A new rivalry springs up, and this time it’s cop-versus-prosecutor, smug-versus-eager, manchild-versus-girl, Soon-bum versus Jung-in. It adds a dash of levity to the proceedings, and I can’t wait to see the pendulum swing back the other way as they bicker and sniff at each other over whose theories are better. It’s not like they’re directly... More »

For something a little different in the way of drama offerings, there’s a late-night Saturday drama that just premiered on MBC called Night Hospital, which is billed as a medical suspense thriller starring the very underrated (in my opinion) Yoon Tae-young as a surgeon-slash-boxer. What’s not to like? Night Hospital‘s first episode drew a very... More »

The Musical: Episode 6

Oh my God Ok Joo Hyun is sexy. To be frank, I didn’t like this episode as much. For one thing, we’re still stuck at the retreat. It must be an insanely long night for all those characters, because people just keep talking and talking, and daylight never comes. However! If you like Yoo Jin (like meeeee) then... More »
