Return of Iljimae: Episode 21
This episode really gets the action going, which is welcome because, as I mentioned in the previous recap, I prefer more personal storylines to politics. Not that politics is bad — it adds depth and historical context, certainly — but I like both in a nice balance. SONG OF THE DAY Return of Iljimae OST... More »

Song Seung-heon’s photo shoot for W
I have no idea what exactly it is that actor Song Seung-heon (East of Eden) is doing holding onto two dangling pieces of string in a dark cave while flexing his abs, but I suppose that’s hardly the point. Well, aside from the flexing abs part of it. These new photos take on the theme... More »

Drinking interview with Han Hyo-joo (Part 2)
Continuing from Part 1 of the drinking interview with Han Hyo-joo, here’s Part 2: “No more talk of scandals… I’ve been hurt a lot” What drinking habits do you have? Nothing in particular.

Return of Iljimae: Episode 20
Return of Iljimae is back! I know, I know, it’s been ages since I started this drama. I’ve been determined to finish it for a long time, but time kept slipping away from me. I figured that having a goal to shoot for would help move things along, so in honor of Jung Il-woo‘s upcoming... More »

Drinking interview with Han Hyo-joo (Part 1)
The last (and first) drinking interview I posted was with Kang Ji-hwan (Part 1 and Part 2). Here’s a new one featuring Han Hyo-joo, recent star of SBS’s hit weekend show Brilliant Legacy. Like Kang Ji-hwan’s, this one is also divided into two parts (Part 2 will be up soon!). “I haven’t had any... More »

Tamra the Island: Episode 2
Funny and sweet. The characters are lively and the scenery continues to be gorgeous; the island setting and time period give this drama a bright dash of whimsy. Like with Episode 1, there are still some rough patches, but on the whole I got a kick out of this episode. Seo Woo is not only... More »
