Joseon X-Files: Episode 12 (Final)
Finally, we reach the end of what I feel confident declaring one of the best shows I’ve seen in recent memory. I’ve seen a lot of dramas in the past year, and although there have been a lot of disappointments, just having one this good come along every year makes it worth it. (Last year... More »

Joseon X-Files: Episode 11
Episodes 11 and 12 are really two parts of one story (as were Episodes 7 and 8 ) and aired on the same night, so I considered writing them up together. But I think there’s enough to talk about in this one alone, although I plan to have 12 up shortly so we can get... More »

Joseon X-Files: Episode 10
I liked this episode a lot. I appreciate that the writers have taken the care to alternate lighter, funnier episodes with the darker, creepier, and/or more intense ones. The plot in this one is of a stand-alone nature, but since it involves all three members of our Team X-Files, I’m happy. Plus, even though the... More »

Joseon X-Files: Episode 9
This episode starts out seeming more disconnected from the others, making me think at first that it was a filler-type episode — but trust this drama to find a way to tie it to the secrets of the bigger picture as well. I’ll never doubt you again, Joseon X-Files! This was also a pretty funny... More »

Joseon X-Files: Episode 8
Finally, we get a deeper look into the mysterious motives of Yoon-yi — or at least one of them. And tied into that is a nice way of expressing the romantic angle through the plot without actually focusing heavily on romance. Episode 7 and 8 are really two halves of a whole story (with story...

Joseon X-Files: Episode 7
Oh man, this episode is brilliant. The more I think on it, the more brilliant it becomes. If we gave this the U.S. television treatment, this would be the episode winning a bunch of Emmys. I understand if it was confusing for viewers, though, because it’s not an episode whose message is clearly spelled out... More »

Joseon X-Files: Episode 6
This episode was a little (okay, a lot) scarier for me to watch, because ghosts and supernatural stuff always gets to me a lot more than, say, aliens or monsters or mutations. That said, don’t let my wimpiness scare you off, since everyone’s got a different set of standards for what constitutes fear-inducing. I just... More »

Joseon X-Files: Episode 5
Dare I say it? Okay, I’ll call it: Best drama of the year, folks. Given that statement, I feel doubly guilty for letting Joseon X-Files fall behind — apologies for the delay, but in case you hadn’t noticed, there are a lot of dramas airing at the moment! Trust the year to backload everything so... More »

He will train there for five weeks, then begin 22 months of active duty. Kim was recently the subject of a romantic “scandal” (which... More »

Kim Ji-hoon’s last photo shoot
Army enlistment is just a few days away for Kim Ji-hoon (sadness!), who has released this last photo spread, which comes from the October issue of Hello TV magazine. Kim recently wrapped filming on his latest drama, the sci-fi historical cable series Joseon X-Files, on September 28. Prior to that he took on a comedic... More »
