Boys Before Flowers: Episode 21
Three good episodes in a row! What is going on here? Okay, okay. Perhaps if I were to take a coldly analytical look at this, I might concede that all three episodes in question (and then some) were mightily flawed and riddled with enough logic holes to make you think a Plot-Eating Moth had invaded...

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 17
I don’t know if this was by design or by chance (because of the broadcast delay), but this episode had some quieter moments, which have been a rare thing in this series — it’s usually so jam-packed with The Drama. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, though, because for once we had a little... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 8
Ratings continue to rise; this episode posted the highest numbers thus far (25.9%), widening the gap between now-second-place East of Eden (21.8%). Just to clarify, I know what generally happens in the original story, but when I’m talking about this drama, I don’t care so much what’s supposed to happen, or how a certain event... More »

Boys Before Flowers: Episode 7
And it only took three weeks: This episode finally managed to topple the Monday-Tuesday behemoth East of Eden from its top ratings perch into second place, beating it by 2%. There was perhaps one main cringey moment in Episode 7, but for the most part I really enjoyed it. That said: GAHHHH! CURSE YOU, CLIFFHANGER!!... More »

Kim Hyun-joo still waiting for her payday
Kim Hyun-joo appeared in her last drama, Insoon is Pretty, a year ago, but she still hasn’t received full payment for it. She filed a lawsuit on the 19th to demand payment; drama production company (Kim Jong-hak Productions) and her former management company (Yeonyeong Entertainment) owe her approximately 100 million won, or about $70,000. Yeonyeong... More »

“Love Your W” raises funds for breast cancer
A lot of famous faces showed up to the 3rd “Love Your W” Breast Cancer Fund-raising Party on October 23rd, held at the Villa de Bailey in Seoul’s Kangnam district. By the way, the “love your W,” as nonsensical as it sounds, refers to loving thy bosom. One guess as to what the W indicates.... More »

Insoon Is Pretty: Episode 2
Huh. Well now, this is unexpected: I did not like Episode 2. I’m used to finding second episodes to be a marked improvement from the first, but rarely the opposite. It’s strange for me to find an episode 1 to be good and the following markedly less so. Episode 1 was subtly moving, understated and... More »

Insoon Is Pretty: Episode 1
Man. Another drama I like = another drama with low ratings. Should I even be surprised anymore? Watching Episode 1 of Kim Hyun Joo’s new drama Insoon Is Pretty, I wasn’t sure if it was the kind I’d want to keep watching through the end. Quality’s not the issue; the acting is good, the dialogue... More »

Insoon Is Pretty (for a killer?)
The upcoming KBS Wednesday-Thursday drama Insoon Is Pretty is one I’m keeping my eye on. This is Kim Hyun Joo‘s (above left) comeback drama — although it bugs me that the word ‘comeback’ is misused an awful lot, thrown around to describe anything from a true comeback to merely a star’s next project (summer 2007′s...
