First Impression: In A Class of Her Own ep 1-3 ~ It's starting to feel like Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Xue Wenxi makes use of her brilliant mind by copying and writing romance stories. She will do anything to take care of her family and she's doing all this while pretending as a boy. In desperation, she agreed to stand in for scholar's examinations but ended up studying inside the all-boy Yun Shang Academy. Inside the academy, she will become part of the Yun Shang Quartet. This is a cdrama remake of Sungkyunkwan Scandal kdrama.

First things first. Sungkyunkwan Scandal is one of my all-time favorite reverse harem kdrama. But with the Levels of Reverse Harem, it's now under two flowers (only 2 guys are interested in her). I was excited at first when I first saw the remake news but then I remembered how disappointed I was with the last two wuxia I've seen so this time I tried to be indifferent.

Sungkyunkwan Scandal

The guys are all so strikingly handsome that it hurts when you look at them but I'm not buying them yet for the looks. I think it will be hard to get past with my bias of SS especially my favorite, Mun Jae-sin. I can't remember the exact story now but some of the scenes are giving me deja vu like how she meets Lei Zexin perched on a tree and writing down on Feng Chengjun's robe. The only thing I liked from the first episode is the opening credits where they look like diorama displays.

In episode 2, I started getting butterflies when Feng Chengjun and Xue Wenxi got stuck in a cave. And true to gender bender fashion, the heroine is so pretty and everyone is too oblivious to notice that she's a girl. I started becoming interested in the show. Calm yourself...

By episode 3, my walls are crumbling down. I am getting myself so hyped up again. I'm starting to like the two guys now. And to think, Xue Wenxi and Lei Zexin (Mun Jae-shin counterpart) have not officially met yet as students. I think I'm going to fall for him so hard again. Just like I loved my favorite characters no matter who the actors are in all the adaptations of Hana Yori Dango and Hana Kimi. But I'm not feeling the heroine just yet. The only thing likable for now is her looks. Park Min Young as Kim Yun Sook was always smiling while Xue Wenxi is either frowning or scowling. Why do I have the feeling Yu Lexuan will also fall for her. I hope they all fall in love with her so we can tag this under four flowers and not two flowers. Haha I also don't trust my memory now, the president and courtesan are getting mixed up with Hwarang actors and storyline.

It's too early to tell if we'll enjoy the whole series but I'm optimistic and wishing real hard it will not disappoint later on. Sungkyunkwan is 20 episodes long while IACOHO has 36 episodes. I feel so pressured when it releases 2 episodes every. single. day. I am not ready to binge. Since the quarantine started I pace myself with 1 episode each a day and then ruminate on all those feelings before I watch the next one. But at this point, I want to go all out. I imagine the pacing will be slower or there will be additional scenes to stretch it out with the additional 16 episodes. So far the pacing is just perfect, but then again this is just 3 out of 36.

It's been a while since I have watched or read a gender bender. The last time was in 2017 with Love In the Moonlight (not a reverse harem), reverse harem anime Kenka Bancho Otome and reverse harem manga Ouran High School Host Club. There are so many upcoming gender bender cdramas too. My Unicorn Girl, We are Eighteen and (I also added) The Chang'an Youth. But I don't think they are four flowers. I miss this trope but I not looking forward to watching one after another.

Are you watching this? How do you find it so far? If not you can watch this on iQiyi. I am back on Ko-fi! Buy me a coffee please~ Thank you! :)

However, the guys seem to have bugs and are either raising or missing events on their own. Disclaimer A review copy was provided by Netgalley. Check out the first volume review . In the first volume, Mystia meets two of Kyun Kyun Love's suitors, Raid and Eric. In this sequel, we get to see how she meets Jesse, the teacher. For the fourth guy, Robert, it is more of pleasantries. The nicknames in the first volume are still not crystal clear to me. The sparkling prince. The cool tsundere. The gaudy guy. The yakuza teacher. I managed to get the first two mixed up while the other two have yet to unfold their said attributes. The competitiveness between E

First Impression: Vampire Dormitory anime Ep. 1-3

Vampire Dormitory anime Ep. 1-3 The vampire Ruka saves Mito who's all alone in the world. Now Ruka can't stand girls and he's oblivious to the fact this his new thrall is actually a girl. The animation is giving we have a budget well because it's Nakayoshi's 70th-anniversary project. I have only read just the first volume of the mang a and it's pretty much the same as far as I can remember with a few inserts from the coven. But what I do clearly remember is that the manga is more risque with the suggestive art. So now, I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not! (lol) Hence, the anime version will be here on the main blog and not on Patreon. It also has cute motifs that one would expect from Yumeiro Patissiere or Shugo Chara. With the cafe, the heart necklace, the strawberries, and the dessert-like brown and red school uniforms. The bloodsucking, ah yes an integral part of all vampire stories in shojosei and whatnot, is reminiscent of the naughtiness of

Anime Review: Kiskis! My Boyfriends are Mint Candies!

Kiskis! My Boyfriend are Mint Candies!- 4 episodes Tang Tang meet guys who each represent a flavor of mint candies. It has a catchy, cute opening. At first there's a different feel on it which I can't pinpoint. And then I realized that they are talking in Chinese! This is my first completed Chinese animation. Well since it was way too easy to finish it. It's 5-minute ONA for 4 episodes. I think this premiered last June 4. But the first Chinese animation I watched is still currently airing (unconfirmed reverse harem), Phantom in the Twilight, which is a collaboration between Japan and China. Oh back to back Chinese reviews after The Flame's Daughter. Is China going to be booming with reverse harem now?

Manga Review: Monster and Parent Vol. 2

Monster and Parent Vol. 2 manga story and art by: Ichi Sayo Saika is adjusting to her new life with her family, friends, and godling. But the threat of godeaters looms and an incident causes her godling, Squeak, to be unhappy with her. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher. Check out the first volume review . This volume focuses on Saika's relationships and we gradually see the brothers' character development. The two older brothers Kazuomi and Izumi are still my favorites but I'm leaning toward the oldest. He just cracks me up! But I'm also concerned with where the path of the youngest brother, Aki is going. I like the premise of Monster and Parent but I still need to be blown away with the story. I'm hoping it happens in the succeeding volumes. The godeaters deal is still vague and they are wishy-washy in handling it but it was addressed near the end. I want to see more of the other godlings and their interaction with each other or with the
