Movie Review: A Werewolf Boy
A Werewolf Boy is an exceptional film that’s been on my radar ever since it was announced (so by that timeline, I’ll get to watch Gwanghae, the Man Who Became King by the year 2037), and one that’s raked in some considerable accolades since its lauded release last fall. Despite this being a sophomore effort... More »

Mandate of Heaven: Episode 6
As I said, I love the lighter moments in this show, and with Won on the run, we get more breathing room, which is great because it’s refreshing to expand our outer limits. The palace can feel like such a world in and of itself because of all the stakes and intrigue constantly in play,... More »

Mandate of Heaven: Episode 5
I like that the characters in Mandate of Heaven are smart—they see clues, put them together, and are more or less shrewd about how to interpret motive and intent. Aside from the fact that it’s nice to have smart characters in any drama, this keeps the plot pushing forward rather than spinning its wheels; we’ve... More »

You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin: Episodes 17-18
Lots and lots of cuteness in this pair of episodes. It’s not like there’s a whole lot of new stuff going on, but the drama shifts its balance toward its humorous and couple-centric side, and that makes for a much more enjoyable watch this week. Plus, we kick up a few new conflicts and advance... More »

Gu Family Book: Episode 10
It’s time for the big heist and the big reveal, but what I didn’t expect was the big laugh. Between Yeo-wool getting outed and Kang-chi playing Ocean’s Eleven, the episode goes by pretty quickly, especially when the good guys’ plan goes sideways about seventeen different ways. That probably has something to do with the fact... More »

Gu Family Book: Episode 9
Cute. Now that Kang-chi has a new home to settle into, there’s a little breathing room for comedy and relationships to develop. Not to worry though—there’s still a spot of life-threatening violence to keep things interesting, not only for Kang-chi but for Yeo-wool as well, who finds that staying out of Kang-chi’s business is becoming...

Running Man: Episode 143
Time to loosen those vocal chords and get that tambourine ready for a noraebang experience you likely won’t ever forget. The godfather of variety pays our cast a visit to train their sharp wit, fine-tune their physical gags, and bring out a new persona. Some things don’t ever change, and perhaps someone’s bad luck is... More »

Variety Roulette: Our Neighborhood Variety Sports
Get your rackets ready for another round of Variety Roulette where we’ll take a swing at the fairly new sports show on the KBS lineup, spearheaded by nation’s MC Kang Ho-dong: Our Neighborhood Variety Sports. The premiere beat out its Tuesday night competitors (namely Incarnation) with a solid 6.2% in ratings. And the numbers continue... More »

Mandate of Heaven: Episode 4
This is a particularly gorgeous episode. Perhaps that’s because it contained scenes to be used as the drama’s opening sequence, or perhaps the change of scenery offers up a whole range of movement and color that we hadn’t seen previously within the palace confines. In any case, our characters and are story swing into full... More »
