Why is Bad Love so bad?
I gave up watching KBS’s over-the-top melodrama Bad Love because from what I saw, it was horrible. And yet, part of me thinks it could’ve been a lot of fun to watch even despite — or because of — how ridiculously bad the series is. Alas I don’t have twenty hours to commit to unabashedly... More »

Yoon Eun Hye gets crafty
Perhaps looking to follow in the footsteps of fellow actors Jung Ryeo Won and Park Jiyoon, actress Yoon Eun Hye has expressed a desire to put together her own exhibition of photos and drawings. Another case of a spoiled star indulging a vanity project? Well maybe, but maybe not. Yoon Eun Hye’s rather well-known for... More »

Hong Gil Dong: Episode 4
Ooh, Episode 4 was good. It was fast-paced, had romantic developments on more than one front, incorporated several action segments, and dug into the political intrigue. All that and while moving forward multiple story lines. It catapults us from what has been somewhat scattered (albeit entertaining) setup material right into the heart of the conflict.... More »

News bites: January 14
Park Jin Hee juggles two handsome leading men (Jo Han Seon and Lee Ki Woo) in her upcoming romantic comedy, Time of Memory and Loss.

You haven’t made it till you’ve got anti-fans
I’d like to sit down for coffee and girlchat with actress Moon Sori. Or knock back a pint of beer, since she seems cool like that. Perhaps there’s a belief that you haven’t really made it as a celebrity till you have anti-fans. Hey, in Hollywoodland, you know you’ve made it when you’ve been satirized... More »

Hong Gil Dong: Episode 3
Yes, Hong Gil Dong is silly and its comedy tends to the broad, but don’t get me wrong — the series isn’t entirely without cleverness. If it seems over-the-top and mindless, it’s because its humor is low-brow, but the writers do manage to sneak in some sly wit. I wouldn’t call it an intelligent show... More »

Open Thread #12
Let’s see what happened this week… So Hillary cries and Obama loses New Hampshire. (Btw, as much as I’m rooting for Obama, and find Hillary cringe-inducing and calculating — but not entirely bad president material, I mean, not compared to Mitt Helmet-Hair Romney or Rudy 9/11 Giuliani, right? — this whole media circus over an...
