But I’m happy to report that I got a huge kick out of this episode, and thought it was a hoot. I wished it were... More »

by | May 3, 2011 | 68 Comments
Well THIS should be interesting. Variety program 1 Night 2 Days has scored a rather impressive lineup of stars for its upcoming Actress Special.

On May 2, Jang Dong-gun married fellow actress Go So-young, and given Jang’s status as one of Korea’s most popular (and most loved) actors, the wedding was pretty much the equivalent of a fancy awards ceremony red carpet.

Queen of Housewives (MBC)
by | April 7, 2009 | 93 Comments
I found MBC’s Monday-Tuesday drama Queen of Housewives [내조의 여왕] to be a pleasant surprise, as I hadn’t had any expectations for it.
