I really appreciate that things are moving swiftly along, as girlfriday pointed out in yesterday’s recap. It’s so much more satisfying when the show remains a step ahead of you instead of broadcasting everything far in advance and cluttering up your path with obvious angsty obstacles, so that the only things lying between us and...

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 3

So much cuteness today, I don’t even know how they crammed it in to one episode, all while moving along the plot and giving us a glimpse of the darkness ahead. I find myself in the weird conflict of wanting to linger in these teenage moments (adorable and heart-warming — I could watch a whole... More »

But the drama has attracted a steady, if smallish, fanbase who are drawn to the drama’s fresh take on a familiar genre of summer horror fare. Here are some candid photos... More »
