The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 15
Well look who turned the ship around in the eleventh hour. Okay, so it’s more like the ninth hour. Whatever. The important thing is, I like the heroine again. Halle-freaking-lujah. And Yang-myung kills it, and me, in this episode. Moon/Sun consistently inches higher in the ratings, with this one hitting a new series high at... More »

High Kick 3 pre-empted due to ongoing MBC labor strike
Heads up, High Kick 3 fans: The entire week will be episode-less, and instead specials have been airing daily. If you’ve been watching the show live, you’ll already know this; if you’re a regular recap reader, note that this means there won’t be one this weekend.

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 14
Woohoo, things finally get good with some major, major developments up in this hizzy. I’d been slowly losing interest with every episode, resigning myself to the fact that maybe this would just be one of those dramas that lost steam as it went on. Thankfully, I think it just found its second wind. I’m not... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 13
And thus begins the noble sacrifice portion of the drama. At least the dramatic tension is certainly higher when the baddies gain some traction—it’s been a while since we’ve felt some real conflict around here other than broken hearts, and this episode marks a turn in upping the stakes. (At least death and torture are... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 12
All right, time to up the stakes, and ratchet up the emotion on all sides. People are pushed into corners, and characters take one step closer to making some finite decisions. Hwon takes one step forward in the big mystery of years past, but also suffers a setback as the baddies get crafty, too. And... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 11
Yay, the fun is back! I love this episode. It’s full of funny pranks, stealthy missions, and some new mystical elements that work nicely to integrate our characters further. Hwon finally starts playing detective and asking some key questions, and I say, IT’S ABOUT TIME. Tags: featured, Han Ga-in, Jung Il-woo, Kim Min-seo, Kim Soo-hyun,... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 10
What a fantastic episode for our men. This really should be The Sun Embraces That Other Sun (And Heck, Also Those Other Friendly Suns, While We’re At It). Yes, the two suns are brothers and that would require breaking a number of taboos, but hey, I’m game if you are. Sigh. Another ratings increase (the... More »

The Moon That Embraces the Sun: Episode 9
Wol finds out just how much danger lies inside the palace walls, and the king struggles to keep his curiosity, and his heart, locked away. It’s a crucial episode for Wol’s character, who hits rock bottom in more ways than one. Ratings hit another high today at 34.5%, which is kind of insane. I thought... More »

girlfriday: Well, this is an idea gone awry. javabeans: Is…that…who I think it is? Well, that’s embarrassing. girlfriday: Someone took “flower boy” way too literally. Those pants are just… wow. javabeans: Look, just because they’re called “flower boys” doesn’t mean you have to represent every part of that etymology, in picture form. Tags: conversation post,...

Moon/Sun: Behind the scenes and on Strong Heart
It’s always fun to peek behind the curtains — or scenes, I should say — of drama productions, particularly with a show that’s been capturing as much of the public’s attention as current sageuk sensation The Moon That Embraces the Sun. Here’s a recent series of behind-the-scenes photos with the cast members, a couple of... More »
