Mary Stayed Out All Night: Episode 5
Oh, jealousy. You always manage to brighten up my day — in a drama, that is. And of all these characters, I’m thrilled that the first one to demonstrate any is the one who makes it most deliciously fun to watch: Mu-gyul the indifferent.

Joseon X-Files: Episode 10
I liked this episode a lot. I appreciate that the writers have taken the care to alternate lighter, funnier episodes with the darker, creepier, and/or more intense ones. The plot in this one is of a stand-alone nature, but since it involves all three members of our Team X-Files, I’m happy. Plus, even though the... More »

Cha Tae-hyun goes carnie for Vogue
What is WITH the crazy fashion spreads lately? Did I win the lottery? I’ve certainly been a good girl this year, so maybe they’re early Christmas presents from Santa. All I know is, there’s definitely something in the water over at those magazine shoots. It’s like they’re just BEGGING for some snark. I mean, how... More »

Oh… The most beautiful (visually speaking – yes, I loved screencapping this one) drama of the year is about to end, and I’m as happy as a k-drama watcher can be, with a most satisfying ending after weeks of obsessing over such beloved characters.
