The King 2 Hearts: Episode 8
by | April 13, 2012 | 303 Comments
Marathon Part II. Bleary-eyed? Check. Emotionally gutted? Check. I also probably lost a few marbles back there, but sanity’s overrated. Or so I hear. I think it’s to this episode’s advantage that we barrel straight through from Episode 7. Maintaining that emotional current is actually the most useful between these two particular episodes, so thanks,... More »

Part I of our King 2 Hearts marathon is a doozy. Jae-ha gets a rude awakening, and Hang-ah finds out that kissing a prince is NOT like kissing a toad. If only fairytales came with some useful life lessons, like how to turn your prince back into one if he keeps mouthing off.   EPISODE... More »

Rooftop Prince: Episode 7
by | April 12, 2012 | 274 Comments
As you know, there’s only one episode this week due to the pre-emption, so this one will have to satisfy us for the time being. At least we got a nice dose of cuteness to tide us over till next week—not enough, I know, but I’ll take what I can get. The election broadcasts didn’t... More »

Movie Review: Never Ending Story
by | April 11, 2012 | 53 Comments
One of this year’s January releases, dark comedy Never Ending Story takes the normal melodrama fodder of two characters diagnosed with a terminal illness and throws it on its head, delivering high doses of cute romance with endearing characters and more sunny backlighting than you can shake a stick at. It underperformed in the box... More »

Marriage Plot: Episode 3
by | April 10, 2012 | 51 Comments
Our main leads continue to spar against each other – forced to work together but both hate the arrangement. It’s comedic and they sizzle the screen with their revengeful antics and quippy bickering. EPISODE 3 RECAP Tags: featured, Kang Hye-jung, Lee Kyu-han, Marriage Plot... More »

Patience must be hard when you’re living with someone you failed to murder properly, and we get treated to the darkest side of roommate hijinks this side of the equator.

Special Affairs Team TEN: Episode 6
by | April 8, 2012 | 18 Comments
This episode is part one of a two-parter case, titled “Part 1: The Kidnapping of Min Chae Won.” I think this episode just sets us up for the twisted-ness that comes in part 2, mainly because we have a standard kidnapping, and our team is simply unable to track down where the kid is. Part... More »

Marriage Plot: Episode 2
by | April 7, 2012 | 38 Comments
The show continues to be funny and full of crackling chemistry between the leads, who take bickering romance to new extremes. It’s totally childish and the behavior can veer ridiculous at moments, but it’s all the funnier for how committed these two actors play the absurdity. After this episode, gummimochi will be taking over recaps,... More »

Equator Man: Episode 5
by | April 7, 2012 | 54 Comments
Romantic comedy cohabitation drama? Been there, done that. Dark, vengeful, tension-laden bromantic cohabitation drama between friends turned enemies? More, please. This episode fleshes out the time-jump from our teen actors into adults, and the amount of time that hasn’t passed may come as a surprise. Once you get past that, you’re set for the rest... More »
