You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin: Episode 9
More cuteness and pratfalls in this week’s episodes, which finally gets all its pieces in motion for the real story. Yes, we kicked off Operation: Make Soon-shin a Star a few episodes ago, but the relationships solidify with more of our core characters getting to know each other and setting the stage for lots of...

Name That Drama: House-hunting, identity-swapping, prison babies
Seungri asks: There was this drama that I watched back in the early 2000′s, somewhere between 2002-2005. I don’t remember much except that there was a scene where the main guy is sitting at a playground at night and he looks up at the moon and sees the main girl’s face on it. He’s very... More »

Incarnation of Money: Episode 20
A skilled huntsman lies in wait for his prey to come to him, and a confident marksman needs only one bullet to take down his target. Armed with knowledge and money for ammunition, both sides wait to ambush the other. But even the best disguise isn’t enough to camouflage the truth. It’s time for the... More »

Gu Family Book: Episode 2
What a lovely way to start a story. I almost never get this invested in backstory, because it’s really hard to be patient when you know that what you’re watching is the opening act and not the headliner. But our hero’s origin story is as sweeping and romantic and narratively rich as any main event,... More »

Gu Family Book: Episode 1
Gorgeous. A thoroughly gripping, well-told, and moving first episode. We haven’t yet met the main characters of our present-day storyline (as in, Lee Seung-gi, Suzy, and company) but the show has such a deft hand in drawing out the backstory that I didn’t mind having to wait. The introduction of the parents’ meeting is both... More »

Incarnation of Money: Episode 19
Just when the good guys think that they’ve got this war of revenge in the bag, the baddies turn around to remind them that one does not underestimate their enemy. Claiming victory will take more than tossing out some bait because you’re dealing with beasts who can think for themselves and plan their next moves.... More »

Running Man: Episode 139
Doesn’t our Kwang-soo look so pretty? With the help of a few actresses, our lovable cast takes another shot at a drama-in-variety with This Winter, the Typhoon Blows. Painted with forbidden love, struck by terminal illness and a possible birth secret, you can count on being more makjang than melodramatic. But this is Running Man,... More »

1 Night 2 Days: Episode 432
EPISODE 432. Broadcast on March 31, 2013. girlfriday: So we catch up to the sleepytime bokbulbok race on Jeju Island, where the odd-numbered flag-pullers get to sleep indoors. javabeans: OH RIGHT. The awesomely random flag-pulling race where you have to guess which place you are in the race and mess with your teammates’ minds by... More »
