ATHENA: Episode 13
by | February 19, 2011 | 38 Comments
Ack! Jung Woo knows! He knows! I’m so proud – our Jung Woo is not as dumb as we think he is! Or is he? I felt that this episode was a step back from the build-up of the previous three. When you have so much plot and excitement going into this episode, the writers... More »

The first preview has been released for MBC’s Royal Family, which follows My Princess but bears very little resemblance to that show, despite the similarity in their names. Where My Princess is fluffy and romance-centric, Royal Family is going for a darker, more serious vibe, as you can see in the video The “royal” part... More »

Noh Min-woo gets in bed for Midas
by | February 19, 2011 | 93 Comments
Funny what a difference one project makes: After Pasta and My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, all I could muster for Pretty Emo Boy Noh Min-woo was indifference. Then you put him in four episodes of ’80s-music-themed Rock Rock Rock, and suddenly he’s adorable, energetic, and emotive. I’m hoping it’s the latter Noh Min-woo we get... More »

ATHENA: Episode 12
by | February 18, 2011 | 28 Comments
I know I’ve said all kinds of things about Athena. Mostly bad things. Okay, all of them were bad. Let me tell you, though, that this episode is full of win. Maybe it’s some kind of Stockholm Syndrome, or maybe it really was the most entertaining episode since it begun. Either way, Athena found its... More »

Gu Hye-sun sets up film production company
by | February 18, 2011 | 131 Comments
Actress-director Gu Hye-sun has established her own company, Gu Hye-sun Film, and had in fact set it up back when she was filming her first feature film, Magic. The company is more of a formality than anything, as it employs no workers and is not planning to operate on a grand scale. It’s a one-woman... More »

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Cute has returned! All hail the return of The Cute! Someone please, throw us a royal ball in The Cute’s honor. It’s the least you could do for dragging us through such nonsense and boredom. I mean, what’s a princess gotta do for a royal party up in this house?... More »

Body-possessing fantasy drama 49 Days has added another actor to its cast: rookie actress Bae Geu-rin, whom you may recognize from You’re Beautiful, where she played A.N.JELL’s excitable fan club president. She was also in the dark Friend, Our Legend prior to that, which is where I first took notice of her. 49 Days has... More »
