My Demon: I watched the first two episodes of “My Demon” over the weekend. The purpose of a show is to entertain you and I can say I was thoroughly entertained. I raised my eyes at some of the scenes and I tried not to think too much about some of the themes because I might overthink and sour my good feelings for the show.

Perfect Marriage revenge: when I learned that the show was only 12episodes, I fell behind and failed to watch the most recent episodes (4). I will catch up during this week. I probably also fell behind due to the intense stress the show is causing me. Everyone is scheming and trying to knock each other down. I am stressed and I feel my blood pressure rise while watching their shenanigans.

Story of Kunning Palace: this is the second Zhang Linghe series that I am finishing this year. This is also the second BaiLu’s series I’m completing this year. BaiLu as usual delivered her good enough acting which did not detract from the show. Linghe on the other hand was exceptional. His acting was intense and I could feel all the repressed madness he was feeling. His character was cunning, manipulative and insane. BaiLu’s character was just morally gray which I also liked. Theresa side characters too were amazing. Theresa girl that turned into her cousins concubine was a chess worthy move. Some endings were bittersweet (that poor girl that was trapped as the main wife while Jiang Xuehui became a favored concubine). The plot was overall good. Barring some minor Deus ex machina, it was tight. No filler scenes or unnecessary dialogue. 9/10
