Gu Family Book: Episode 3
Now that our hearts have been thoroughly broken by the beautifully sad love story of our story’s prologue (seriously, I was pretty wrecked over it, having grown so invested in their relationship), it’s time to start mending them with the introduction of our actual main characters. I was so sucked into the world of the... More »

Gu Family Book: Episode 2
What a lovely way to start a story. I almost never get this invested in backstory, because it’s really hard to be patient when you know that what you’re watching is the opening act and not the headliner. But our hero’s origin story is as sweeping and romantic and narratively rich as any main event,... More »

Gu Family Book: Episode 1
Gorgeous. A thoroughly gripping, well-told, and moving first episode. We haven’t yet met the main characters of our present-day storyline (as in, Lee Seung-gi, Suzy, and company) but the show has such a deft hand in drawing out the backstory that I didn’t mind having to wait. The introduction of the parents’ meeting is both... More »

The ladies of InStyle’s tenth anniversary issue
Well, if In Style wanted to make a statement for their tenth anniversary, I think they managed with their March issue. I’m just not sure what that statement is. Romantic circus fashion? Handbags can be hats? Stars will do anything you tell them to if you call it a concept? To go with the ten-year... More »

A romantic first encounter for Gu Family Book
I’ve been scratching my head trying to get a read on Gu Family Book ever since it was announced, and having trouble knowing what to expect. Would it be a comedy or a melodrama? Fusion or straight sageuk? Thrilling or romantic or action-packed or dramatic? We’ve got a lovely set of stills here that at... More »

Lee Yeon-hee cast in Gu Family Book
Er? Okay, so honestly, news of Lee Yeon-hee possibly joining the cast of the Lee Seung-gi/Suzy fantasy sageuk Gu Family Book had me going: Huh? What? WHY? Because for one, not a huge fan, and also that’s two female leads, and Lee Yeon-hee trumps Suzy on the leading lady scale. That would make me unhappy.... More »
