoughtsDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We return to share our final thoughts about Chinese drama “Love Beyond the Grave” 白日提灯. After an initial slow start, this show delivered one of the most emotionally satisfying love stories we’ve seen in a while. In our wrap-up, we dive into why this “four-cheese” romance works, how the leads completely sell a doomed love across worlds, why even the minor support characters are interesting, and which of its two endings we prefer.

In this episode, we wrap up the Chinese rom com “You Are My Fateful Love” 你是迟来的欢喜. Elle had looked forward to finishing this mellow but sweet drama in our last pod. Now, she’s back to deliver her full (somewhat disappointed) verdict. Then we take a peek, and really only a peek, at the Chinese fantasy drama “Veil of Shadows” 月鳞绮纪. Why only a peek despite all the beautiful people and visuals? Well, let us tell you why.(00:33) Introduction(01:29) You Are My Fateful Love - Final Verdict(16:45) Veil of Shadows - Passing ImpressionsDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this episode, we share our midway impressions on two currently airing Chinese dramas - the costume fantasy romance “Love Beyond the Grave” 白日提灯 and the modern rom-com “You Are My Fateful Love” 你是迟来的欢喜.While different on paper in terms of genre and themes, both dramas suffer from slow starts. Yet both also deliver rewarding payoffs as you persist.

In this episode, we wrap up C-drama “Pursuit of Jade” 逐玉 and K-drama “Boyfriend on Demand.” If you checked out our midway impressions previously, you’ll know we both loved “Pursuit of Jade” early on. Now that the drama has wrapped, we find ourselves landing in very different places. Juniper breaks down why the final stretch completely changed her view of the main characters and her feelings about the show, while Elle argues that the story stayed true to its themes, artistry, and emotional core. From character “personality shifts” to morally gray choices, we dive deep into what worked—and what didn’t.To wrap up, Elle shares her take on “Boyfriend on Demand” and whether it delivered as a lighter watch.(00:32) Introduction(02:28) Pursuit of Jade - Overall Thoughts(06:39) Pursuit of Jade - Where It Fell Apart for Juniper (and Elle’s Counterpoints)(15:53) Pursuit of Jade - Ending Arc Critique(19:15) Pursuit of Jade - The Potential For Inevitable Tragedy(26:41) Pursuit of Jade - Favorite and Not-So-Favorite Characters(38:55) Pursuit of Jade - Other Things of Note(41:27) Pursuit of Jade - Final Ratings(44:09) Boyfriend on Demand - Elle’s Wrap Up ThoughtsDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this episode of The Juniper & Elle Show, we do a roundup of four dramas we viewed this month that covers a broad range of topics and which may or may not be worth your while.First, Juniper gives her final take on the Chinese wuxia romance “Generation to Generation” 江湖夜雨十年灯, which she found to be a surprisingly cheerful show despite its tragic themes. Then we jump back to the 1980s with C-drama “Dream of Golden Years” 你好 1983, a transmigration story that’s more satisfying than compelling. Juniper also checks out the new Korean drama, “Climax” 클라이맥스, a gritty political thriller with a sizzling cast. Last but not least, Elle ventures into the VR dating fantasy world with the K-drama “Boyfriend on Demand” 월간남친. If you’ve been wondering what to watch (or skip), we’ve got you covered.(00:32) Introduction & Overview(02:30) Generation to Generation - Final Wrap Up(16:30) Dream of Golden Years - Episodes 1-7 Impressions(28:14) Climax - Episodes 1-2 Impressions(37:10) Boyfriend on Demand - Episodes 1-4 ImpressionsDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We’re only halfway through Pursuit of Jade (逐玉), but it might already be one of the most interesting C-dramas of the year.In this episode, we dive into what makes the show such a compelling watch so far. What begins as a trope-filled romance gradually evolves into something deeper. The immersive village life, a rich ensemble of characters who constantly challenge first impressions, and a story exploring the human cost of war make this idol costume drama surprisingly engaging. And of course, all the beautiful visuals and eye candy don’t hurt!(00:32) Introduction & Overview(03:15) What Drew Us In And Kept Us Engaged(11:59) The Rich Story World, Interesting Side Characters, and Compelling Storytelling(20:25) Deranged Yet Complex Villains, Gray Morality, and What Comes NextDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We wrap up our discussion of Bridgerton Season 4 with a look at Part 2 and how it completes the season as a whole. After loving the romantic fantasy of the first half, the second half feels more grounded and emotional, where reality begins to hit hard. Benedict and Sophie might be the most fully realized couple in the Bridgerton universe, and we love them for it. We also talk about how the show’s ever-growing parade of supporting characters hits—and misses—this time around.(00:32) Introduction & Overall Sentiments About Part 2(06:56) What Worked, What Didn’t Work(16:52) Other Characters, Thoughts, and Tangents(31:15) Thoughts about the Epilogue Wedding(35:16) Final Ratings & Wrap UpDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

