Shin Mina goes old Hollywood for Bazaar
I have such a fondness for Hollywood classics, and adore once-gumiho Shin Mina (My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho). Naturally, when I get two things I love wrapped in one, that makes me one happy camper. ‘S like math. This photo shoot for Harper’s Bazaar shows Shin taking on the guise of various scenes from familiar... More »

Best Love: Episode 6
Best Love just gets better and better. It really stepped it up this week — last week I was chuckling and enjoying the wacky, and this week I am INVESTED, yo. Like, hardcore. These characters are just so well acted — not, perhaps, as well-written (they’re familiar types), but the performances really elevate them. Plus,... More »

49 Days: Episode 20 (Final)
If I tried to explain this episode in a paragraph, I think I’d spill more tears, and frankly, I don’t know if I have any left. So here it is in a nutshell: It’s FUCKING PERFECT. Gah. Okay, fine, it’s maybe a hair shy of perfect, but damn if it isn’t the most satisfying ending... More »

Best Love: Episode 5
Yay, what a zippy, fun, character-development-packed episode. Plus there are more puns, zany references, running jokes — I’m nigh drowning in them. In a good way, of course. It’s also the first episode that got to me emotionally, which is GREAT. I love that phase of a drama that goes from pure comedy to emotional... More »

49 Days: Episode 19
Oh man, I think I’m out of tears. 49 Days, you owe me tears! Like, a bucketload of them — I need to rehydrate. Drama, I’ll accept my payment in lattes, please. How can a story with such sad elements be so satisfying? We start wrapping up our story threads, but the drama still manages... More »

Lee Byung-heon’s black and white High Cut shoot
Lee Byung-heon (IRIS) sort of looks the same in every single photo shoot he’s ever taken… But when you look as good as he does — and for so many years, without seemingly aging — who needs variety? (Seriously, he turns 41 this year, and he still looks just like he did in A Bittersweet... More »

Lie To Me: Episode 4
Yay, the brothers meet! And it’s not only cute, but I’m finally getting emotionally invested. It’s actually the brothers’ relationship that ends up pulling me in, go figure. Glad they didn’t go melodrama-on-melodrama with them, despite the tragic love triangle setup. It’s not without some melodramatic flair, but it’s kept realistic in its core relationship,... More »
