Friday Drama Review – “Queen of Ambition”
Monarch of Madness? Perhaps Not. Ambition. Passion. Revenge.

Friday Drama Review: “Romance Town”
Bad Title for a Good Drama This drama had been on my “To Be Watched” list for quite some time as I had seen it on a few ‘Must See’ lists, but I’d been postponing because the synopses I had read did not seem that intriguing and the title gave it more of an American…