This time, we dive into two currently airing Chinese dramas that couldn’t be more different — and we’re thoroughly enjoying both!“Love Story in the 1970s” 纯真年代的爱情 is an unexpectedly whimsical romance set against the rigid structure of 1975 China. “Generation to Generation” 江湖夜雨十年灯 is a fast-paced wuxia packed with sect rivalries, generational secrets, and a green-tea male lead who refuses to let go. Two romances. Two worlds. One cozy and constrained. One dangerous and free. Which male lead would we choose? Which world would we survive in? And which show is harder to follow without the right lens? Let’s find out!

For this podcast episode, we had set out to review Chinese drama “How Dare You!?” 成何体统 but ended up questioning whether long-form dramas are always the best way to tell a story. Slight disappointment in the show led us down an unexpected rabbit hole — checking out the short drama and animated adaptations of the same story. From there, we dove into vertical micro-dramas, including a contract-marriage romance (许你地久婚长) that became a trope-filled binge that delivered quick emotional payoff and focused romance without filler.(00:32) Introduction(02:16) How Dare You - 3 versions to choose from, which one works best?(14:51) Falling Into Short (Vertical) Drama Land - a happy accident(26:02) Wrap up - are we more open to short-form now?Disclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

Netflix’s Bridgerton finally remembers how to be romantic. In this episode of The Juniper & Elle Show, we dive into the first four episodes of Bridgerton Season 4, which brings us Benedict and Sophie’s long-awaited love story. After a divisive Season 3, this chapter gives us real romance - quieter, more intimate, emotionally grounded, and closer to Pride and Prejudice than pure spectacle.(00:32) Introduction(01:29) Why Season 4 Feels Different(06:33) Benedict & Sophie: Chemistry, Class, and Yearning(10:06) Pride & Prejudice Energy, the Non-Glow-Up, and Love with Real Stakes(15:14) What Works (and What Doesn’t) - Love Scenes, Old and New Characters, the Pinnacle Talk(24:58) Wrap UpDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this episode, we cover three modern Asian romance dramas. We begin with a wrap-up of the previously discussed Chinese drama “Love Between Lines” 轧戏. We both agree the first two-thirds delivered strong chemistry, intimacy, and mood, but diverge on how the show concluded its run. We then shift gears to midway impressions of another Chen Xingxu C-drama, “My Page in the 90s” 突然的喜欢 —a chaotic, low-budget, high-energy rom-com set in a novel. While choppy and with questionable aesthetics, it delivers unexpected charm in its central pairing and comedic absurdity. Finally, Elle reviews the Korean drama “Can This Love Be Translated?” 이 사랑 통역 되나요?, a romance that starts conventionally before veering into darker emotional territory..(00:32) Introduction(01:50) Love Between Lines Wrap-Up - When Chemistry Starts to Carry Too Much(20:06) My Page in the 90s Midway Thoughts - Chaos, Comedy, and Accidental Charm(33:21) Can This Love Be Translated?

This episode of The Juniper & Elle Show takes on two modern Chinese romance dramas with very different results. We close the book on “Shine On Me” 骄阳似我, unpacking why a glossy, successful “perfect couple” story ultimately felt juvenile, low-stakes, and emotionally hollow—despite strong visuals and popularity. Then we turn to a surprise standout: “Love Between Lines” 轧戏. What started as a low-expectation watch quickly became a favorite thanks to its moody Shanghai setting, clever VR-game hook, mature character dynamics, and unexpectedly strong cast chemistry. We discuss why this drama feels cozy, grounded, and thoughtfully paced—and why it succeeds where others fall flat.

