What Are We Watching in August 2026?

Synopsis, cast, number of episodes, start date, air date, where to watch it, original network. Did I miss anything? I’ll continue keeping an eye on these shows released […]

Spooky in Love: Ep 7 My Highlights

The First Jasmine: Eps 1 to 10 My Notes

This is a work in progress. Titles are always interesting to analyze but since I’m not Chinese, I had to rely on google to figure out what “The First Jasmine” or “Mo Li” meant. I came up with four possible explanations. The first is the simplest one. The title is a derivation of the names […]

The First Jasmine: Eps 31 to 40 Open Thread

The thread is open. Later I’ll open threads for the previous episodes but I’m opening this one right now because I think @ibisfeather and @monmour will like discussing the angsty moments of Episode 31. I’m sure if @agdr03 was watching this show, she’ll love it too. Let’s enjoy the show. Spoilers.  For Episode 31 1. […]
