First Impressions: In Love with Your Dimples and Princess! You have Five Husbands! cdramas Eps 1-3

 


In Love With Your Dimples cdrama Ep 1-3 (Cute Dimples in Love)  

Lucky Tang returns to her hometown to start over with an ordinary life. Her boyfriend left her, she quit her job and now she's broke. She meets Lu Zhi Yi. He's a childhood friend but she doesn't know that yet. She also meets He Qi Zhan to whom she shares the house. And lastly, she meets Jason again who also went to the same university as her.   

The first scene and the transitions are abrupt. The story has too much going on and all over the place.  As early as the first episode I knew I will drop the drama but things turned around by the third episode for me to give it another shot.  Besides we are still far off with the heart of the story (total of 24 episodes) and I can live vicariously through Lucky and her town. It is further fueling my longing to move back to my hometown. 

No reverse harem romance yet but there a lot of moments between the evident main guy and the girl from Day 1. The drama is hellbent on the two like a child squishing two dolls to kiss. Their scenes tend to get boring. It needs more build-up. I am rooting more on the two brothers. But who am I kidding? Plus iQiyi is being passive-aggressive to promote it if it's reverse harem or not and I'm desperately clinging to label it as one. The older one is hot while the younger one is really nice. Props for the younger guy even though Lucky has no sense of privacy or respect in his rented place. 

I don't know whose dimples are they referring to. I didn't notice anyone having dimples? There was a scene where Lucky mentions He Qi Zhan has dimples. Hold my purse. I have to double-check. (UPDATE: Jason has dimples too.)

Watch it on iQiyi.  


Princess! You have Five Husbands! Ep 1-3 cdrama (Prince Consort, Please Advice) 

Princess Sun Wu Hen goes to Xiangxiong for a peacemaking marriage between their two kingdoms. She is then told that she has to marry all five brothers. The first brother is the dominant prime minister. The second brother is the professional (?) general. The third is a businessman while the fourth is an idol (?) The youngest is a 9-year-old genius. Those in question marks are the actual translation but I'm not sure of the accuracy. 

This is pure comedy. The setting is ancient times but the jokes are modern.  The princess' expression is priceless. But they abuse this type of camera shot until I look forward to it.  The 5th son/ child wants to be on it too. Kudos to the heroine who can't be bothered with their shenanigans. No siree.  There's a ton of cringe-worthy moments like the general's lack of armor, the King's in-your-face bearing, and more. But it's fine since it's not meant to be taken seriously. And that weird song fits perfectly with the theme. 

Only two brothers have shown interest though but I think only one of them is sincere and has a backstory. If this was a western fiction book this would work out just fine sans the fifth brother. But looking at these shady characters I'm all for not marrying anyone at all. There should be more of this trope: To-avoid-bloodshed-I-married-all-brothers! Sounds like a manga or light novel title. Anyway, looking at you Scarlet Heart.

When I posted Levels of Reverse Harem there is only one example under five flowers but by last year I'm seeing a lot of concubines and now husbands. Note to self: must dedicate a future post to this. (Another note to self: You have so many notes that you never work on!) 

Watch it on Kukan Drama Channel.

👑 18 Treasures: Favorite Reverse Harem Reads from 2020-2025 (Manga, Manhwa, Webtoons & Novels)

Hello, Wallflowers! This is Ayreesa.  I recently shared my 18 Gems :  reverse harem reads from 2007–2019 that shaped me. Now it’s time for my personal favorite* reverse harem reads from 2020 to present , listed in the order I read them. Personal favorite = Some are problematic. 😅Sorry! Who knows, this might turn into one of your treasured favorites, too! Winning a copy of Mia and the Forbidden Medicine   Report back in 2020 gave me the push to request review copies and start covering licensed titles + licensing news . I’d love to cover even more stories, but both time and budget keep me from reading everything on my list. To make the most of my schedule, I share quick impressions and mini-reviews on Patreon. If you’d like to help me keep exploring new titles, you can support me through Patreon or Ko-fi . E very bit means so much!  This is Part 2 of 4 of Reverse Harem Garden  18th birthday series .  In the Philippines, a debut ball includes dancing with...

