Midas gets a 1-episode extension
by | April 29, 2011 | 45 Comments
Not that we’re surprised (are we?), but SBS’s Midas is getting one extra episode and will now end with episode 21 rather than the initially announced 20. I say it’s no surprise because the drama’s been “off-schedule” since practically the beginning, meaning that its last episode would have come on a Monday instead of a... More »

Romance Town unveils its posters
by | April 29, 2011 | 31 Comments
Romance Town unveils its main posters, which are frothy and cute, as I hope the drama also will be. The one above is my favorite, because it conveys a vibe that’s a bit different than what we’ve come to expect of K-dramas.

49 Days: Episode 14
by | April 28, 2011 | 344 Comments
You know what I love about this drama? It’s not subtle or new or anything, but damn if it isn’t addictively satisfying. It does something that few dramas do—it keeps changing the game, little by little each time, and it actually allows characters to figure things out before we’re left pulling our hair out in...

My interest level in upcoming fusion sageuk Warrior Baek Dong-soo just shot up about a million points with the addition of Yoo Seung-ho, aka Little So Ji-sub, aka Korea’s Little Brother, aka poster boy for the Inappropriate Crushes on Much Younger Men Club. The Joseon-era drama will feature its martial arts angle prominently, which’ll come... More »
