Cinderella’s Sister: Episode 11

Personal Taste: Episode 12
With most of the anticipated angst swiftly dealt out of the way in the last episode (SO green with envy this week, javabeans), we enter a new stage of development concerning “The Secret of Sang-go-jae.” A clever title, since the meaning is threefold: the secret of Sang-go-jae’s design, the family secret that the house contains,...

Oh My Lady: Episode 13
The drama is stepping things up, which is a good sign since I thought the last two episodes were already a marked improvement.

On the set of Cinderella’s Sister
After all the angst and tears that have characterized Cinderella’s Sister recently, I have to say it’s refreshing to take a look at the following series of photos. They’re from the set of the KBS drama and give us a behind-the-scenes look at the cast when they’re not all doom and gloom. (I particularly like... More »

Coffee House couple photos, Eun-jung’s MV stills
(Gah, I keep writing Coffee Prince accidentally instead of Coffee House. Did they not anticipate this association? Then again, perhaps they did and made it on purpose.) Anyway. Here are a few new stills from SBS’s Coffee House. I know there were a lot of questions about who was the real female lead in the... More »