English Otome Mobile Apps

English otome apps are now available in smartphones! The art and the bishies are eye candy and the   premises are engaging. These are all paid apps but they all come with free prologues to tempt your wallets. Finally,  English games that are accessible! I wish I can just pay it in my local currency rather than credit card. "Pirates in Love" is the first title of Voltage Romance Sims. It's available both in itunes and play. You'll have to pay for each characters and epilogues. I really want to play Eduardo! "My Forged Wedding" is also from Voltage and are also available in itunes and play . The prologue doesn't give away the details as to why exactly they need to fake the wedding but check out the video above to have an idea why. I'm gravitating to Saeki (the ladies man) and Yamato (the rude guy). Also, the "uncle" seems to be play-able character in the future. Interesting. ...

💎18 Gems: Reverse Harem Reads That Shaped Me from 2007-2019 (Manhwa, Manga & Novels)

Hello wallflowers! This is Ayreesa. These 18 titles span 2007–2019 , my ultimate scanlation era . I didn't include series that already have anime adaptations and focused on stories I’ve finished or followed through many volumes. They are arranged in the order I read them. If you are new to reverse harem, treat these as hidden gems of reverse harem, but be warned that some tropes may feel dated or problematic today. This is Part 1 of 4 of Reverse Harem Garden  18th birthday series .  In the Philippines, a debut ball includes dancing with 18 boys who each offer a rose—known as the 18 Roses—and receiving 18 candles and messages from girls. Some even add their own twist with 18 gifts, 18 bills, or even 18 shoes… you get the idea. Some are kinda reverse harem. See Levels of Reverse Harem.

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)?  Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

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: Futei de Furachi na Ani desu ga

  Futei de Furachi na Ani desu ga (My Handsome Brothers) by Yuki Shiraishi  5 chapters (complete) Ayumu feels like a goose with her clingy and school's popular Shiratora brothers. Only 1 chapter is available so far. I wonder if the scanlators meant duckling. Anyway, the animal reference is not something new since it's from the same mangaka who wrote other two reverse harems: Ookamidomo no Shitsukekata (wolves) and Bokura no Himitsu wo Kyouyuu shiyou ka  (animal love story) . I don't remember really liking her art before but I sure do now.

Manga Review: I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2

I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2 (Akuyaku Reijou Desu ga, Kouyaku Taishou no Yousu ga Ijou Sugiru) Manga by: Ataka Light novel: by Sou Inaida Art by: Hachipsu Wen All Mystia wants is to avoid death in the otome game she is reincarnated in and to keep her family and servants safe. 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 betw...

Webcomic Review: Men of the Harem 17 episodes (ongoing)

  Men of the Harem -   Adapted by Herelee and Art by Yeongbin/based on webnovel by Alphatart The prologue starts with Latrasil as newly- crowned emperor. But instead of choosing a consort, she decided to create a harem of concubines just like what the previous male rulers have done in the past. Will her harem help her get revenge on her old lover and secure her throne? Based on webnovel. This is currently being published on Webtoon. For uniformity, I will refer to all scrolling online comics or manga or manhwa as webcomics but I may slip and use it interchangeably with webtoons.  The reverse harem is seven but officially it's five who signed the papers and all as concubines. There's Klein, the prince of Karisen; Ranamun, eldest son of Duke Atraxil; Guest Rhodes, second son of chancellor of Tharium; Tasir, heir to the richest trading company; and Carlein, King of Mercenaries.  There are dark themes but for the most part, it's fun with no lull moments. Maybe it’s too p...

Manga Review: Megane Apato

Megane Apato (Glasses Apartment) by An Tsukumiya Haruse was requested by her grandfather to be the landlady of the Haruse Apartment or better know as the Glasses Apartment due to the glasses-wearing tenants. I'm not really into the glasses-type even though I wear glasses. But there's more to the story than meets the eye which I find very cute. It looks like a oneshot manga but I'm not really sure.
