Gu Family Book: Episode 13
There’s so much cuteness today. Plotwise, the episode itself is almost filler, because it’s a lot of fallout from the last one with a bit of setup for what’s to come. But the adorable moments... More »

Gourmet: Episodes 7 & 8
Where’s the beef? All in Episodes 7 and 8, apparently. These two installments were a little lighter on the food symbolism and more into character relationships. Which is totally fine by me — I think part of why I like Gourmet as much as I do is Kim Rae-won‘s portrayal... More »

Dennis Oh joins East of Eden, because it has credibility to burn
I mean, that must be it, right? For a series billing itself as a multi-generational saga full of revenge, action, and intrigue, casting an acting lightweight like former model Dennis Oh (short for Dennis Joseph O’Neil) is a gutsy move that must be the result of an excess of confidence,... More »

Strongest Chil Woo: Episode 9
No, these buffoons don’t really have much of a role in today’s episode — which is kind of awesomely convoluted — but I couldn’t leave that screencap out. And by awesomely convoluted, I mean that there are multiple parties all doing their own thing but involved in the same incident,... More »

Oh. No. They. Di’n't.

He be da pimp.) They’re being... More »

My Sweet Seoul: Episode 8
Episode 8 was cute, meditative, and full of quiet little moments. Lee Seon-kyun lovers, brace yourselves! He’s pretty adorable here, even if I can’t get over the nagging feeling that Young-soo is way too good for Eun-soo. (I’m trying REALLY HARD to like her, peeps. It’s hard. But Episode 8... More »
