Level 7 Civil Servant: Episode 10
Love is in the air. Today it’s Libido vs. Family, which you wouldn’t normally think were at odds, but then you’ve probably never met Seo-won’s family. Outwardly it seems like an entire episode about Gil-ro trying to get laid. Thematically, it’s about timing—the funny kind, the sad kind, and the kind that changes everything. Tags:... More »

Level 7 Civil Servant: Episode 9
Dating’s hard enough without having your whole workplace in on the details, isn’t it? Based on today’s ratings, the new shows are still shifting and settling into their places, but this is more what I expected (and what I suspect will remain the order): That Winter shook off IRIS 2—both were co-first place last episode—with...

1 Night 2 Days: Episode 425
EPISODE 425. Broadcast on February 10, 2013. javabeans: We start the new episode at three freakin’ a.m, with the note that our producers are “on the way to pick up special guests.” How special are they that you’re dragging them out of bed at three freakin’ a.m.? girlfriday: That’s not morning. You might as well... More »

Level 7 Civil Servant: Episode 8
I like this couple much more when they’re being cute than when they’re yelling or lying, so this week as a whole was an improvement for me. I hope that once the romance is in full force we’re not heading too far into angst territory, since this show is better being silly than it is... More »

Level 7 Civil Servant: Episode 7
Things are heating up rather nicely. When the mission is in danger of failing, it forces everyone’s feelings to the surface, and suddenly confessions come tumbling out left and right. The question is, who’s lying, who’s telling the truth, and who can even believe anyone who’s trained to beat a polygraph? Spies. Yeesh. New Wednesday-Thursday... More »

1 Night 2 Days: Episode 424
EPISODE 424. Broadcast on February 3, 2013. javabeans: Time to return to our history-themed winter special. Baekje and Silla have had their beard-yanking war, with Baekje winning (both the game and the victory lunch). How like this show to contradict history in a history-centric exercise. girlfriday: Right? It wouldn’t be 1N2D if they were all... More »

Level 7 Civil Servant: Episode 6
Now that the show is capitalizing on its central premise, it feels like we’re finally getting into the right rom-com groove. As the attraction starts to grow, so does the conflict between country and comrade, and our heroine finds herself trapped before she’s even decided where she stands. Finale week brought a swap in the... More »

Level 7 Civil Servant: Episode 5
Ah, finally some emotional movement here, with solid connections and conflicts coming to the fore. I’m liking our plot advancement into real agent missions a lot more than the Spy School training, because I don’t think the show capitalized on the potential for fun at the academy. It opted for comic bits that ran juvenile,... More »