In this episode of our podcast, we discuss two modern Chinese dramas we didn’t expect to watch - “Why Is He Still Single” 他为什么依然单身 and “Shine On Me” 骄阳似我. It’s a study in contrast between two Shanghai-set modern stories. One is a slice-of-life dramedy with a non-existent plot, carried by its actors and comedic dynamic. The other suffers from an adolescent, inflated plot that potentially overshadows its pretty young leads. The romance is questionable in both, yet there are also things to like about each show.

In this podcast episode, Juniper and Elle discuss “Sniper Butterfly” 狙击蝴蝶, the C-drama romance that became a year-end sleeper hit. We delve into our thoughts about the characters, the actors, how the reverse age-gap love story comes across, and when gratitude, love, power, and agency collide.

It’s that time of the year when we feature something for the holidays. This year, we each chose one film - Elle selected the 1995 romantic comedy “While You Were Sleeping”, while Juniper went for “It Happened on 5th Avenue” from 1947. Interestingly, for two vastly different films from different eras, there are some common threads, such as found family, telling lies, and finding love. If you’ve watched either film, have a listen and see if you’d add anything to our debate. And if you haven’t seen these, maybe we can convince you not to miss out.(00:32) Introduction & Overview(01:06) While You Were Sleeping - Rewatch Reactions and Cast What Ifs(21:43) It Happened on 5th Avenue - Charm, Humor, and Everything Else(36:45) Comparing the Two, What We’d Change, Ratings, and Wrap UpDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We hoped for sparks from the pairing of Dilraba Dilmurat and Chen Xingxu in “Love on the Turquoise Land” 枭起青壤 and looked forward to an intriguing story. Alas, while this Chinese sci-fi fantasy thriller drama delivers beautiful visuals, it lacks narrative focus and energy. Besides an exciting intro early on, it sets itself adrift on a long road to nowhere. Let’s talk about the baffling character logic, the oddly likable villains, and the utterly pointless scenes.(00:33) Introduction & Overview(03:28) Confounding Characters(10:58) What Are We to Root For?(17:13) Scenes That Make You Go Huh(21:48) Exasperating Narrative Pacing and (Lack of) Vision(25:10) It’s Really A Loser Cult(28:44) Wrap Up ThoughtsDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this episode, we delve into three Chinese dramas that share an unexpected theme - recent shows we really tried to watch but couldn’t quite get through fully. We revisit “Blood River” 暗河传 and “Fight for Love” 山河枕 with updated thoughts after getting further into each, and we check out the audience-requested “Love in the Clouds” 入青云. As usual, there are good and bad things we took away from all these shows. But what exactly happened that made these not quite jive for us?

It’s another double-feature drama session. This time, Elle drags herself across the finish line of Chinese drama “Eat, Run, Love” 吃饭跑步和恋爱 - a second-chance romance that delivers more running than actual loving. Then Juniper gushes with spoiler-packed sentiments as she shares a much delayed wrap-up of “Fated Hearts” 一笑随歌, where some ludicrousness and deviation from the source novel worked, and other times she wishes the show had kept to the book.(00:32) Introduction(01:07) Eat Run Love - Elle’s take(19:22) Eat Run Love - Elle’s rating(21:59) Fated Hearts - Juniper’s wrap-up(36:37) Fated Hearts - Juniper’s ratingDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We dive into two more historical C-dramas this time. First up, we discuss why “Fight for Love” 山河枕 with Victoria Song and Ryan Ding is more than expected but less than what could have been, and why the supporting characters steal the show.

We sink our teeth into “Blood River” 暗河传, the new Gong Jun-led wuxia drama, and dive headlong into the murky world of assassins, loyalty, and reluctant heroes. It’s a split decision on whether the plot has depth or just stylish swordplay, but there is consensus about likeable characters and surprisingly funny undertones.(00:32) Introduction & Overview(03:43) Elle’s Reservations(07:49) Why Juniper Prefers This Over Blood of Youth(13:56) What Else Makes This Work(18:48) Tidbits about the Story, Humor, Female Lead, Viewing Experience(30:48) Wrap UpDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

