Wish Upon a Star: Episode 17
I liked this episode — it was a little mellower than the previous ones. Given the prominence of Jae-young’s dramatics in those prior episodes, I consider this a good thing.

Personal Taste (the novel): Part 1
I got my hands on the Personal Taste novel a little while ago, and started reading to whet my appetite for the upcoming drama (March 31!). I knew I’d be interested in this story based on the general premise — a man pretends to be gay in order to room with a woman — which... More »

Two new dramas premiered this weekend, in two vastly disparate genres: KBS had its historical production Merchant Kim Man-deok, while MBC had action-hero drama A Man Called God. Both pulled in decent first-episode numbers, the former with an 11.9%, the latter with a 15.8%. The numbers only shifted slightly for the second episodes, which brought... More »
