    We're now hitting the high summer season and all of the major platforms are releasing what they hope will be the smash hit of the summer. There's thrillers including The Seven Relics of Ill Omen. There's spy dramas such as Deep Undercover. There's period romance dramas including The Princess's Gambit, A Dream Within a Dream, In the Name of the Blossom, and Qing Chuan's Veil of Vengeance. But the biggest winner so far is the modern day case thriller In the Name of Justice. Listen to our latest podcast episode as we have been watching several of these dramas!

I'm a few episodes into the portion dealing with Empresses in the Palace, and I already know I'll listen. to the entire podcast -- likely more than once.

It's obvious that a significant amount of time and work went into each episode; the recaps often point out a previously missed detail that deepens my appreciation of the show, as do many of the explanations.

I already hope for two things: I hope you continue to add to this (Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace? The Story of Yanxi Palace?) and that after covering the episodes of these shows you consider themed episodes. I would love discussions of how the architecture affected the relationships, how food symbolized or reflected hierarchy, and all sorts of more specific subjects!

The early delivery seems a bit fast, but I think this podcast could blossom and be a perennial.

More, please!