Juniper and Elle dive into two wildly different Chinese dramas we recently started — the glossy, deceptive world of “Love’s Ambition” 许我耀眼, where romance teeters on lies and class, and the unexpectedly delightful “Yummy Yummy Yummy” 宴遇永安, a time-travel family comedy with heart (and snacks). It’s a choice between slick drama or laugh-out-loud silliness.(00:31) Introduction(01:40) Love’s Ambition - Ambition, Lies, and Class(18:01) Yummy, Yummy, Yummy - Family, Food, and Fluff(27:55) Wrap UpDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this podcast episode, we share our midway impressions of “Fated Hearts” 一笑随歌, the sizzling Chinese costume drama that takes the enemies-to-lovers trope and weaves a sensational tale.

In this podcast episode, we share our final thoughts on “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” — a Korean drama that mixes time travel, palace politics, and endless cooking contests.

We just binged “Mobius” — the twisty Chinese sci-fi thriller about a cop who experiences time loops — and are here to share our thoughts.

Scratching her Liu Xueyi itch yet again, Elle decided to check out the 2024 modern split timeline drama “What If” in which he is one of the leads. Despite being only 20 episodes, it still delivered a good dose of annoyance and frustration. Elle persevered so that she could share her thoughts with the world.

Taking another break from long-form Asian dramas, this week we talk about Netflix’s movie adaptation of the popular mystery novel “The Thursday Murder Club”. Juniper read the books and had plenty of anticipation for the film; Elle had never heard of the book and had no idea who starred in the adaptation beforehand.

“When Destiny Brings the Demon” hooked us with its refreshing dynamics between a modern slacker woman and a powerful, menacing grandmaster. But somewhere around the middle, the drama took a dive into subpar story tropes and underwhelming villains. Despite this, we managed to make it all the way through, saved by a redeeming ending.

Let’s take a look at two recent dramas with themes anchored in time travel and transmigration. First, we unpack the first two episodes of the Korean drama “Bon Appetit, Your Majesty”, about a Michelin-starred chef who finds herself sent 500 years back in time, facing a tyrant king. There is much to like about the food and the story. Then, we take a brief detour into Chinese drama “When Destiny Brings the Demon”. Despite seeming simple at first glance, we find ourselves quite amused by the comedic and endearing antics in this story about a slacker modern office worker who finds herself attending to the most feared grandmaster of a cultivation sect.(00:31) Introduction(02:38) Bon Appetit, Your Majesty - Episode 1 & 2 Impressions(33:47) When Destiny Brings the Demon - Midway ImpressionsDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We step away from C-drama binging to revisit two very different romances from the 1990s - Wong Kar Wai’s moody Chungking Express and Keanu Reeves’ vineyard fairytale A Walk in the Clouds. Do these films still evoke the same sentiments after 30 years? How do we like canned pineapples, Tony Leung in tighty whities, Keanu being Keanu, and schmaltzy love? Let’s hop in the movie time machine and find out.(00:31) Introduction(02:30) Chungking Express - Cool or Overrated?(22:05) A Walk in the Clouds - Schmaltz in the Vineyard(31:58) Final verdicts and wrap upDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

Coming off the high of Coroner’s Diary, we polished off two additional shows from our summer watchlist and peeked into two new ones. In this episode, we wrap up “Deep Affection Eyes” 深情眼 and “Seven Relics of Ill Omen” 七根心简, two dramas that diversified our summer viewing experience in different but good ways.

Let’s dive headfirst into the whirlwind final episodes of “Coroner’s Diary” 朝雪录. We loved the first half, so how did the second half pan out? Well, it took a surprising sharp turn and took us on a wild ride. The initial calm energy gives way to chaos, everybody’s scheming, and our sweet main couple navigates palace hell.

The currently airing Chinese modern romance “Deep Affection Eyes” 深情眼 wasn’t on our radar until Juniper was intrigued by its trailer. This unexpectedly swoony age-gap romance starring Zhang Yuxi and Bi Wenjun turns up the summer heat with its fiery chemistry, steamy love scenes, and likeable characters.

We previously previewed two Chinese costume dramas that aired at the same time - “The Princess’s Gambit” 桃花映江山 and “A Dream Within A Dream” 书卷一梦. Each of us ended up sticking with only one; Elle chose Liu Xueyi while Juniper went with comedy. Now that we’ve finished watching them, did we love them? Not exactly. Despite promising premises, they each delivered many frustrations.

