You’re My Pet releases yet another saucy poster
Another poster for You’re My Pet! To be honest, I’m not even that excited about this movie (it looks super-cute and fluffy, but I have no great expectations of it), but they do have some pretty eye-catching promotional materials. Kudos to the marketing team, you get a cookie. In the latest one, the tagline reads,... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 2
Why do I like this show? It’s Angel-meets-Bones. What’s not to like? (Okay, it’s more like if Angel were the Batman to Booth’s Bruce Wayne and he starred in an episode of CSI. Details.) It’s glossy and rapid-fire, and the narrative setup is one that follows the tried-and-true American procedural down to the letter. But... More »

High Kick 3: Episodes 10-13
Week 3! High Kick 3 is continuing along nicely. I don’t watch it expecting to laugh out loud, although it’s been managing a nicely light, humorous tone. But where it really shines is in the poignant character beats, the stuff that happens between plot points when a connection is made, a friendship struck. Best of... More »

Lee Beom-soo and Lee Min-jung for Salaryman?
Some say it’s a done deal; others say they’re still deciding. Either way, new SBS drama The History of the Salaryman has got some big names attached from the get-go. Salaryman is the new drama from the Giant team: PD Yoo In-shik and writers Jang Young-chul and Jung Kyung-soon. It looks likely that Lee Beom-soo... More »

Man of Honor releases poster, more stills
I’d known Man of Honor was about baseball, and that it was from the Baker King producers, but it wasn’t till I took a good look at these latest stills that the story and conflict really sunk in. And now that it has: Aw, man — it’s a sports drama and a total underdog success... More »

Song Joong-ki gets his face on currency
Ha. The netizens strike again with their parody and Photoshop skills. This time, they’ve taken Song Joong-ki and put him on the manwon bill (the equivalent to $10), a tie-in to his latest drama Tree With Deep Roots, where he plays King Sejong the Great in his youth. (King Sejong is also the actual face... More »

1 Night 2 Days: Episode 354
EPISODE 354. Broadcast on October 2, 2011. javabeans: Wow, finally a “regular” episode, with the Viewer Tour and various guest specials over. Although I’m not sure if it’s going to feel normal for a while, with Ho-dong gone. As we’ve seen before, even just a temporary absence can change the dynamic pretty significantly. I’m... More »
