Pinocchio is off to an excellent drama start after the second episode solidified the heart of the story without losing a beat from the quick first episode lead off. This particular story has picked a thematic conflict with broad based … Continue reading
The perfect one word description for the first episode of the highly anticipated new SBS Wed-Thurs drama Pinocchio is relief. It’s a relief this drama’s first episode is already better than whatever nuggets of quality was in its predecessor My Lovely … Continue reading
Thank the drama gods for the arrival of a new episode Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumisu right after a particularly dreadful K-drama just ended. Sure the wonderfully warm nuanced KwKY would stand up on its own as a thoughtful well-executed romance … Continue reading

How catastrophic would Bom-yi’s death be? Not just to me, either, to the whole Kang/Lee/Hanu Haon lion pride? Our sexy maned Dong-ha has only recently rediscovered his confidence in loving without bounds, and finally forgave himself for being unable to protect … Continue reading
From the moment Bom-yi decided she loved Dong-ha enough to risk both families’ censure, she accepted the battle to come. When she followed Dong-ha to Udo, he challenged her assertion that she understood the repercussions. “What do you plan on doing … Continue reading
