What’s Up: Episode 16
by | January 27, 2012 | 4 Comments
Whoa. I fervently request that all remaining episodes – however many it may be, because I REFUSE to count down – be 90-minutes long each. At it’s rate, it’s going to be difficult to resolve everything when each episode is only 45-50 minutes long, and the drama is just starting to... More »

I really appreciate that things are moving swiftly along, as girlfriday pointed out in yesterday’s recap. It’s so much more satisfying when the show remains a step ahead of you instead of broadcasting everything far in advance and cluttering up your path with obvious angsty obstacles, so that the only...

Being obsessed with a show has a double-edged sword; when things are going well, it’s great. When things go exactly the way you want them to, and/or turn out to be better than you expected, it increases the level of fandom. And that’s difficult for me because I can’t go... More »

Damn, some guys just have that old school movie star look about them that blows all the flower boys out of the water. Why is Ji Jin-hee (Take Care of Us Captain, Dong Yi) looking so good? It probably helps that he’s sporting a ruggedly handsome look in the first... More »
