Contrary to the popular saying, dead men in this show tell nothing but tales. Testing alliances, helping secret projects, and making court ladies cry for mommy are just some of the jobs that are performed by cold and lifeless bodies this episode. But our warm, life-filled bodies have enough problems with each of their respective... More »

Yay for people finding out and moving plot along. When a drama basically features a central character harboring a secret that we know from Day 1, and people left in the dark for ages, it can feel like you’re treading water indefinitely. Now that we have people outside the core characters finding out and reacting... More »

This drama is candy-coated crack laced with Tabasco. How can a drama be so many things? It’s cute, it’s hilarious, it’s witty, it’s addictive, and it’s HOT. What I love about this show is that it’s got oodles of heart, but it’s always better when that heart is couched in wit and sexual tension and... More »

Yay, we’re back to the core characters now that the wedding hullabaloo has died down.

I luff this show. So. Damn. Much. It makes me happy. It’s adorable and hilarious, but even better, it has thematic cohesiveness. In fact, I can’t believe that a drama was marketed, promoted, positively hyped to be empty fluffery, and was harboring all this heart inside it. Why o why would you try to hide... More »
