Wonderful Season: Episodes 1-2
Wonderful Season is the new KBS weekend family drama that began last weekend, and as noted, it’s a hit right out of the gates. It had a good lead-in with KBS’s previous ratings blockbuster King’s Family, but don’t expect anything like that show in this one (a great thing, by anyone’s measure)—Wonderful Season is thoughtful,...

Kim Hee-sun and Lee Seo-jin’s first shoots for Wonderful Season
You know, I didn’t realize just how much I missed Seo-jinnie until he popped up at the end of the last Noonas Over Flowers episode to laugh at Seung-gi’s ineptitude, and I found myself squealing. Good thing we’re getting a double dose of him in the new year, with a new Grandpas Over Flowers trip... More »

Taecyeon romances Basketball’s Lee Elijah in new drama
I’m wondering who it is that watched the ill-fated Occupation-set period drama Basketball, took in lead actress Lee Elijah’s awkward and sometimes confusing performance, and thought, “Yes, let’s ask her to act some more.” Because I would like to suggest to that person that a re-evaluation might be in order of their eyes, decision-making process,...

The ladies of InStyle’s tenth anniversary issue
Well, if In Style wanted to make a statement for their tenth anniversary, I think they managed with their March issue. I’m just not sure what that statement is. Romantic circus fashion? Handbags can be hats? Stars will do anything you tell them to if you call it a concept? To go with the ten-year... More »

One episode left! We’re at the end, which means the conflict centralizes upon our most important story threads in our finale week.
