History of the Salaryman: Episode 14
What a ride! Bang and Hang-woo go head to head in a surprisingly suspenseful competition, and we get to finally see just how far Gabi is willing to go for the sake of her greed. She goes above and beyond the call of duty in that regard, and it’s not necessarily what she does as... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 13
To quote Yeo-chi, Jesus Christmas! This episode was a blast to watch – a completely fulfilling hour where love lines get crossed, recrossed, strung together, and pulled apart with extra doses of laughter and heart to spare. It seems like the biggest sin one can commit in the business world is to underestimate your enemy,... More »

Movie Review: You’re My Pet
2011 was a good year for the noona romance, with You’re My Pet standing as a highly-anticipated film based on the Japanese manga Kimi wa petto, later adapted into a Japanese drama series of the same name. Most of the anticipation rested on the shoulders of its two A-list stars, Jang Geun-seok and Kim Haneul.... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 12
Sometimes it takes just one great moment to turn the tables and change our perception of the drama reality we’ve been given, and this episode had one of those great moments. History of the Salaryman is loud when it wants to be, but it’s in the subtlety that this show really shines – even though... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 11
This episode definitely ups the drama, and sacrifices nothing to do so. All of the conflict we’re seeing has been set up perfectly and believably throughout the first act of the series – so now that we’re getting some upped stakes, the requisite angst is inevitable. I didn’t expect to feel so much when History... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 10
It’s war, and it’s brutal. This was really a milestone episode, taking us into the next level of emotional involvement for our heroes as we delve deeper into the harsh realities and hardships they have to face. To say that Yeo-chi stood out especially is almost doing a disservice to the rest of the wonderful... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 9
Any drama that uses “Welcome to the Jungle” effectively and convincingly wins serious brownie points – and it was in that moment that I remembered why I love this show so darn much. We’ve got more drunken shenanigans than you can shake a camera at, high stakes bets, and fancy parties that actually look super... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 8
Ratings this week settled in at 12.8%, which isn’t too bad – though considering that its only big competition this week was MBC’s Light and Shadow, those ratings aren’t necessarily great, either. And with Dream High 2 airing next week, the chances for History of the Salaryman to become a ratings hit are slim. Ratings... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 7
My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard. I can’t help but love a show where the traditional drama makeover scene gets a makeover, and where the hero suddenly finds himself unable to lie at the most hilariously inappropriate times. History of the Salaryman, why are you so awesome? Surely we don’t deserve you. Tags:... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 6
Feelings! Character growth! Jealousy! Situational comedy! Lots of exclamation points! It shouldn’t surprise me that History of the Salaryman continues to get better and better in balancing its raucous brand of comedy with plenty of heartfelt moments – and it’s something I can’t help continuing to notice, because this show really has made that delicate...
