Hyun Bin, workin’ it in outerwear
I’m kind of sick to death of seeing Hyun Bin (Secret Garden) in every Korean news story ever, but this campaign for sports/outerwear line K2 just made me smile, because he’s WORKIN’ IT, like Tyra-Banks-style-fierce, and I don’t even know why.

Secret Garden: Episode 20 (Final)

Thanks for the laughs. And of course to my new favorite idol-oppa, Oska. Yoon Sang-hyun, I was never on your bus before, but I’m... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 18
I’m glad this show comes with its own shrink. It should be a new requirement in all k-dramas. I mean, if you’re going to start making such sharp turns, it’s only fair that you provide your own medical care for those of us who suffer from the whiplash. I’d like to dedicate this recap to... More »
