Sympathy for Mr. Sexy
I was going to title this post without the extra “y” at the end of the last word. So, you though this blog was going to be PG, or at most PG-13. Well, you thought wrong!

(LMHMG – you’ve got a loooong ways to go before you can do goth and still look as manly as these two) I guess I can write something about these two gentlemen, but then I doubt anyone would be reading it, since I’ve just performed a humongous fan service for both Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae fans alike … Continue reading →
My Drama Wants (Part I)
When watching dramas, if the story is gripping and the acting is stellar, everything just clicks into place. We are swept away by a cohesive wave of enjoyment, rarely taking the time to stop and analyze this and that.
Continue reading →My Drama Guilty Pleasures
After a post extolling the virtues and enjoyment of a K-drama widely considered a work of art (Goodbye Solo), I thought I’d get off my high horse and swing the pendulum in the other direction. I hereby present to you a series aimed at disseminating works of not-so-much-art.

A Mini-Review and Discussion Forum: Have you ever watched something so poignant in its humanity that you want to cry?

(Park Yong Ha’s smile – heartfelt, tender and oh-so-dashing) With a melody that wraps itself around your heart and lyrics that say everything you are thinking, this is a fitting song to play when I am thinking about how a shining star has left the K-entertainment industry.

(In Story of a Man) Sometimes it hurts so much, even when its so disconnected from your real life.

Instead of sleeping like a good koala should have been doing, I nearly pulled an all-nighter re-reading my stash of 7 Seeds. Yes, it’s that good. And no, I’m not exaggerating.

(Bidam – hotter when he’s holding a sword and styled like a Shilla warrior god) I am currently watching Bad Guy – which is not as good as I had hoped, but better than the average fare currently airing. I’m sticking with Bad Guy, primarily because it stars Kim Nam Gil.
