Zenyalore Kisses

A cozy Asian drama review blog focused on first kisses, swoony moments, and storytelling magic run by Zen-ah, your romantic drama bestie.


🌧️💔 Welcome to the Rom-Com Betrayal Files 💔🌧️

A manga-style illustration of a sad, pastel-haired girl (Zen Fangirl) wrapped in a lavender blanket, holding a cup of tea. Tears stream from her big expressive eyes as she stares into the distance in heartbreak. Rain falls softly around her with sparkles and stars in the background. The text reads: “Rom-Com Betrayal Files: When K-Dramas Break Your Heart. Swoons expected. Sadness delivered.” The bottom right includes the Zenyalore Kisses blog badge with a keyboard, wings, and crown.

There I was… heart open, tea in hand, ready to be swept off my feet by bubbly banter, dreamy kisses, and a love story that would make my inner fangirl spin like a drama opening montage.

A manga-inspired graphic on a soft purple background with teardrops, sparkles, and broken heart doodles. A bold speech bubble contains the text: “I went in expecting a rom-com. What I got… was emotional whiplash.” Below it is a pastel label that says: “Filed under: Kissless Sadness” with a broken heart icon.

I went in expecting a rom-com.
What I got… was emotional whiplash, melodrama meltdowns, and angst I did not sign up for. 😩

This series is dedicated to the dramas I wanted to love, the ones that promised swoons and sunshine, but instead handed me sorrow and sobfests. Are they bad dramas? Nope. They just weren’t the cozy, kiss-by-episode-6, “he fell first” love fests I was looking for. And that’s okay!

If these are your cup of tea? I raise my mug to you. ☕💖
But as for me? I’m moving on, with glitter, closure, and maybe a few dramatic sighs along the way.

A pastel purple infographic titled “The Emotional Whiplash Scale,” decorated with sparkles, hearts, and teardrops. A horizontal scale runs from “Fluffy Swoon” on the left (with a soft cloud icon) to “Betrayal Meltdown” on the right (with a dark raincloud icon). In the center is a pink heart with a band-aid and a speech bubble that says, “Screaming into a romance void.” At the bottom right is a cartoon girl with lavender hair, crying dramatically, while a teacup and swirly sparkles sit to the left. The overall style is cute, manga-inspired, and whimsically emotional.

So if you, too, have ever pressed play expecting sweet kisses and found yourself emotionally betrayed by the drama gods… you’re not alone. This space is for the romantics who got ambushed by angst, the kiss-hungry viewers who were served breakup bread crumbs, and anyone who’s yelled “WHO ORDERED THE SADNESS?!” at their screen.

✨ Stay tuned, sparkle squad. First case file drops this Friday:
