Who Are You: Episode 13
by | April 17, 2008 | 44 Comments
I’m pleased with the pacing, given that (unfortunately) many to most of other kdramas start lagging in the home stretch — even the good ones. It’s not that they get bad, but a lot of times it’s like you can feel the fatigue of the production team start setting in. (Mixed-up Investigative Agency is one... More »

Who Are You: Episode 12
by | April 16, 2008 | 40 Comments
Aww. One of my favorite shots from the episode. Today’s episode moved a lot of plot points forward. In fact, it’s a little light on the romance angle (compared to, say, Episode 11), although there is a significant development or two on that front as well. (And Yoon Kye Sang is adorable in this one.)... More »

Three Dads, One Mom: Episode 4

Three Dads, One Mom is… not a good show. You know how sometimes you might be watching a drama, say, and something happens in the latter part of the drama that is exactly like what happened earlier in the drama? For instance, the mother of the rich hero tries to buy off her son’s poor... More »

Who Are You: Episode 11

I’ve honestly enjoyed every minute of Who Are You? so far (and been pretty surprised at how much I like this heart-warming, seriously laugh-out-loud drama), but imho, today’s episode was the first real standout. Fantastic episode, on multiple fronts. (Man, I am SO BUMMED we don’t get another ep this week.) SONG OF THE DAY... More »

Three Dads, One Mom: Episode 3
by | April 10, 2008 | 63 Comments
I wasn’t sure I’d be continuing to cover Three Dads, One Mom (and I’m still not convinced), but I had time to watch it tonight with its competition postponing its episodes for the day. (The drama received a hefty ratings bump as well, nearly tripling from its very low premiere numbers of approx 5% to... More »

Three Dads, One Mom: Episodes 1 & 2
by | April 8, 2008 | 68 Comments
Finally caught the first two episodes of the new KBS Wednesday-Thursday drama Three Dads, One Mom, and have a bit of a mixed reaction. On one hand, there’s a very cute quality to the drama, helped in no small part by its appealing cast — and while they’re not quite superstar-famous, all four main cast... More »

Who Are You: Episode 10

I don’t think I can overstate how much I LOVE JEALOUS SEUNG HYO. I think the whole jealousy thing is one of those common female fantasies — a pain in the ass in real life, but for some reason so much fun in fiction. And, the rules evolve yet again! SONG OF THE DAY Beautiful... More »

Who Are You: Episode 9

Fun fun fun. The series is getting more interesting, I think. Or maybe that’s just because I’m a fool for romantic developments, which is a big theme in today’s episode. SONG OF THE DAY G.O.D. – “모르죠” (Don’t know). Can’t have a Yoon Kye Sang drama and not post a G.O.D. song, right? This one’s... More »

Who Are You: Episode 8
by | March 30, 2008 | 20 Comments
My big question heading into Who Are You? was whether the handling of the body-possession of Seung Hyo would create weird Electra complex moments for Young In. Thus far I’m glad to report that I haven’t found the developing Young In–Seung Hyo relationship to be creepy; and in fact Episode 8 brings more opportunities for... More »

Who Are You: Episode 7
by | March 29, 2008 | 29 Comments
The rules are changing! The series is still funny and enjoyable, but now we get more into the mystery aspect. Plus, Seung Hyo’s hard, cold exterior starts softening, which continues through Episode 8. Aw. Perhaps proportionally, Yoon Kye Sang’s really growing on me too, not just as an actor but as fangirl eye candy. And... More »
