Horror flick Chaw sells to 15 countries
The horror movie Chaw [차우] always struck me as a B-list premise — killer pig runs wild! chaos and carnage ensue! — but the thing that kept me from writing it off was Uhm Tae-woong (Devil) and Jung Yumi (Que Sera Sera).

Story of a Man: Episode 14
How does this drama keep getting better? Episode 14 was even better than Episode 13, and each scene kept me excited.

Story of a Man: Episode 13
This episode was so good I was sorry I didn’t have the time to get to it sooner. Some of the stuff I saw coming, but it was so well set-up that that doesn’t bother me. Also, what this drama does well is mixing in its intense moments with humor — you wouldn’t think a... More »

Honey Lee added to Partner
I know, Partner hasn’t even started and you’re already sick of it! I swear, this’ll be my last post on this drama for a while. Still, I was pleased to see that Honey Lee is the latest addition to the legal drama (I really like her, even though I’ve never seen her act before; it’s... More »
