Rooftop Prince: Episode 14
The Cute is back, which is always a good thing with this show, where so much of the charm comes from the characterizations. I’ve been missing the fun in any episode that’s heavily skewed in favor of the company plotline, even though those tend to move quickly, because no matter how fast the evildoers move,... More »

And now, for a look at Bridal Mask’s other leads
We finally get a look at some of the other cast members of KBS’s upcoming Bridal Mask—not that we mind seeing lots of Joo-won, mind—starting with second lead Park Ki-woong, pictured here at the recent poster shoot. The drama is set in the 1930s amid the independence movement against Japanese colonial rule, which makes Park’s... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 13
Lots of forward movement today, with lies unraveling and Major Discoveries being made. In fact, I sort of wonder if some of this could have been paced a little slower to give us a chance to react emotionally with the characters, rather than zooming right by… but I suppose I’d rather feel something went too...

Is this the end for general-programming cable dramas?
A Wife’s Credentials If you’ve been following the drama offerings on the various cable channels you’ll already have an inkling, but things are not looking good for the brand-new channels that premiered several months ago under the banner of “general programming.” The situation is so precarious that there are even rumblings of these entities giving...

Teaser and stills from not-a-divorce-drama Goodbye Wife
Here’s an update on the upcoming cable drama Goodbye Wife, which stars Ryu Shi-won (Style) as the lead caught between two women, Hong Soo-hyun (History of the Salaryman) and Park Ji-yoon (Lie To Me). One of them’s the titular wife, and the other’s the Other Woman. I confess to not having a lot of excitement... More »

Queen In-hyun’s Man: Episode 2
This show is just gorgeous; it feels like I’m saying that a lot these days, with drama cinematography really stepping it up in recent months/years, but this one really is a feast for the eyes. The period scenes remind me of Joseon X-Files in ambiance (the same starkly beautiful lighting, though without the sci-fi creepiness),... More »

Standby: Episodes 5-14 (Highlights)
More Standby! So here’s the deal: I won’t be recapping (or weecapping) MBC daily sitcom Standby on a regular basis, because that’s just a level of commitment I’m not ready to make. Furthermore, the show is a pretty simple watch, and not always worth examining on a deeper level… ’cause I’m not sure it HAS... More »

Kim Soo-hyun takes role of pretty-boy spy
Kim Soo-hyun has picked his next project, after hitting it big with The Moon That Embraces the Sun, which netted him a recent Baeksang Award, and it’s a spy movie with an entertaining premise called Covertly, Grandly. That’s the literal translation; perhaps a better-sounding English title will be released later. It’s an adaptation of a... More »
