Me Too, Flower: Episode 4
We’re four episodes in and everything just keeps getting better. The plot is chugging along nicely, seeds of jealousy are planted, and the gray shades of our side characters obtain some color. Who would’ve thought Pink actually serves a greater purpose? Tags: featured, Han Go-eun, Lee Jia, Me Too Flower, Seo Hyo-rim, Yoon Shi-yoon... More »

Cable drama Color of Woman has cast its leading lady (or recast, after Eugene dropped out).

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 12
Phew! Thank goodness for another episode that’s heavy on the happy, and (relatively) low on the misery. After yesterday’s cheerier turn, I was afraid that we’d be back to gloomytown since they’d gotten some lighter moments. But that would’ve killed me, because their taste of happiness is still so fleeting in context of the bigger... More »

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop: Episode 8
I know I say this every time, but Best. Episode. Ever. Why so awesome, Show? Is it ’cause you’re made with love and garnished with hotties? Or because you’re filled with nutritious hearty goodness? Whatever it is, it rocks my world, and I’d like to order another helping, please. Tags: featured, Flower Boy Ramyun Shop,... More »

Song Joong-ki for GQ
Here’s Song Joong-ki in a decidedly strange spread for GQ. Normally I’m a fan of quirky, but this one’s just plain weird. For one, they’ve got the torso and legs of a woman standing there like a headless prop, which drives me batty. (Objectify much? Seriously, Mr. Scarecrow got better treatment than her.) And secondly,... More »

Me Too, Flower: Episode 3
Whoo. The dialogue in this drama sometimes gives me whiplash. I feel like I’m watching a tennis match that requires me to look left and right until I pull a neck muscle. It’s not a huge complaint though because I love the amount of meaty content that comes from each conversation. Jo Min Ki is... More »

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 11
FINALLY. A huge gust of fresh air brings change to everyone’s world. It’s an episode heavy on the happy and light on the angst, and full of wit about abs and dramaland. It’s unexpectedly sexy, heartwarming, and FUN, which I get that this drama can’t be all the time, but damn, this episode makes me... More »

Flower Boy Ramyun Shop: Episode 7
Have I mentioned that I love this show? I’m not sure, I may not have mentioned it enough. There’s a surreal, almost manhwa-like sheen of farcical humor coating the surface, but then there are moments of real connection and emotion. Jung Il-woo has been dramatically intense before (Return of Iljimae) as well as hilariously oddball... More »
