Light Novel Review: Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower Vol. 1

  Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower Vol. 1 - Story by Miri Mikawa Art by Kasumi Nagi Translated by afm  Setsu Rimi enters the imperial harem as a tribute to the emperor. She is a carefree girl with cooking as her sole passion. She meets the  cuisinologist/loveless scholar Su Shusei,  the emperor's bodyguard Shin Jotetsu; the beautiful eunuch Sai Hakurei, and the magnificent and sadist-like emperor Ryo Shohi. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher.  The reason it got into my reverse harem radar is thanks to the last bit of " China-inspired fantasy story about a princess and her love for food surrounded by gorgeous men ." She's surrounded alright by gorgeous men. Let me arrange them on their level of interest to her. The main guy is Shusei. Period. Hakurei comes second who has taken interest in her but for different confusing reasons. The emperor is bent on getting her beheaded but she is his concubine so there's plenty of room for possible ...

Webcomic Review: The Remarried Empress 77 episodes (ongoing)

The Remarried Empress - Written by Alphatart and Art by Sumpul /based on webnovel   Sovieshu asks for a divorce from his empress, Navier, while his concubine looks on smugly. Navier accepts and in return she asks for approval to remarry. Cue in Heinrey who wants to marry Navier. webnovel art I have two methods of consuming media. The first is for review mode where I recap and analyze each chapter or episode. The other one is where I just read or watch mindlessly without having to worry about reviewing it. Since I enjoyed Men of Harem I tried another one of her webnovel turned webtoon, The Remarried Empress. The prologue looks like a love triangle so I read this wantonly and fell into the webtoon scroll of doom. Take note this is now currently at 77 episodes. And halfway through...oh crap...why is this somehow turning into a reverse harem! Normally, I would be happy. I was supposed to reread it to properly review it but I just can't. It's entertaining but if I knew the story w...

First Impression: Crazy Queen/Crazy Day cdrama Ep 1-4

First Impression: Crazy Queen/Crazy Day Ep 1-4  Yumi falls into the pond and when she wakes up, she's in the body of the empress who happens to have 30 husbands. She badly wants to meet the consort who looks like someone from her world. But the problem is she can only meet each husband once a month. The premise of meeting a different husband every night for a full month is impressive. But sadly... as of the first 4 episodes and credits, it looks like only three husbands will make an appearance. Also, only 4 out of 20 episodes are subtitled and this came out in 2016. Of course, she makes excuses not to spend time with them as she has set her eyes on the consort. But we wouldn't get to see any interaction between the two of them at all from the few episodes. It's a good thing that cdramas shows the future scenes of the story on the opening or ending credits so we can imagine what will happen to them. So far I don't hate it but I'm not gushing over it either. It's ...

Drama Review: Princess You Have Five Husbands

Princess You Have Five Husbands/Prince Consort, Please Advise - Two versions available: 39 episodes (Youku)/12 episodes (Kukan) 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 general. The third is a businessman while the fourth is an idol. The youngest is a 9-year-old genius. Check out the First Impression  here. She continues to spend the night with each brother and out of all the brothers, surprisingly I enjoyed the youngest one's. I didn't see the twist coming. It continues to its craziness. The drama is aware of how campy the show is and is completely owning it. Some of the highlights are having a video cam footage type of show within the ancient period setting and the twinces...! This is the only show that I have seen that pays homage to Ouran High School Host Club 's Kaoru and Hikaru. And ...
