Feelings / Neukkim / 느낌 (1994)
With the start of MBC’s new drama Air City, my somewhat dormant crush on Lee Jung Jae woke up in full force and slapped me in the face. Sure, I’d seen (and enjoyed) some of his movies, like 2001′s Il Mare (시월애 / siwole) with Jeon Ji Hyun, but I’m a drama series freak at... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 5
It makes me sad that more people aren’t watching Flowers For My Life. It’s a series that shows that kdramas can be touching without being sappy, and funny without being jokey and gag-based. Funny how a series handling death can be so delightful. Episode 5 was the first to make me cry, though not because... More »

Air City: Episode 3
A cute episode, which sounds a bit strange given that it’s as action-packed as before. But with Lee Jung Jae and Choi Ji Woo‘s crackling chemistry showing through in a bit of flirty conversation, the cute factor rates just as high. The director of Air City has done a really wonderful job pacing the episodes,... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 4
Hana and Ho Sang began warming up to each other in the last episode, but now we start seeing them starting to fall for each other more. In true Hana style, she handles it hilariously. Someone told me they had a good friend just like Hana, and I can only wish I had one too.... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 3
Flowers For My Life is a rare find. I absolutely love it. It’s so laugh-out-loud funny in a smart, unexpected way. If it continues like this, it may not just become my favorite drama of the moment or season, but join the few on my all-time list. I can’t wait for the subs to come... More »

Que Sera Sera ending clarification, kind of
Que Sera Sera has been over for a week, but its effect is not gone. ginnie and Ty sent me interviews that director Kim Yoon Chul gave after the show wrapped. There’s been some debate as to the meaning of the ending. These excerpts may set your minds at ease — it does for me.... More »

Air City: Episodes 1-2
. MBC’s new weekend drama AIR CITY promised a lot — being the return vehicles for big-time stars Lee Jung Jae and Choi Jiwoo — and its first episodes turned out to deliver. The series is laden with star power, and it looks spectacular. MBC really sank a ton of money into this production, and... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 2
I’m really liking Flowers For My Life a lot. It’s hard to describe the tone by comparing it to other kdramas — it’s not a melodrama. It’s not thriller, action, or family drama. It’s not a trendy drama. And it’s not even a straight “dramatic” drama. It’s hilariously funny — I find myself laughing out... More »

War of Money / Money Warfare
. SBS’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama, War of Money (쩐의 전쟁), kicked off to a healthy ratings start in the 16%-17% range, then jumped up to above 24% for its second episode. That’s enough of a leap to be considered noteworthy. (And anything above 20% in its first week is quite a feat.) This drama had... More »
