Seo Ji-seok is The Manny
by | March 18, 2011 | 60 Comments
Oh, Korea. You and your almost-but-not-quite-sensical titles. This time it’s a cable drama called Manny, which is a mishmash of MAN + NANNY.

Dear Reaper Boy: TAKE ME WITH YOU. Promise me when it’s my time to go, you’ll still be wearing Jung Il-woo? Rawr. I’m really digging the premise and the setup of this story. The execution leaves a little to be desired as of yet, but there’s a lot of potential to for it to grow... More »