Who knew watching people make googly eyes while dissecting corpses and solving crimes in ancient China could be so engrossing, but that’s exactly what we get with the costume drama “Coroner’s Diary” 朝雪录. It deftly interweaves medical forensics and swoony romance, helped along by an appealing and convincing cast. Compared to the recent spate of C-dramas that drummed up high promise but became tedious slogfests, this romantic, often funny, and thoroughly enjoyable ride has Juniper and Elle hooked and waiting eagerly for the coming episodes.(00:31) Introduction(03:53) Plot Setup and Main Leads(13:59) Show’s Approach to Murder, Mystery, Mayhem & Characters(25:44) Enjoyable CP Dynamics(33:11) Story Progression and Case Arcs So Far (through episode 16) (39:09) Actor Spotting - Spying People From Other Shows(44:23) About the Visuals and Wrap Up Disclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

Lately, we’ve fallen into a rabbit hole of dramas starring Chinese actor Liu Xueyi, and Elle has been a happy victim ever since. To indulge her love of all things Liu Xueyi, she decided to watch an older 2021 romantic comedy starring said apple of her eye. Somehow Juniper got sucked in for a partial ride, too. While “Love At Night” 夜色暗涌时 is no diamond in the rough, it has its charms, carried by its stars. Let’s take a journey back in time and see what this one is all about.(00:31) Introduction & Overview(04:47) About the Main CP Dynamics(09:02) The Good and the Meh(17:22) Some Questionable Elements(35:37) Ratings and Wrap UpDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this pod, we dive into two recent Chinese costume drama releases - “The Princess’s Gambit” 桃花映江山 and “A Dream Within A Dream” 书卷一梦. A political intrigue that takes everything seriously vs. a meta parody where nothing is sacred, these shows couldn’t be more different. Yet, they somehow also resemble each other in uncanny ways. Listen in as we discuss our early impressions and ruminate on whether either show has real staying power.(00:31) Introduction & Overview(04:19) The Princess’s Gambit early impressions(16:59) A Dream Within A Dream early impressions(28:47) Further ruminations on both dramas and beyondDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We made it through the end of “Feud” 临江仙 and are here to give a wrap-up assessment. For a drama that promised divine grandeur, this one left us quite underwhelmed and hollow. In contrast, the seemingly silly sounding “Seven Relics of Ill Omen” 七根心简 surprised and delighted us with its spot-on casting, fun character dynamics, and engrossing supernatural mystery adventure story. We are only halfway through this one but look forward to unraveling its hidden secrets.(00:31) Introduction & Overview(01:48) Feud - post finale wrap-up(22:38) Seven Relics of Ill Omen - midway reactionsDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this episode, we discuss the latest Bai Lu xianxia drama, Feud 临江仙, also starring Joseph Zeng Shunxi. While the show is nearing its finale, we still aren’t sure what it’s trying to sell the audience. Is the female lead's relentless vengeance relatable or just plain toxic?

After years on the shelf, Chinese xianxia drama Love Never Fails 落花时节又逢君 finally aired recently. In this episode, we share our thoughts after finishing all 40 episodes (plus bonus ones!). For all the flaws and nonsense in this old-fashioned story, we grew quite fond of it. The green screen chemistry of the main leads worked its charm against all expectations, and the lovable bromance between the two heavenly brothers brought a smile to us. Join us for a fun chat about an unexpectedly watchable xianxia release.(00:31) Introduction & Overview(05:29) Questions, flaws, and the good stuff(16:04) Favorite story arcs and the bromance deviation from the novel (21:28) The visuals, other characters, and unnecessary shirtlessness(26:55) Ratings, wrap-up, and why we're not finishing Prisoner of BeautyDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this episode, we unpack the moody, visually stunning Korean period drama “Dear Hongrang”. From its tangled family drama and questionable romance plotline to its high production value and oddly claustrophobic world, we dive deep into what worked, what didn’t, and why the show left us emotionally cold despite a stellar Lee Jae Wook. Whether you loved it, hated it, or are just drama-curious, this is the post-watch discussion you didn’t know you needed.

