Mystery Drama Theater 3000: K-pop Ultimate Survival
by | June 2, 2012 | 121 Comments
Experiment! We’ve had this feature suggested to us a few times, and thought it sounded like an intriguing idea to watch a show for the first time and record our reactions in real time, MST3K-style. Sort of like a DVD commentary track, where you can watch and listen along at the same time. Our approach... More »

48th Baeksang Arts Awards
by | April 26, 2012 | 166 Comments
Baeksang Awards! This springtime award show has the distinction of honoring both film and television, sort of like the Golden Globes, and has been running for nearly half a century, since 1965. Since it’s not a broadcast station award (where you have a broadcaster giving awards to its own shows) but awards across stations, winning... More »

Park Yoo-hwan tries the bad-boy look for High Cut

javabeans: Is this attractive or awkward? girlfriday: Ha. Um… maybe both? javabeans: I can’t tell if I find his look discordant because it’s strange on its own, or if that’s because I so strongly associate him with his character from Thousand Day Promise. girlfriday: Yes, because he’s so squishy and cute, like an adorable little...

2011 MBC Drama Awards
by | December 30, 2011 | 121 Comments
Oh, MBC. I can always count on you for some awards-time whatthefuckery. Three years ago it was split Daesangs (daesang = Grand Prize), giving the same award to Kim Myung-min and Song Seung-heon and doubling awards in every category. Two years ago, there were more split awards, and last year we had the bizarre “Character... More »

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 20 (Final)
by | December 20, 2011 | 103 Comments
Blarg$@*&#()$%_)^#*%. I’m pretty sure this finale broke me. I mean, I knew going in what kind of show it was, but there’s a difference between having the detached knowledge that you’ll cry and actually sobbing out a river of tears. The show bowed out at a series high (19.8%) after flagging a bit in recent... More »

What do you mean you didn’t want your heart broken into a million pieces? There’s no backing out now, not this close to the end. As we prepare for the finale, the worst of it hits like a ton of bricks, with no mercy for Seo-yeon or for the people who love her. We’ve been... More »

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 18

There are several celebrations in this episode, and yet they feel like mournful last goodbyes as Seo-yeon comes a few steps closer to motherhood, and also retreats a few steps further into her mind. There’s an approaching feeling of finality to come, in the mood and the interactions between Seo-yeon and her family. *whimper* Hold... More »

Just when you think you’re all out of tears… Today’s episode is all about motherhood – the mother that Seo-yeon is to her brother, the mother who abandoned them, the mother who stepped in to take care of them, and the mother that she wants to be.

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 16
by | December 6, 2011 | 48 Comments
Oof. Hold on to your hats, folks, this one’s a doozy. But a good kind of doozy, especially for a show where not a lot changes from episode to episode, since we’re focusing more on the little changes from day to day and the characters’ reactions to the illness, which is taking up a larger...

Thousand Day Promise: Episode 15
by | December 5, 2011 | 58 Comments
A mostly contemplative episode, as the dust settles in each household. A cameo from another member of the Kim Soo-hyun family brings Song Chang-eui by, and it looks like he’ll stick around for a little while, which is awesome considering he’s pretty much the funniest thing about this episode. I can’t say anything good about... More »
