City Hunter: Episode 4
HUZZAH. Well that seals it. While the first two episodes were great fun, with Episodes 3 and 4, I’m in LOVE. Maybe it’s something in the water, but this drama hits me right in that comic-book action-hero sweet spot: caped crusader fighting against the system, and growing up in the process. Just not, yunno, literally... More »

Romance Town: Episode 7
I’ll try to give a “deep” recap without explaining my own personal “fairy tale” and how I want the drama to progress. After all, some people think my recaps are “thin” and “lack substance.” Oh but whoops – I’m writing this intro after I’ve written the recap – and I’ve “squee’d” a tad too much... More »

Han Ye-seul, Song Joong-ki’s Penny-Pinching Romance
Filming ended a few weeks ago on Han Ye-seul and Song Joong-ki‘s new film, Penny-Pinching Romance, which gives us these new stills of the two leads. The title alludes to a saying that means roughly “a penny saved is a penny earned,” and refers to Han’s frugal character. The plot sounds cute, and the new... More »

Javabeans’ Playlist #2: Old fogey edition!
Here are some songs guaranteed to make you feel old. Or really, really young. If you don’t know a song on this list or have a nostalgic ’90s memory to accompany it with, I don’t think I wanna talk to you today. Shinhwa – “으쌰! 으쌰!” (eusha! eusha!). I DARE you to get this... More »

City Hunter: Episode 3
Ahh, my initial liking for City Hunter just bloomed into love. It’s slickly packaged, yet manages to keep a sense of heart. That’s not easy to accomplish — and to make that feel so effortless on top of it all is impressive. On top of that, I’m in love with the tone of this drama.... More »

Jae Hee injured, drops drama
*wails* Nooooooooo! Jae Hee’s much-awaited (by me, at least) comeback has been put off indefinitely due to injury, which means he’ll be dropping out of the weekend MBC drama Hooray For Love that he’d just been cast in. Boo and sadness. His character was to be the lead opposite Lee Bo-young, a sharp, perfect-on-the-outside playboy... More »

Ripley’s Park Yoochun and Kang Hye-jung looking cute
Looks like the second lead is finally getting some more face time with the hero. These latest stills from Miss Ripley‘s upcoming Episode 4 show stars Park Yoochun and Kang Hye-jung finally connecting over a “flower date.” Looks more like flower-shopping than a date, but I’m excited to see these characters have more screentime together,...

Best Love: Episode 10
It’s just the way I like it: Superheroes Over Flowers, as the boys step up their game and leave us all spun around in the process. Will Iron Man get a new heart? Will Spiderman sell his friend up the river for pastries? Will this drama ever stop being awesome? Best Love hit a series... More »
