Quick Takes: Pealing back the mysteries in Out of Court and The Murder in Kairoutei

I wrote these reviews after I watched Out of Court and The Murder in Kairoutei last summer, but never got around to posting them here. Both involve mysteries and investigations, but are otherwise quite different in tone and quality. One is a well-crafted and underrated legal drama, while the other is a bingy romance murder mystery romp.

Quick Takes: Manage your expectations and you might enjoy Broker, Ni Chang

A couple of quick takes on two dramas I personally enjoyed — with lots of caveats. First is Broker, a very flawed and soapy corporate espionage drama for die-hard Luo Yunxi fans with a kick-ass Victoria Song. Second is Ni Chang, a historical costume drama that I ended up enjoying, perhaps because I went in with extremely low expectations and fully spoiled on who lived and who died.

Quick Take: The Untamed 陈情令

This was an exceptional series with a truly wonderful cast of characters. A quick review from August, 2019.
