Lol, no especially when it’s late at night and the alternative is a major hottie like Lee Jae Wook as a real man and not a symbiote like these K-pop fans. Her apology letter actually made all major Western news channels including CNN and BBC and now K-netizens are feeling embarrassed.

I checked out of Alchemy of Souls after the first season but continued to watch season 2 as a casual bystander. Nothing that happens will upset me but I am curious to see what the Hong Sisters have in store … Continue reading

Man, watching the second episode of Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow was alternating between these two are cute and headdesking. It’s clear the Hong Sisters had a concept (soul switching! In sageuk fantasy times!) and then wrote the story … Continue reading
