2012 MBC Drama Awards
by | December 30, 2012 | 301 Comments
Well, we’ve given out our awards for 2012; now it’s time to see how MBC distributed its honors. And if past years are any indication, there are bound to be some head-scratchers and some obvious political choices. Then again, that’s sort of the name of the game all across the board, isn’t it? The thing... More »

2012 Blue Dragon Film Awards
by | November 30, 2012 | 120 Comments
The 2012 Blue Dragon Film Awards were held last night, and now it feels like we’ve entered awards season in earnest, following up on last month’s Grand Bell Awards. There were a few of the same names and titles, but on the whole, I’d say the Blue Dragons were much more in line with what... More »

Offical posters for Jackal Is Coming
by | October 10, 2012 | 87 Comments
Posters are out for Jaejoong and Song Ji-hyo’s upcoming action-comedy movie The Jackal Is Coming, which is gearing up with promos now that it’s about a month out from its theatrical release. The premise of the movie alone is enough to hook my interest—a hitwoman is hired to kidnap a pop star, and complications ensue—and... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 22 (Final)
by | August 18, 2012 | 199 Comments
After extensions and preemptions, weekend suckstravaganza Dr. Jin has finally come to an end. Some would say twenty-two episodes too late. Okay, I said it. Shows as spectacularly awful as this don’t come around too often, and they aren’t a palate cleanser as much as a sledgehammer to the teeth. To the production team’s credit,... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 21
by | August 6, 2012 | 94 Comments
You wanted answers? You don’t get them. No, seriously. You don’t. Luckily it’s not the worst thing that ever happened, since the majority of the episode focuses on things that are Not Hyuk, and I’m not one to look a gift jar in the fetus. Or is it a gift fetus in the jar? Either... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 20
by | August 2, 2012 | 114 Comments
If there’s one good thing to be said about Dr. Jin, it’s that Stuff Always Happens. On the flip side, most of it doesn’t make a lick of sense. History is royally screwed and there’s only one man and his brain fetus to save it… Or is there? We definitely get a lot more questions... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 19
by | July 30, 2012 | 145 Comments
This episode takes us for a ride as far as the time travel/time slip/parallel universe mechanics go, as Hyuk puts his all into saving the entire Catholic population in Joseon with some pretty questionable aftereffects. When will this boy ever learn? Is even posing that question too much wishful thinking on my part? Tags: Dr.... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 18
by | July 25, 2012 | 151 Comments
Leave it to Dr. Jin to show us the miracle of childbirth via C-section in all its horrifying high-definition glory, because, why not? Young-rae spanks babies back from the brink and Hyuk finds something he actually cares about in an episode that nosedives into its political plots and plans, and one that finally gives Hyuk...

Dr. Jin: Episode 17
by | July 24, 2012 | 93 Comments
We get a pretty decent first half before this episode really lays on the WTFery, with rapid changes happening everywhere. In what other show can both leads make faces while looking at someone’s genitalia? Not a good one, I tell you. Hyuk is now an OB/GYN and midwife all in one, and as usual, the... More »

Dr. Jin: Episode 16
by | July 18, 2012 | 122 Comments
The time slip mechanism is more or less explained, and while it’s not too surprising, the details reach a whole new level of weird and convoluted and… well, just plain weird. Turns out there’s more than one brain fetus, maybe even an infinite number of brain fetuses, and Hyuk’s in particular has a bone to... More »
