Can’t Lose: Episode 18 (Final)
What a heartwarming, funny, adorable finale for a heartwarming, funny, adorable series. You know what I love about this show? It’s just simple, steadfast, and best of all, it’s earnest. No fancy tricks, not even many surprises. But I walk away from it feeling like every character was worth meeting, and that love – real,... More »

MBC buys some time with one-act dramas
When scheduling its new Wednesday-Thursday drama Me Too, Flower, MBC had left one week of a gap between Flower’s premiere and end of Can’t Lose. I’d been wondering what they’d use to fill that time, and turns out they’ve slotted in a few one-act specials (both of which have previously aired) as a stopgap. I... More »

Yoo Ah-in in fall/winter fashion for Bazaar
I rather like the way Yoo Ah-in cleans up. He still retains enough of his badboy streak to stay left of center, and remain intriguing. Or perhaps I’m just helpless at the sight of his pouty lips. His new film Wandeuki opens today, and if the trailer is any indication, it looks funny, heartwarming, and... More »

Can’t Lose: Episode 17
As we head into the finale, ends are tied, realizations are come upon, and decisions made. It’s funny to think of how many times this couple has circled around each other, almost reuniting but the pulled back by some badly timed reminder that they’re just not ready for it yet. Normally these forces keeping a... More »

Han Ga-in (Bad Guy) poses for a fashion spread in InStyle, with a quick jaunt over to Paris for the shoot. Mr. Han Ga-in gets to stay behind and catch killers and drink blood that gives him migraines, while she gets to look awesome in retro fall fashions in France. I think she wins this... More »
