We’re back for the second half of our Asia Tour and this time, the cast is off to Vietnam where they get the greatest international welcome this show has seen thus far.

That Winter, The Wind Blows: Episode 7
I just love it when I love a heroine, even when this one comes with personality flaws to spare, loads of emotional baggage, an unhealthy obsession with death, and plenty of secrets. Maybe it’s because Young is such a flawed person that she remains so engaging, but I’d like to think it’s because we understand... More »

That Winter, The Wind Blows: Episode 6
Mistrust abounds when a wild card is thrown into the mix, leaving Young perfectly vulnerable to Soo’s lies, of which there are plenty of in this episode. Despite everything I still can’t bring myself to hate our deceptive hero, maybe because I don’t see him reaping the benefits from his schemes any time soon. Especially... More »

Level 7 Civil Servant: Episode 11
The blinders come off, the faith is lost, and our love story comes to a screeching halt. Typically, the mid-point romantic breakup is where so many dramas go awry with the melo antics turning up a notch, but I have hope that the divide here will take our story into more interesting places. (And to... More »

Incarnation of Money: Episode 8
It’s interesting how a courtroom can reveal so much about a person—whether it’s the witness on the stand, the prosecutor in the middle of her cross-examination, or someone in the audience. Everyone has a different motive in tackling their cases while holding onto different definitions of what justice means. And it’s these definitions that distinguish... More »

Flower Boy Next Door: Episode 16 (Final)
It’s the end of the road for our Miss Lonelyhearts and her flower boy neighbors, in a finale about the difference between what each character thought was love, and how that perception changes when they experience it firsthand.

Flower Boy Next Door: Episode 15
There’s a nice thread running through the episode of trading places and moving forward to a place of emotional understanding, which also gives us a really cute bit of Enrique-Dok-mi table-turning. The episode is almost worth it just for that adorableness alone. There are some things that bog it down, like the seemingly endless circle... More »

Incarnation of Money: Episode 7
How would you react to an ex-girlfriend you can’t recognize? Shock? Relief? Displeasure? Cha-don finally comes face to face with the new Jae-in, who looks for any way she can to get revenge. Perhaps someone needs to teach her that there are greater things at hand, like a murderer on the loose, than worrying about... More »

Conspiracy in the Court: Episode 7
I don’t think I’ve ever been so confused by a show before, though that’s not at all as bad as it sounds. Conspiracy in the Court makes me want to give multiple episodes multiple viewings, because little hints here and there end up informing and changing so much of what we’ve already seen. There are...
