Jeon Woo-chi: Episode 24 (Final)
by | February 9, 2013 | 28 Comments
And now we come to the end of the line. As far as finales go, this was a pretty solid one: It tied up loose ends, gave us a sense of satisfaction and resolution, and was in keeping with the rest of the series. Some bittersweetness counters the laughs, but at the end of the... More »

I’m going to miss seeing Woo-chi perched up on rooftops, arms crossed in judgy exasperation, always ready with a snarky comeback and a cheeky punishment for the endless array of baddies in the world. We’re down to finale week and with just one episode left to go, things take a surprising turn. It looks like... More »

There are some big payoffs in this episode, along with a few surprises, and Woo-chi and the gang finally start to put some effort into knocking Minister Oh down from his tower of untouchable wealth and power. I have to admit; it’s pretty damn satisfying to watch him squirm. Are the good guys actually going... More »

Jeon Woo-chi: Episode 20

Aha, just when you think things are going one way, they’re really heading another. The show pulls out a surprise to keep us—and more importantly, the characters—on our toes. It’s something I appreciate in theory, though I have to admit that sometimes I’d really rather not have all that extra angst. At least there’s a... More »

javabeans: If American comic book-dom is perpetually confronted with the question “Who’s better, Superman or Batman?” then dramaland is equally confronted with the question… “Who’s better, Superman or Batman?” Because really, they sorta all fall into those archetypes. Just also wearing hanbok and manes o’ glory. Okay, with a fair dash of Robin Hood sprinkled... More »

Jeon Woo-chi: Episode 18

There’s distrust brewing everywhere, as the baddies gain the upper hand by splintering our gang with artfully placed misdirection at every turn. Now everyone’s got a hairy eyeball on someone else, which leads to a lot of pointing fingers at all the wrong people for all the wrong reasons. Thankfully our heroine’s still got her... More »

Jeon Woo-chi: Episode 17

Ooh, major roadblocks spring up for our hero, and they’re the most dangerous kind—the kind that threaten to splinter the good guys apart from the inside out. It’s a way of raising the stakes effectively, just when I thought we couldn’t raise them anymore—given that you can’t really outdo high treason or murder. But inasmuch... More »
