I’m cautious about upcoming Channel A romance drama Touch, not cautiously optimistic but straight up wary about this drama due to the lead pairing. Forty-something Joo Sang Wook is playing the romantic male lead opposite 20 year old Kim Bora who looks her age and then some. She would be believable still playing a high school student and for sure … Continue reading →
In the end the whole was so much of a mess the individual lacking elements just feels not as integral a problem.

If I accidentally landed in North Korea I would be a worried about getting fed to pigs or ending up in a labor camp.
