Open Thread #6
Don’t really have a “topic” to kick off this Open Thread today… So I’ll just ramble (and you all say, “Don’t you always?”). It’s raining. Ooh, my favorite weather. I plan to get lots of “curling up with a good book” done this evening. One of those books may include Stephen Colbert’s I Am America... More »

Mixed-up Investigative Agency: Case 15
What an excellent episode. By far the best to date. Episode 15 had everything — adventure, mystery, suspense, emotion, depth, and yet another well-done cliffhanger ending. In fact, it rather felt like a mini-movie more than an episode of television because of the way it skillfully brought the tension to a head; and yet, there... More »

How was 2007 for you?
Wow, 2007 really flew by. I can’t believe it’s almost over. And I can’t believe I’ve been at this blog for nearly a year. This time of year inevitably means people start busting out the year-end lists of best and worst. For instance, this poll at Naver listed the Top 11 Dramas of the past... More »

Mixed-up Investigative Agency: Case 14
Seriously, just when I think there isn’t room for any more twists, Mixed-up Investigative Agency throws another one in. I’ve never seen such a tightly plotted series before, not even Veronica Mars. Here, it seems like not only are many clues peppered throughout all the episodes from the beginning, not one clue is wasted. SONG... More »

Taiwan readies for the Coffee Prince craze
Check out that new hair! I admit I’m partial to the longer, Han Gyul-ian look on Gong Yoo (like this, for instance), but the new look’s kinda sharp and spiffy. Anyway, Gong Yoo recently gave an interview (on the 27th) to eight major Taiwanese media outlets regarding the series Coffee Prince. Although the series... More »

Jang Dong Gun played him in one film version in 1993, and Choi Su Jong played him in a modernized version in... More »

Which super-cute actor would voluntarily do this to himself?
Um, wow. Apparently this fresh-faced actor appeared at MKMF in female rocker getup — but he found himself disappointed because nobody recognized him, as he explained when appearing on Mnet’s Star Watch 24 to be aired on the 28th. Perhaps it was because he was in the opening act and not many people saw him,... More »
