Dahlia in Bloom

This is gonna be a really, really short write up. I watched one episode of Dahlia in Bloom back in August and haven't picked it up again. Outwardly, it seems like it would have all the elements I like -- it's an isekai, a (supposed to be) talented female lead, craftiness....

I mean, here's the summary:

Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools

After a workaholic life in Japan, Dahlia is reborn as a magical maven in a new world, but her afterlife takes an unexpected turn. Engaged, betrayed, and orphaned—all before the honeymoon? Talk about a plot twist! Watch as Dahlia turns heartbreak into wand-making brilliance and declares her independence. In this story, the real magic is self-discovery, and Dahlia’s the sorceress of her own destiny.

But...meh, I found it bland. And when you meet her in her new life, it's as a child BUT she seems to have no recollection of her previous life even after she's an adult (by the end of that first episode). And while she seemed like a child prodigy, that apparently didn't continue after she was grown and...I dunno. It just didn't hit me. 

It got great reviews in places so I'm sure it's fine. But there's too many other shows so I'm just noting it here so I remember that I tried it.
