History of the Rooftop Fashion King: Episode 1 (35)
Sit tight. Because what you’re about to read is a tale so fantastical it’ll leave you alternately reeling and hooting. If owls (and diaper-clad chickens) are your thing, and if you enjoy intrigue and romance (and also a spot of comedy, intentioned or not), you’ve come to the right place. But first, a disclaimer. Any ...

A Wife’s Credentials: Episode 4 (5)
[Witty, whimsical, and also wicked (oh yes, how I giggled at the double and triple entendres, the innuendos and irony), this episode was a blast. I can’t believe how fast things are moving for my two favorite couples: Seo-rae and her dentist, Seo-rae and her Yudo master… Wait a minute. Seo-rae and who? Yup, you ...

Highs and lows (with no in-betweens) (167)
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 ...

Meet Totuta (20)
If you’re like me and can’t watch a kdrama without English subtitles, you’ll rank fansubbers way up high on that totem pole called “The People Most Deserving Of Blame For My Kdrama Addiction.” Said pole also nicknamed “Kdrama Folks That I Lurve The Most Who Aren’t Actors.” Fansubbers. What will we do without them? Long ...

Haunters (8)
Are you a collector? Do you willy-nilly collect every piece of your favorite actor’s work without pausing to check if the piece is worth the collecting? Are you also an optimist? A movie title such as “Haunters” should stop you in your tracks since you shun anything remotely suggestive of horror, but now you pick ...

First… We have new clothes! *ducks a steady stream of brickbats* How do you dig the makeover? *gets bonked on the head by an extra-large brick* Wait, let me explain! The other day it occurred to me (an epiphany of sorts, rather like being hit on the head with a, yup, brick) that this year ...

Let’s talk spoilers (117)
I love being surprised. I love watching a drama or movie with no inkling of what is coming up or who is appearing next. Take my current crack drama, The Princess’s Man. When the villain of the story first appeared in Episode 1, he seemed vaguely familiar but I just could not remember where I ...

2011 – A Year in Review (47)
This year has been a wild ride in k-dramaland. From the excesses of Secret Garden fandom to little shows popping up on new cable channels, it’s been interesting to say the least. I made a list and checked it twice, and I was struck by the number of shows that I had watched at least ...
