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. But you know what, we were there for it. Let’s park our critical brains for a bit and enjoy the ride.

(06:29) Let’s get past the worst part - wild onion soup in the forest
(11:55) General thoughts about the last arc

(34:31) Sidebar about Yan Chi as the perfect Chinese husband
(36:16) Summing up the good vs. bad
(54:34) Ratings and wrap up

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. Listen in as we share our thoughts on the first 10 episodes.

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. Listen as we discuss what worked for us, what didn’t, and what we would’ve changed.
