Promo photos for Personal Taste
Promo pics are out for Personal Taste! I’ll freely admit that this is the upcoming drama that has grabbed my interest the most, partly due to its giggly-funny premise, partly due to its fab lead actors, and partly because I’m currently reading the novel. (Never fear, when I’m done I’ll write up a general review.... More »

Wish Upon a Star: Episode 14
Could these two be any more adorable? And to think, when the drama first aired, silly Pa-rang was my least favorite sibling. (For shame.) In keeping with this drama’s pattern, there are so many cute, funny, heartwarming moments that it’s too bad that there are other hateful characters muddying up the plot. On the other... More »

Chuno: Episode 10
Hi, Dahee here. Hjkomo asked me to fill in for her for recapping episode ten, as she really does like her beauty sleep and would like to get back to doing it. I happily agreed, so here I am. No worries – she’ll be back for episode twelve (and Samsooki for eleven). Ten episodes in,... More »

Posters revealed for A Man Called God
Posters are out (a whole mess of ‘em!) for MBC’s upcoming A Man Called God, and I can’t decide if I think they’re cool (a la Batman Begins) or unbearably cheesy (Batman & Robin). In the series, star Song Il-kook is back in a modern role after a couple high-profile historical ones (Jumong, Kingdom of... More »

Wish Upon a Star: Episode 13
Yay, it’s back! I suppose absence does make the heart grow fonder, because a week off with no new Wish Upon a Star episodes really whetted my appetite for a new one today. Also: I’ve been meaning to mention it for a while now, but I love baby Nami. Often the baby of a drama... More »

Taecyeon in Cinderella’s Sister
Soon after the first stills were released for Cinderella’s Sister, we have our first look at second lead Ok Taecyeon in character as Jung-woo, who grew up with a difficult (read: poor) childhood and therefore loves to eat (assuming that he didn’t have much growing up). As an adult, he’s a rather simple guy who... More »

The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry: Episode 9
Okay, it’s official; this drama has made me its bitch. If I were watching it post-season, it would be one sixteen-hour run with a bedpan, a caffeine drip, and a case of that rice wine they’re always drinking. True to form, we breeze right past the bet storyline in one episode, and now we get... More »
