Insoon Is Pretty: Episode 1
Man. Another drama I like = another drama with low ratings. Should I even be surprised anymore? Watching Episode 1 of Kim Hyun Joo’s new drama Insoon Is Pretty, I wasn’t sure if it was the kind I’d want to keep watching through the end. Quality’s not the issue; the acting is good, the dialogue... More »

Mixed-Up Investigative Agency: Case 1
I’ve decided to stick with the title Mixed-Up Investigative Agency as my preferred translation for the title of KBS’s new action-comedy drama 얼렁뚱땅 흥신소, which has been translated a number of different other things, all of which I dislike. (I did kinda like one person’s translation using the word “wacky,” but I’ve got my own... More »

MBC’s Auction House
Anyone else catch the premiere of the new MBC drama Auction House? Ever since I heard about the new format they were attempting, I’ve been keen on seeing if the show was worth watching, despite not having particular interest in auction houses or the goings-on thereof. Auction houses as a backdrop for other, more exciting... More »

Legend / 태왕사신기
So this week saw the start of the LEGEND (태왕사신기) extravaganza, kicking off with four consecutive days of broadcasting — an introductory special, followed by the first three episodes. Boasting perhaps the grandest scale of any drama to date, extensive special effects, two veteran writers of what are widely regarded to be the two best... More »

Hyang Dan Jeon / The Story of Hyang Dan
MBC’s just-aired (Monday and Tuesday of this week) two-episode drama HYANG DAN JEON, which translates to The Story of Hyang Dan, isn’t really a sageuk drama, even if it takes place in the time of the Chosun Dynasty, which was founded in the late 14th century. This drama (really a minidrama, if even that) is... More »

Romance Hunter: Episodes 1-5
When I first started watching cable drama Romance Hunter, it was mainly out of curiosity, since I hadn’t heard anything about it. (I was surfing clubboxes for something else, and the title caught my eye, so I downloaded it. I stumble across lots of things serendipitously like that, and it’s always a nice feeling when... More »

Hello Franceska / 안녕 프란체스카
Hehe, note that with Taereung National Village, I said I’d found a series to watch, not the series to watch. The great thing about watching shows that have long since finished airing is that now, I can watch without worrying about keeping pace with the new episodes every week. This was the second show whose... More »

Taereung National Village / 태릉선수촌 (2005)
Despite the winningness of Coffee Prince, I’m starting to veer from cheery immersion into overload territory, and before that flares into full-on burnout, I thought I’d turn my attentions elsewhere to balance things out a bit. I’ve started watching some other series, dabbling in a sea of first episodes, trying to see which ones are... More »

Coffee Prince Store #1
Okay okay, so I’m totally behind on Air City (and Bad Couple, and soon to be Flowers For My Life…) but my With S2 girls convinced me I should recap what I want and not worry about doing everything in order. And so, I decided, Air City will have to wait. I promise I’ll get... More »

SBS’s Bad Couple / 불량커플
This past weekend, another weekend drama premiered, SBS’s BAD COUPLE (불량커플), the third in its “bad / 불량” series after Bad Housewife and Bad Family. (Note that “bad” doesn’t mean necessarily evil or malicious, but more in the vein of “unsuitable” or “inferior”.) I don’t believe the same people are involved in the three different... More »
