Mixed-Up Investigative Agency: Case 1
I’ve decided to stick with the title Mixed-Up Investigative Agency as my preferred translation for the title of KBS’s new action-comedy drama 얼렁뚱땅 흥신소, which has been translated a number of different other things, all of which I dislike. (I did kinda like one person’s translation using the word “wacky,” but I’ve got my own... More »

MBC’s Auction House
Anyone else catch the premiere of the new MBC drama Auction House? Ever since I heard about the new format they were attempting, I’ve been keen on seeing if the show was worth watching, despite not having particular interest in auction houses or the goings-on thereof. Auction houses as a backdrop for other, more exciting... More »

Legend: Episode 3
Just FYI, I’m not necessarily committing to full episode summaries for Legend. I’m not enough into the series to make that kind of commitment, and the recaps are starting to feel a lot like work. So for now, I’m just commenting on the episodes. Episode 3 was far more interesting because the palace intrigues become... More »

Impressions on Legend, Episode 2
My opinion on Legend after its first week of broadcasts (a preview special and three episodes) is one of tentative liking. No matter how people may rave about other historical dramas, my eyes tend to glaze over at some point in disinterest. Which is ironic since I love history. And period movies. But somehow just...

Legend / 태왕사신기
So this week saw the start of the LEGEND (태왕사신기) extravaganza, kicking off with four consecutive days of broadcasting — an introductory special, followed by the first three episodes. Boasting perhaps the grandest scale of any drama to date, extensive special effects, two veteran writers of what are widely regarded to be the two best... More »

The Story of Hyang Dan: Episode 2 (End)
Part of why HYANG DAN JEON works for me is because, although there’s an element of the ridiculous built in (it walks the line between farce and reality), at the center is Hyang Dan, and Seo Ji Hye plays her completely straight. The characters around her may be playing up the joke to some extent... More »

Hyang Dan Jeon / The Story of Hyang Dan
MBC’s just-aired (Monday and Tuesday of this week) two-episode drama HYANG DAN JEON, which translates to The Story of Hyang Dan, isn’t really a sageuk drama, even if it takes place in the time of the Chosun Dynasty, which was founded in the late 14th century. This drama (really a minidrama, if even that) is... More »

Coffee Prince Behind-the-Scenes Special
(Someone should Photoshop Gong Yoo’s head into this pic. PS challenge anyone? ) I don’t have that much to say about the Coffee Prince special — first because a lot of it is merely recaps of the series, and is better enjoyed by watching the special oneself rather than reading me recapping someone else’s...

Romance Hunter: Episodes 1-5
When I first started watching cable drama Romance Hunter, it was mainly out of curiosity, since I hadn’t heard anything about it. (I was surfing clubboxes for something else, and the title caught my eye, so I downloaded it. I stumble across lots of things serendipitously like that, and it’s always a nice feeling when... More »
