Hanbando / Korean Peninsula: Episodes 1-2
Rather than a recap, this is more of a first impressions/summary of the first two episodes. In fact, the first two episodes were short enough that I don’t think it merits a full recap. If you’re a fan of IRIS and ATHENA, you might enjoy this one. If you love Hwang Jung Min, you’re probably... More »

Operation Proposal: Episode 1
A strong premiere for Operation Proposal. I was oddly excited and nervous about this show since my expectations were based off of its Japanese original, Proposal Daisakusen: Operation Love. Remakes are usually a hit or miss which largely depend on the cohesion of the drama trifecta of writing, directing, and acting. But we’ve got a... More »

Dream High 2: Episode 1
It’s time to Dream Higherererer with a whole new cast of characters, and a whole new universe as well. As it turns out Season 2 is no dummy – we don’t just pick up where we left off, or reboot to square one with the same narrative and a different cast. Phew. One bullet dodged.... More »

Shut Up: Flower Boy Band: Episode 1
I love this drama already; Episode 1 delivered just what I’d hoped for, and what I wanted. I’ve watched a lot of high school shows — an embarrassing number, actually — and if the rest of the series maintains the premiere’s moody atmosphere and underdog narrative, I think it can rank up there with my...

You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here: An introduction
You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here is the MBN sitcom that premiered at the start of December, which touted itself as a new style of sitcom modeled after the American sitcom format, with a Friends-like vibe. Supposedly. At 120 episodes and on a daily airing schedule, it’s not a show I’d normally want to... More »

Wild Romance: Episode 1
Wild Romance faced some stiff competition during its premiere on KBS this past week, bringing up the rear as far as ratings were concerned. What it has going in its favor is a small and intimate world, funny characters, and a light storyline (like if zero-calorie-cola were a drama and not sadness in a can).... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 1
Premieres abound today, and heading the pack is The Moon That Embraces the Sun, aka soon to be MBC’s great white hope. I had a feeling this drama would come out on top in the ratings, but I had no idea it would be such a clear-cut victory. The Moon That Embraces the Sun drew... More »

History of the Salaryman: Episode 1
If you’re tired of dramas featuring the same old storylines, this just may be the show for you. History of the Salaryman is one I’ve been curious about, because it seemed so quirky and different from the usual stuff. With Episode 1 now out, I can say that it is indeed offbeat and quirky, with... More »

Bachelor’s Vegetable Store: Episode 1
Another premiere! Bachelor’s Vegetable Store, which premiered today on Channel A, is both more than I was expecting, and less. I was hoping it would be light and heartwarming, which it is. There are some truly aww-inducing sweet relationships, with characters you can imagine yourself falling in love with, with conflicts clearly established for the... More »

What’s Up: Episodes 1-2
It’s like The Musical redux – my weekends are all music’ed out. However, I was definitely more excited for this drama than The Musical. And… I think my gut was right in this case. What’s Up is decidedly more quirky, more serious, and darker than its predecessors this year (Dream High, You’ve Fallen for Me and The... More »
