The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 15
Well look who turned the ship around in the eleventh hour. Okay, so it’s more like the ninth hour. Whatever. The important thing is, I like the heroine again. Halle-freaking-lujah. And Yang-myung kills it, and me, in this episode. Moon/Sun consistently inches higher in the ratings, with this one hitting a new series high at... More »

Operation Proposal: Episode 4
What Operation Proposal does so well at is taking little details and tying it into its narrative. Our characters never say what they mean, but always take each other’s words at face value. Everyone has their little quirks and unlike other romantic comedies, this show takes the time dig a little deeper into its side... More »

A nefarious evil has overtaken Chun Ha Group, leaving Yeo-chi missing, Bang drinking, and Woo-hee practicing extremely unsafe driving methods. This episode was a great example of controlled chaos, as each of our characters goes through some kind of shakeup to their world order. There’s more than enough cute to go around, even as we...

History of the Salaryman: Episode 15
This show toys with us in the best way, making us laugh in one scene only for us to cry in the next. Even with the funny interspersed, we never lose sight of what has happened or what is happening, so that we’re able to register the depth of our characters’ reactions to tragedy while... More »

Shut Up: Flower Boy Band: Episode 7
I love this show more with every episode. Such genuine reactions and range of emotion between these people. The conflicts and setup aren’t new to anybody who’s seen a drama or a hundred in their lives, but no drama’s ever going to reinvent the wheel. What matters is giving your version of this story truth... More »

Running Man: Episode 81
How much does Gary really know? You didn’t think that the Running Man staff would send one of their own to Europe just for FUN did you? Because that would just be silly and too nice of them. In this week’s episode, the cast must track down clues to find Gary’s missing bag and poor... More »

Who knew we still had room in this drama for unexpected connections?
