Young Royals Season 2: The First Four Minutes Hints at Revenge
Young Royals is probably one of the best love stories I have ever seen. While the back born of the series is the love story of Wilhelm and Simon, it was not the usual high school romance. It had extremely flawed yet relatable characters, and we saw a lot against the set standards of the…

Doctors is a Criminally Underrated K-Drama
Doctors is the first and probably one of the best K-dramas I ever watched. It was really shocking to know that how underrated the drama is (I actually prefer this to the much popular DOTS which was released in the same year). I am a sucker for coming-of-age dramas.
