First stills from Triple
There are two more months till MBC’s Triple airs, and now we get our first look at our main character, Min Hyo-rin, who’s frankly taken a bit of a publicity backseat compared to her more famous co-stars (Lee Hana, Lee Jung-jae, Lee Seon-kyun, Yoon Kye-sang). Filming commenced for the series in March, and recently took... More »

Story of a Man / The Slingshot
Hahahaha. You know what’s funny about my taste in dramas? How utterly unpredictable it is. After the messiness of East of Eden and the overhypedness of Cain & Abel, I thought I’d probably hate KBS’s new thriller drama Story of A Man [남자이야기], or at least be bored by it. On the contrary: This is... More »

Queen of Housewives (MBC)
I found MBC’s Monday-Tuesday drama Queen of Housewives [내조의 여왕] to be a pleasant surprise, as I hadn’t had any expectations for it. At first glance, it’s possible to dismiss this show from its unexciting synopsis and a cast that may be solid but not quite buzzworthy. But no, Queen of Housewives is light and... More »

Return of Iljimae: Episode 14
I’m sorry, Return of Iljimae. It’s like you were the good kid, doing everything right, being perfect and thoughtful and all-around delightful, and yet your troublemaking, problematic, charismatic kid brother Boys Before Flowers got all the attention.

Younha’s new album and “lovely girl” image
It’s not really a new image — recall that kpop singer Younha had also unveiled a more feminine look for her second album last summer. And Younha (aka the “Oricon comet” given her success on Japan’s pop charts before debuting in Korea) has always been very pretty. But she’s gone a little softer than her... More »
