Dr. Champ: Episode 8
This drama’s one word definition is: adorable. I can’t really say what happens in each episode, but I can sure say that I’m left with indescribable warmth and a silly smile. I guess that’s love, the utopian, the juvenile, the immature love that you know won’t be the definitive. However, many years in the future,... More »

The boys of It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl
Now that we know Moon Chae-won will head the upcoming SBS drama It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl, it’s time to turn our attention to the boys. All are relative newbies to the acting sphere, two of them coming from the idol-pop-star world (gulp), but let’s hope they surprise us with hitherto-untapped acting talent. Daddy’s Girl features...

Jo Seung-woo makes stealthy exit from military service
Two years ago, Jo Seung-woo made a quiet entry into military service, and he made an equally quiet discharge on October 22. In fact, he took particular pains to effect a stealth exit, as he was initially scheduled to make his official discharge the next day. However, he was able to use unclaimed leave days... More »

Dr. Champ: Episode 7
Terribly sorry for the delay. While I have been slow with this recap, this episode has been moving fast. I love that this drama keeps moving along with the plot points, and while there are certain things that keep getting reused as obstacles, they’re not so unbelievable that I’m getting tired of the trope. So... More »

Petty Romance sheds some clothes…but not enough
“Now THAT’s what I’m talkin’ about!” … is what I said when I first saw this new poster for Petty Romance. Because the poster for sex-columnist-meets-adult-comics-writer should be showing some skin, yeah? Oh, like YOU didn’t want to see Lee Seon-kyun nekkid. But then I scrolled down, and saw that not only is he NOT... More »

Official poster and release date for Late Autumn
Listen, it’ll be a miracle if I say anything coherent in this post, because WHY SO PRETTY? I’m a fan of the scruffy look on any guy, but on Hyun Bin, it pretty much takes the cake. And the frosting on top. The official poster and release date have been announced for 60s classic remake... More »

Joseon X-Files: Episode 7
Oh man, this episode is brilliant. The more I think on it, the more brilliant it becomes. If we gave this the U.S. television treatment, this would be the episode winning a bunch of Emmys. I understand if it was confusing for viewers, though, because it’s not an episode whose message is clearly spelled out... More »

Kim Ji-soo’s DUI won’t keep her out of drama
Looks like KBS is standing by leading lady Kim Ji-soo, and will not be cutting her from her upcoming sageuk drama King Geunchogo despite the controversy over her drunk hit-and-run accident a couple weeks ago. The timing of the accident was uncomfortably close to the premiere of KBS’s new big-budget production, which had producers and... More »
