MBC’s sageuk drama Dong Yi ended on Tuesday, October 12, wrapping up an eight-month-long run.

Playful Kiss: Episode 12
by | October 12, 2010 | 479 Comments
I won’t lie. This episode was not easy to recap. I don’t have stellar expectations for this show to begin with, so I’m usually easy to please when it comes to Playful Kiss. Be cute. The end.

WHY IS HE SO PRETTY. I know that refrain is going to get old, real fast, so I promise to try to cut it out from here on out. But seriously, Jang Geun-seok looks even more like a beautiful woman now, playing a hippie-boho musician in Mary Stayed Out All Night, than he did playing... More »

Hard-bodied athletes frolicking on the beach? Yeah, that’s just one reason to watch Dr. Champ (or technically about a dozen reasons, if you count ‘em individually).
