Cinderella’s Sister: Episode 11
by | May 9, 2010 | 69 Comments
How far these two have come, right? I wish it had come a little earlier, because the shouting and fighting has been getting tiresome for a while now. This drama surely has enough dramatic territory to mine without worrying that a détente between the sisters would detract from the tension when in fact it reinvigorates... More »

On the set of Cinderella’s Sister
by | May 6, 2010 | 70 Comments
After all the angst and tears that have characterized Cinderella’s Sister recently, I have to say it’s refreshing to take a look at the following series of photos. They’re from the set of the KBS drama and give us a behind-the-scenes look at the cast when they’re not all doom and gloom. (I particularly like... More »

Cinderella’s Sister: Episode 10

Dang, I know I said Dae-sung should have died, but now that he has, I feel kind of bad about it. It’s just that this is the angst I was expecting in Episode 8; it’s been delayed one very long week, which explains why I agree with some of javabeans’ general lack of enthusiasm for... More »

They will cut you with that stare. Back away slowly. I’ll be honest and say I was not a fan of this episode, and it’s not because of what happens at the end. Oh, there was some stellar acting in it, as ever, and I don’t really have a problem with the angst levels. (There’s... More »

Cinderella’s Sister: Episode 3

She’s not as tough as she looks, is she? Don’t try to hide that you have a heart, you big softie! Loved this episode, which had a lot of character movement. This is such a good drama — whimsical, thoughtful, funny, and well-balanced. Prior to the drama’s premiere I had guessed it would be high-quality,... More »

girlfriday here, going for the double-album comeback tour by taking on another Wednesday/Thursday combo platter with javabeans. Looks like Thursdays are going be busy. Bring on the angst! I will have your tears for breakfast! This was the moment that I fell in love with Eun-jo. When I saw that she could be more than... More »

Cinderella’s Sister: Episode 1
by | April 2, 2010 | 182 Comments
Cinderella’s Sister is off to a strong start, not just in ratings but with some really stellar characterizations. It’s not as simplistic a switcheroo as My Love Patzzi, which was also a reversed Cinderella story but only in the most superficial way. Cinderella’s Sister doesn’t just take the characters and rearrange them into different configurations,... More »

Finally! The new Wednesday-Thursday battle is off, and the results are pretty consistent with my expectations, both content- and ratings-wise. First, the numbers: Cinderella’s Sister took the lead with a 16.7%, while Personal Taste was in second with a 12.7%. Prosecutor Princess trailed with a 7.3%. (Those are TNS Media numbers; AGB Nielsen gave the... More »

Last-minute cast changes to Birdie Buddy
by | March 24, 2010 | 8 Comments
Yoo Inna, Lee Mi-sook Casting changes are not usually a big deal and they’re pretty common in general, but I think when a drama goes through more than one significant drop-out at a late stage, things start looking shaky. Birdie Buddy first lost Seo Ji-hye as its star shortly after announcing her casting, and now... More »
