Nine: Episode 2
by | March 12, 2013 | 73 Comments
The second episode has a better emotional hook, as the people around our hero get a chance to react to what’s happening to him. In that sense, it’s nice that the story moves fast enough that we’re not wasting time with big misunderstandings. But overall it’s not a speedy show—the pace could use a swift... More »

Nine: Episode 1
by | March 11, 2013 | 71 Comments
Today saw the premiere of Nine: Nine Time Travels, which I’ll just be calling Nine since redundancy is redundant. Also redundant. The show comes from the team behind Queen In-hyun’s Man, and for that alone it was worth noting — In-hyun was deftly directed, gorgeously shot, and had a polished, cinematic flair. On the other...

The poster for tvN’s new time traveling drama Nine is out, and I have to say, it isn’t exactly the most inspired. But maybe there’s still a chance they’ll go back in time to make it better? What do you mean you don’t want to waste a precious time slip trip for that? At least... More »

Nine’s melancholy and mysterious teasers
by | February 13, 2013 | 56 Comments
Ooh, I’m intrigued by the tone of these teasers for the new tvN time traveling drama Nine — they’re moody and dramatic, and steeped in regret. Beautiful regret, mind you, but just enough to make this a darker, more mysterious world than I had anticipated, and I find myself a little more interested than when... More »

Poster shoot photos from tvN’s upcoming Nine
by | February 7, 2013 | 36 Comments
It isn’t very much, but at least we get a glimpse into the tvN time-traveling drama Nine: Nine Time Travels (or, to avoid redundancy, just Nine), which stars Lee Jin-wook as a quantum-leaping news anchor who jumps back twenty years and is out to solve a crime. Unlike Queen In-hyun’s Man (which is the producing... More »

Casting finalizes on Nine, the drama not titled Court Lady
by | January 9, 2013 | 71 Comments
Whoops, so Court Lady—that follow-up cable drama being produced by the team who put out last year’s addictive romance-fantasy Queen In-hyun’s Man—turns out not to be Court Lady after all, but a different title entirely: Nine: Nine Time Travels. But you know, maybe imma just bypass the confusion by calling it AWESOME. To explain the... More »

Well that was fast. If it’s one thing tvN knows, it’s how to brand a hot thing — in this case it’s the PD-writer combo behind this year’s hit time-traveling romance Queen Inhyun’s Man, director Kim Byung-soo and writer Song Jae-jung. The band is back together for a follow-up drama slated for the new year... More »

by | October 24, 2012 | 43 Comments
If you haven’t checked out this drama, which is a follow-up/sequel/spin-off to last year’s I Need Romance, then at least read the wonderful recap by gummimochi for episode 1, and then go watch the drama. I Need Romance 2012 is a delightful little gem that is a little more refreshing than the zany romantic comedies out there.... More »

I Need Romance 2012: Episode 1
by | August 5, 2012 | 88 Comments
What a delectable opening act for a summer romantic-comedy about a pair of longtime lovers whose love fizzles out and settle to be next-door neighbors. Yet the writers give us hints that perhaps they care far more than they’re letting on. Will they be able to convey their true feelings or will a mystery man... More »
