I find Vincenzo a hearty dish and it’s going to be one of those dramas where upon re-watch my opinion may shift and that’s the hallmark of a good series. The tvN hit drama ended with the 6th highest single episode ratings in network history so kudos to that. The drama has topped the Good Data weekly drama internet buzz … Continue reading →
Daaaaang, it’s the week of eye candy for the ladies I see. First there was Jung Il Woo tearing his shirt open in Bossam: Stealing Fate and turning a widowed princess thirsty AF, and now we have Namgoong Min doing his best Commando impersonation without looking like a himbo. There are new BTS stills of Namgoong Min filming the upcoming … Continue reading →
It’s a week full of Seo Ye Ji news which I’m certain her side is not ecstatic about as the there is no such thing as bad publicity doesn’t quite apply here. Today K-ent is reporting that she has officially confirmed to have dropped out of the upcoming OCN fantasy thriller drama Island which has cast Kim Nam Gil as … Continue reading →
It’s been a long time since a true sageuk has come my way and MBN series Bossom: Stealing Fate basically said “hold my beer” and blew me away in the first two episodes. Episode 1 set an MBN premiere record of 3.132% and episode dropped a bit to 2.960% but it’s basically a sageuk tailored to hit every craving of … Continue reading →
There was a lot to take in for the final episode 20 of Vincenzo and as a huge fan I was split in my reaction, the critical side thought it was well done and consistent with the path and message but as the pure drama viewer I didn’t enjoy this finale content. It veered into biblical imagery torture porn territory … Continue reading →
I’m sure the final casting will NOT be one of these talented and charismatic male actors but one can wish, along with appreciating the GIF and selection talents of K-netizens.

I’m mentally tearing up already watching episode 19 of Vincenzo, knowing it’s the penultimate episode makes it even more bittersweet. It’s been my weekend companion for 10 weeks now and other than the rather shaky first two episodes this journey has been 100% satisfying. This episode hit all the beats I expected, it wasn’t surprising that the denizens helped with … Continue reading →

One of these characters is not like the two others but what the hey, I do agree with the plea at the end. K-media this week shined a spotlight on three leading men of K-dramas Song Joong Ki, Lee Je Hoon, and Lee Seung Gi, each of whom is currently starring in a series. The article discussed how they are … Continue reading →
It’s been a fun week building up to the finale weekend of tvN Sat-Sun hit drama Vincenzo. The network released more BTS videos and in general I feel like I’m going to be saying goodbye to a group of family and friends. At the onset of the drama I complained about so many oddball denizens of Geumga Plaza but acknowledged … Continue reading →
The long (awaited?) saga of So I Married an Anti-fan has finally reached its conclusion.
