by | February 6, 2012 | 28 Comments
Ex-vampire-prosecutor Yeon Jung-hoon‘s new drama For the Emperor (or Here’s To the Emperor) has secured its leading lady in Eom Ji-won (Sign, The Woman Who Still Wants to Marry). Damn, just what I need — another drama to watch. I love each of them separately, but together? Okay, so maybe Yeon Jung-hoon with anyone is... More »

Yeon Jung-hoon hit it big with cable in last year’s sensation, Vampire Prosecutor, and now he’s heading back (though on a different station) for another drama, tentatively titled For the Emperor. (Another reading: Here’s To the Emperor.) No, it’s not a sageuk or a fantasy empire we’re dealing with. The plot deals with a young... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 12 (Final)

Ooh, I love this ending. Since most of us have found the final reveal regarding the big bad somewhat expected, I’m thrilled to realize it wasn’t actually the final reveal — hello, twist! This finale managed to do a tricky thing: Tie up the loose ends to satisfy the seasonal mystery, while leaving room open... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 11
by | December 11, 2011 | 74 Comments
It’s the beginning of the end, and we finally start to get some real answers about the Big Bad. This episode zooms by, mostly because it’s effectively creepy and everything culminates in a big suspenseful buildup of all the clues we’ve gathered thus far.

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 10
by | December 4, 2011 | 70 Comments
We get a huge piece of the Big Vampire Puzzle in this episode, setting us up for the Finale, Part 1 next weekend. But even discounting that, we’ve got another strong case-of-the-week, which sends our prosecutors (and us) spinning round in clue-hunting circles, somehow finding the circle has changed with every turn we take. It’s... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 9
by | November 27, 2011 | 52 Comments
I love this episode. So much. It’s mobsters and mayhem, full of twists, awesome thug nicknames, and good ol’ fashioned backstabbing and blackmail. Jung-in’s past finally catches up to her, and the outcome is more fun and more gripping than I expected.

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 8

Character development, pretty cameos (Lee Jong-hyuk!), and a bit of a complicated plot. All together, we’ve got a longer running time today, and I’ll try to do this without becoming totally tangled up and confused. I can’t promise it won’t be, but I’ll give it a shot. SONG OF THE DAY Rossy Punky Perfume –... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 7

Dear Vampire Prosecutor: Why so cute? Sigh. This show just keeps getting better and better. Between the last episode and this one, I think it’s found that sweet spot of integrating character moments with the murder of the week, and introducing the kind of conflict that matters to us. There’s stirrings of romance, conflicting feelings,... More »

Vampire Prosecutor: Episode 6
by | November 6, 2011 | 56 Comments
I just LOVE when a dark, suspenseful show throws in a nice big dash of humor. Full of wry comedy, this episode got a lot of laughs out of me. It’s also an exercise in the whodunnit style of mystery — you know, those stories where you’ve got a dead body in a secluded mansion... More »
