Highs and lows (with no in-betweens)

T305

Are you game for possibly the hardest kdrama game you might ever play? (What? There are kdrama games? No one told me!) A game that requires you to think, to remember, to dig deep. A game that needs you to be BRAVE, because you might make some friends but more likely than not you will make many enemies, haha! *cue evil laughter* A game where something else (and also someone else) will be the … [Read more...]

Floored by Song Joong-ki

T295

There is much I could say about Song Joong-ki's performance in Tree With Deep Roots (2011). How I love that his voice can be gentle and tender, and yet also startle with its ferocity. How his eyes can blaze with such anger, but also soften with compassion as he watches a child grieve so inconsolably for his father. I could tell you about how my own eyes welled up as palace gates fling open and … [Read more...]
