Normally I don’t jump ahead when it comes to recapping, but with respect to Zenkai Girl it’s pretty much a given this baby is going to end well. It might go insane for an episode or two, but it’s sure to … Continue reading

This was an odd episode of Ouran High School Host Club. Not sure if it was just me, but the episode fell rather flat, without the zany energy to sustain it, plus all the emotional touches felt forced rather than a … Continue reading
One thing Zenkai Girl has in spades, which is both a strength and a crutch, is how its issues are dealt with using such broad strokes. This is not a nuanced drama by any measure, and episode 6 cranks it … Continue reading
Okay, I take back what I said earlier – I am now officially very very angry with Protect the Boss. Or shall I say I am very very angry with Eun Seol. What the heck, girl? When did you become … Continue reading
[Edit: malware removed and site all fixed. Once google trawls again, it’ll remove the flag on my site and the warning will stop appearing.] Now moving on to the happy little drama that is Protect the Boss. I don’t know … Continue reading
Five episodes into Zenkai Girl and I officially love all the characterizations. Oh, and we have also achieved the princess carry. Woot woot! There are lots of extremes meant for contrast purposes, yet the characters feel so three-dimensional, like meeting … Continue reading

I kinda wish we can have just one drama with cute adorable kids that doesn’t involve the kid getting lost. It’s not all that common to lose a kid in real life, especially one as adorable as Piitaro. But the … Continue reading
Protect the Boss is resembling more and more a slice-of-life drama, with sprinklings of the more typical K-drama emotional hooks, but ultimately an ensemble story. Ji Heon and Eun Seol may be the hero and heroine, but they are not … Continue reading
This was an interesting episode of Protect the Boss, one that is starting to make me notice that the love triangle might be the weakest link in the story. While it was refreshing to see Moo Won and Ji Heon … Continue reading
Zenkai Girl, it does a soul good. Episode 3 was yet another charming one, confirming for me that this drama has discovered the ease of storytelling. It’s so deft, so sure of itself, which results in it being genuinely enjoyable … Continue reading
If watching (and following along with the drama-making-the-drama) of Spy Myung Wol made me feel like I just ran a marathon, I can only imagine the bone-deep exhaustion the actors and crew must feel for producing this for the past … Continue reading