We checked out the recently air-dropped Chinese drama, “The Prisoner of Beauty“ 折腰. While we didn’t become prisoners of this beauty, we enjoyed many aspects. Here are our thoughts based on the 11 episodes we’ve watched as of this discussion.

We can’t seem to get away from Liu Xueyi costume dramas lately, but that may not be a bad thing. This time, we check out the recently released Chinese xianxia drama “Love Never Fails,” which also features one of our new favorite actors, Ao Ruipeng. Although filmed four years ago, this old-fashioned story remains fresh and has entertained us so far with its lovable comedy and characters.(00:31) Introduction & Overview(08:41) What works so far with this show(18:07) The surprising comedy and other observationsDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We approached Chinese xianxia drama “A Moment But Forever” 念无双 with hesitation. The mediocre aesthetics in early episodes, the old-fashioned story, and older stars in a typically young idol genre were all causes for concern. However, we are so glad we stayed with this drama. It’s rewarding once you get past the initial tranche of episodes. Highly entertaining and highly rewatchable, don’t be deterred by its veneer and check this one out!(00:31) Introduction & Overview(10:38) The main characters and their dynamics(23:03) The second CP and their story(37:04) The villain(s)(30:43) Other memorable characters(49:51) Other things and comparisons with the novel and cartoon(55:02) About the ending and random nicknames(58:54) Ratings and wrap upDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

Sometimes you just have to take a break from long Asian dramas to catch a short but memorable movie. This week, we do exactly that with the 1987 romantic comedy Moonstruck, which won Cher a best actress Oscar and also starred a young Nicolas Cage. It’s time to soak in the amore and charm all around! And if you haven’t watched this classic, why not do that right after listening to our thoughts on it?!(00:31) Introduction & Overview(05:03) What Makes This Movie Work - the characters, the chemistry, the opera, the New York setting...(34:07) Ratings and wrap upDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

On Juniper’s recent bender to watch the collected works of Chinese actor Ao Ruipeng 敖瑞鹏, she finally checked out “Wrong Carriage, Right Groom” 花轿喜事, the 2023 Chinese rom com fluff remake of a 2001 oldie. While the story is almost nonexistent, something delightful about the central lovebird pairs makes this drama worth checking out, at least under certain circumstances. Juniper got Elle to sample the show, and Elle agrees. If you’re curious why bother with this show, here’s our take.(00:31) Introduction & Overview(08:58) What we liked and didn’t like - couples, plot, styling, scene highlights(30:12) What if the right pairings happened?(35:19) Ratings, why watch it or not, and wrap upDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We checked out a random collection of Chinese dramas this week as a way to pass the time. Juniper talks about her final thoughts upon finishing revenge drama The Glory 雁回时. Elle accidentally watched some episodes of an older drama called Star of Ocean 星辰大海. And we both discuss our initial impressions of the “middle-aged xianxia” fantasy A Moment But Forever 念无双..(00:31) Introduction & Overview(04:38) The Glory - Wrap Up & Rating (SPOILERS)(18:54) Star of Ocean(35:01) A Moment But ForeverDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

We are checking out two vastly different and mostly harmless Chinese dramas at the moment - Ski Into Love 嘘，国王在冬眠 & The Glory 雁回时. Neither is high art, but we do manage to find some merit and entertainment value in each. Would we recommend you check either out? If you want easy fluffy romance, Ski Into Love may fit that bill. If you want crazy revenge shenanigans, then The Glory is a definitely maybe.(00:31) Introduction(01:58) Ski Into Love(16:03) The GloryDisclaimer: Our podcast chats are intended to be casual banter in the name of good fun.

In this pod, we discuss the much anticipated (by fans) Chinese Drama “The First Frost” 难哄. While Juniper checked it out first and put Elle on its path, we ended up with different sentiments about the show. Juniper didn’t finish, while Elle counts it as one of her top 5 recent favorites. How did we come away with such different reactions?

We like Tan Jianci and Li Landi. When we learned they would be starring together in the Chinese drama “Filter” 滤镜, we eagerly looked forward to it. Alas, imagine our disappointment when we finally saw this supposed comedy. Heck, you don’t have to imagine. Let us tell you all about our frustrations in this episode of our podcast!
