Dr. Champ: Episode 14
by | November 14, 2010 | 61 Comments
Although it fell in some clichéd scenarios, played with our distrust and waryness for some possible upcoming tragedy and its romantic storyline was still a bit draggy; I felt this episode as something organic and logical for the most part.

Choi Kang-hee manhandles Lee Seon-kyun in Petty Romance
by | November 13, 2010 | 39 Comments
Romantic-comedy Petty Romance sure has some silly posters, doesn’t it?
