2. The Story of Saiunkoku
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
1. This was probably the first reverse harem anime I ever watched and loved it. Not silly guys desperate for a girl but it is about a hard working brilliant woman, in ancient times, who work with a host of handsome guys to save and improve their country.

(unranked) This was slated at one point for 2022 so unless it makes an eleventh-hour appearance at the end of the year, I'll be hoping to see this one in 2023. :: Prays it does not go to the Zhao Ge/Golden Hairpin void :: Update 8/9/23: I like it but its been months since i paused watching it. I will get back to it.

13. Crônicas de Arthdal 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
(leaving this -unranked- at the bottom) I abso-fricking-lutely did not like Arthdal Chronicles and dropped it like a rotten hot potato. Alas my dear Horatio, Lee Joon Gi is the lead in the second season so as my No 1 beloved Kdrama Male Actor, I gotta give it at least a two episode attempt. So I'm here, with no so baited breath.
