KBS’s Sons of Sol Pharmacy House is currently the top weekend drama (its last episode on the 16th pulled in a 36.3%), and the station has announced a four-episode extension.

My Fair Lady: Episode 2
I liked this episode better than Episode 1, not least because of Jung Il-woo! Well, he’s one reason, but I also thought the story was tighter and, as I was hoping, Yoon Eun-hye got to move away from the awkward rich-bitch acting and showed some more emotion.

A couple months ago, I mentioned a new movie called Paju starring Seo Woo and Lee Seon-kyun.

My Fair Lady: Episode 1
I’ve talked about this drama a lot recently, but on a personal level I’ve been trying to keep expectations down, since the dramas I’ve most anticipated in recent months have generally fallen short of those hopes (Boys Before Flowers, Triple). And as I watched the first episode, I thought my fears were well-founded, because it... More »

Return of Iljimae: Episode 24 (Final)
Ahhhh, another great drama ends. Even though it took me forever to finish writing about this drama, I have to say that it’s one of the best I’ve seen in recent memory. I’m sorry to see it end and wish we had more offerings like it — directed with confidence, filmed with breathtaking scenery, acted... More »
