A Newbie Reviews 2009 [Year In Review, Part 3]
My pick for Drama of the Year: City Hall. I’ll start of with an admission. When javabeans asked me to give my thoughts on 2009, I was pretty excited, and agreed without much thought. After all, 2009 was the best year of k-drama watching I’ve ever had. But then it hit me: 2009 was also the... More »

Scorecard: How did IRIS’s stars measure up?
Lee Byung-heon IRIS‘s scorecard December 17 saw the finale of KBS’s IRIS, which offered a tragic close for its two male leads. It averaged a 27% viewership rating.

Just for curiosity’s sake… (poll addendum)
Okay, so there are a lot of complaints that the 2009 Drama Poll is too biased because You’re Beautiful is winning so heavily. I have my own reasons for thinking that’s not true — how can you get upset that people are voting for their favorite drama when that’s what the poll asks? — but... More »

Queen of Housewives (MBC)
I found MBC’s Monday-Tuesday drama Queen of Housewives [내조의 여왕] to be a pleasant surprise, as I hadn’t had any expectations for it. At first glance, it’s possible to dismiss this show from its unexciting synopsis and a cast that may be solid but not quite buzzworthy. But no, Queen of Housewives is light and... More »
