Protect the Boss posters and character stills
by | July 22, 2011 | 118 Comments
We’ve got posters and character promo stills out for SBS’s Protect the Boss, and I have to say that this drama is slowly growing on me with what appears to be an offbeat, wacky vibe. It just may be quirky enough to work. I wasn’t initially too enthralled by the chaebol hero and the boss-secretary... More »

Hello everyone! It’s me again, kaedejun. Girlfriday and Javabeans were sufficiently warned to keep their hands off of Kang Min Hyuk, even though we’re all cougars to that cute little drummer boy.

City Hunter: Episode 17
by | July 20, 2011 | 434 Comments
This show? It’s like Shakespeare on acid. Or watching Confucius kick Shakespeare’s ass. Or if Confucius and Shakespeare had a lovechild, it’d be City Hunter. Is anyone else’s head hurty with the daddy issues? Somebody please give this boy a hug. I’m scared for what’s around the corner. Tags: City Hunter, featured, Lee Jun-hyuk, Lee... More »
