Boys Before Flowers: Episode 11
I was really annoyed with Episode 11 for the first half. I mean, REALLY dissatisfied. What happened to character continuity, yo? At least the second half made it better. Not ALL better, but it helped erase the irritation wrought by the first part. (The viewers didn’t seem to mind, though — yet again, ratings hit... More »

A day behind the scenes of Boys Before Flowers
Two articles are out today that take a look around the filming location and behind the scenes of the ever-popular Boys Before Flowers.

Return of Iljimae: Episode 4
Sorry for the delay! It wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy this episode — I watched it right away but didn’t have the time to devote to a recap till recently.

From the set of Insadong Scandal
I can’t say I’m exactly excited about the new art-themed movie Insadong Scandal, but I do really like Kim Rae-won (Gourmet), who acts with an effortless charm.
