It’s the battle of the Moon/Sun bros! Jung Il-woo and Kim Soo-hyun each have cityscape photoshoots out this month (Jung Il-woo is in New York with 1st Look, and Kim Soo-hyun went to London for Bazaar), and I’ve decided they should face-off, zoolander style, for Best Blue Steel. Why, you ask? Absolutely no reason. Because... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 16
Aww yeah, the show is good again! This was a strong enough episode to make up (almost, sort of) for the boring stuff in the middle — lots of secrets discovered, truths ferreted out, and big reactions all around. This is also the episode to finally break the 40% mark, bringing in a 41.3% rating.... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 14
Woohoo, things finally get good with some major, major developments up in this hizzy.

And thus begins the noble sacrifice portion of the drama. At least the dramatic tension is certainly higher when the baddies gain some traction—it’s been a while since we’ve felt some real conflict around here other than broken hearts, and this episode marks a turn in upping the stakes. (At least death and torture are... More »
