Mandate of Heaven: Episode 2
Okay, we did a little reshuffling and negotiated a deal with the fourth dimension to put Mandate of Heaven on our regular recapping schedule. I can’t promise there were no threats and tears involved in the deal, but for now let’s just hope it’s worth it. FYI, there are a couple other titles floating around,... More »

You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin: Episode 14
Someone moves in, someone moves out, someone gets spit on, and someone gets slapped, not necessarily in that order. Strangely the episode isn’t as eventful as that makes it sound, but Soon-shin’s relationship with her mentor takes a turn upward, just as things with Mom take a sharp turn downward. If only she knew just... More »

Mandate of Heaven: Episode 1
Mandate of Heaven is a drama I’ve been keeping my eye on; it seemed to have that mix of thriller, action, and drama that I’ve been missing from my dramas lately. What I didn’t count on was for it to have a sense of humor, too; the first episode, despite starting off in the thick... More »

You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin: Episode 13
Placing Jun-ho at the mercy of the Lee women is one conflict that can play out forever, as far as I’m concerned, because it produces some hilarious misunderstandings. With a hapless heo-dang hero on one hand and the bumbling Bread Man on the other, courtship was never funnier. If only the show would actually drag... More »

Gu Family Book: Episode 6
It turns out there’s more than one advantage to delaying the reveal that your heroine isn’t a dude. The hero constantly puts his foot in his mouth, and you get lots of speedy skinship. Maybe this should be a cross-dressing drama. Things go from bad to worse for Kang-chi today, which I guess in dramaland... More »

Incarnation of Money: Episode 23
Fighting in war isn’t always easy, especially if your morals and emotions are in constant conflict with each other. What if doing something right requires you to betray how you feel?

Jang Ok-jung, Live By Love: Episode 1
