    Ski into Love- Eps 11-12

    I guess that answers my question from last time. What does it take for Zhi to finally call Chong by his name instead of ‘Master’? Just a little near-death experience with an avalanche it seems.… Read more

    Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning

    Ethan Hunt is back, and the stakes are bigger than ever… nothing less than saving the whole of humanity from extinction. This is meant to be the last film in the franchise (even if the… Read more

    The Apothecary Diaries S2 Eps 32 & 33: The Empress Dowager/ The Late Emperor
