Random Friday song
by | March 30, 2007 | 23 Comments
This entry is totally just an excuse to post a song, but whatever, it’s Friday! You know, JEON HYE BIN (aka Bin, aka Seung Mi in Witch Amusement) is one of those actresses who apparently has a lot of anti’s, and although I don’t know why, I could kind of understand, because before Witch Amusement,...

Witch Amusement: Episode 3
by | March 29, 2007 | 16 Comments
Witch Amusement is getting better and better! What makes this show so enjoyable is its ability to take situations and characters that you’ve seen before but somehow make them entertaining, without seeming recycled. Also, today’s episode was the first one that, in addition to making me laugh as usual, also really had moving moments. But... More »

Fansubbing the Korean Language
by | March 27, 2007 | 47 Comments
Now that With S2 has just released the rest of Dal Ja’s Spring to finish our 30th project (30 kdramas! In just over a year!), I had a few thoughts on fansubbing as a whole… The more I fansub and translate, the more I’ve gotten comfortable recognizing wordplay in Korean, which I always get a...

Random Song Comparison: DAL JA, AEGISSHI
by | March 27, 2007 | 14 Comments
. I was listening to the newly released OST for the new show Hello! Miss, which is cute and lively to match the cute and lively show itself. I’m a big fan of music (could you tell?) and drama soundtracks, because I think the songs used in a show do a tremendous job of establishing... More »

Que Sera Sera: Episode 3
by | March 25, 2007 | 33 Comments
I now officially love Que Sera Sera. It took me a little longer to warm up to than some other recent favorites, but it was worth the extra consideration. QSS is fresh, charming, funny, and thoughtful. SONG OF THE DAY Yi Sung Yol – “Us” (이승열 – “우리는”) (This is the song used in Episode... More »

This week alone, we have the premieres of: Que Sera Sera, Hello! Miss, Witch Amusement, Thank You, Devil (Mawang), H.I.T… Seriously, I don’t know where I’ll get the time.... More »

Witch Amusement: Episode 2
by | March 22, 2007 | 27 Comments
Episode 2 was so much fun!! Fans of My Girl shouldn’t miss this show — it has the same fast-paced, cheeky charm, but the stories are so different that it won’t feel like a rehash. I think watching Que Sera Sera and Witch Amusement will provide me a nice balance — QSS has the potential... More »

Witch Yoo Hee (Witch Amusement)
by | March 21, 2007 | 61 Comments
As I’ve said before, there are a few directors whom I’ll follow from project to project based on the strength of their prior work. Jeon Ki Sang is definitely one of them. I fell in love with his work — his direction, artistic styling, comedic timing, editing — in 2005′s Delightful Girl Choon Hyang, and... More »

Que Sera Sera: Episode 2
by | March 19, 2007 | 22 Comments
After the first episode, I felt Que Sera Sera could go either of two ways — darker and more somber, or more upbeat. I have nothing against somber, sad dramas — I’m sure there are some very good ones — but I generally won’t watch them. I find enough to cry about in the happy,... More »
