Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 4
I’m pretty sure I know what happens in this episode. I’ll get to it as soon as I stop staring at the pretty… I’m probably gonna need a minute… In this episode, Tae-yeon faces his biggest opponent yet: not a hooded figure in a dark alley, but a well-dressed woman in a courtroom. It’s Lawyer... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 3
A new rivalry springs up, and this time it’s cop-versus-prosecutor, smug-versus-eager, manchild-versus-girl, Soon-bum versus Jung-in. It adds a dash of levity to the proceedings, and I can’t wait to see the pendulum swing back the other way as they bicker and sniff at each other over whose theories are better. It’s not like they’re directly... More »

Character stills from Padam Padam
I know Padam Padam is all about Jung Woo-sung (Athena) and Han Ji-min (Cain & Abel)…but can we talk about how much Kim Bum has grown up the the past year? Yowsa. I know all boys have to age sometime, and Kim Bum has been gradually growing out of his boyish looks with every role... More »

Noh Min-woo to headline Vampire Idol?
Okay, forget the Full House remake/sequel/rehash. Been there, done that. Let’s get Noh Min-woo onboard with this. Upcoming MBN sitcom Vampire Idol is reportedly wooing Noh to play the undead pretty boy who travels to Earth (because apparently he’s an alien AND a vampire) to fulfill his dreams of becoming an idol star. God, I... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 2
Why do I like this show? It’s Angel-meets-Bones. What’s not to like? (Okay, it’s more like if Angel were the Batman to Booth’s Bruce Wayne and he starred in an episode of CSI. Details.) It’s glossy and rapid-fire, and the narrative setup is one that follows the tried-and-true American procedural down to the letter. But... More »
