IRIS: Episodes 14-15
by | January 24, 2010 | 10 Comments

Wish Upon a Star: Episode 5
by | January 23, 2010 | 86 Comments
All right, all right, so I lied (twice). I honestly didn’t think I’d feel compelled to continue recapping this drama, and I expected youth hit God of Study and/or light-n-sweet Pasta to trump the good-natured Wish Upon a Star. But those other two have started lagging while my interest in this one keeps building, so... More »

by | January 22, 2010 | 132 Comments
I think this is going to be my last Pasta recap. I’m enjoying this series for the chemistry between Lee Seon-kyun and Gong Hyo-jin and I still think that there are solid elements to this drama, but given the landscape at the moment, it’s just not commanding my attention. I’ll explain more below. SONG OF... More »

Will It Snow For Christmas: Episode 14
by | January 21, 2010 | 49 Comments
Great episode! I’m so glad I didn’t let yesterday’s episode bum me out too much, because there were a lot of fantastic moments in this episode, which was a particularly nice one for Go Soo. (I know there have been some comments complaining that all he does is glare silently; he moves past that here.)... More »
