In the future, all K-drama white knights have a lot of live up to. Han Kang is taking the role of the devoted friend to a new level of effectiveness, not content with just doing little things to support Ji … Continue reading

[Update: shared my closing thoughts below, whatever that’s worth, heh] I’m running out of ways to explain how 49 Days keeps getting better and keeps changing the game. If the first eight episodes were like my dog Maru turning in … Continue reading
I loved this episode, just a remarkable feat of stringing so many developed plot points together. 49 Days continues to inch up little by little in ratings (hitting 14 today), and I would love if this drama ended close to … Continue reading
That might look like the face of a cheerful oppa, but Kang Min Ho is no ordinary oppa, and his cheer is all for show. I think every actor should played a nuanced antagonist character at some point in his/her … Continue reading
49 days has six more episodes left, and I’m really curious how it’s all going to come together. Do I want it to unfurl in conventional ways that wrap up loose ends neatly, or do I want an out-of-the-box conclusion … Continue reading
I don’t think 49 Days is a romance-driven drama. Oh, people talk about love, but the emotion that is much more rooted in the past rather than the present. Characters are either falling out of love, rekindling the love, or … Continue reading

49 Days has a lot of mystery, but it’s not really the tense or spooky kind that makes me anxious. I find myself okay either way – if Ji Hyun gets her 3 tears or not – because I think … Continue reading
Help me. Too many dramas goodies + too little time = zero ability to synthesize information anymore. My brain has reached maximum drama influx capability. I think the preview for 49 Days episode 13 is good, but I can’t seem to … Continue reading
I knew this would happen. Since 49 Days is not my crack of choice (the way it is for others of you), the onslaught of pre-premiere goodies for the May dramas and the completely unexpected awesomeness that is Drunken to … Continue reading
I find 49 Days to be curious drama, one that eschews more standard set ups, but also lacks the comfortable beats. I love how it’s the opposite of makjang, and really very atmospheric, moody, and melancholy. I’m glad I stuck … Continue reading
