Truth be told, episode 11 of 49 Days was a damn good episode, one that would have been great if only the writer could refrain from piling on the heavy handed dialogue and narrative constructs. But I appreciate how the … Continue reading

While I may have problems with the execution and plotting of 49 Days, I really do love the story it is attempting to tell. It takes the topics of life and death and actually tries to have a meaningful discussion … Continue reading
Okay, maybe we’re really on a roll here with 49 Days, because the preview for episode 11 was freaking awesome. Forward plot momentum, please don’t die on me or roll backwards like Sisyphus. This is the first time in 10 … Continue reading
While episode 10 of 49 Days really was the best episode to date, I don’t want to get my hopes up that episode 11 will continue to be so dense in plot movement. With that said, I love Ji Hyun’s … Continue reading
Screenwriter So Hyun Kyung is really quite a chameleon of a writer. If I didn’t know that she wrote Brilliant Legacy/Shining Inheritance (and Prosecutor Princess – the few episodes I watched), I would have never guessed she’s the writer of … Continue reading
This recap is dedicated to Scheduler. Thank you for throwing the most LOL-worthy temper tantrum/hissy fit I’ve seen on a grown man in any K-drama. That, my good man-boy-spirit-thing, inspired me to recap this dang episode just for you! Scheduler … Continue reading

I wouldn’t have started writing about dramas if I didn’t love watching dramas. I would love to write rambling stream-of-consciousness posts about dramas, but I elected to occasionally write recaps, which are time-consuming, especially at the speed I churn them … Continue reading
I think the mysteries in 49 Days are not all that interesting, such as why Min Ho and In Jung want to swindle Ji Hyun’s family, what Scheduler and Yi Kyung’s relationship is, why Kang is so affected by Ji … Continue reading
I can’t believe that 49 Days is close to the halfway mark today (its set for 20 episodes), partly because so little substantive plot has happened, and partly because it felt like an interminable slog for me to wade through … Continue reading
Wow, so a bit of perseverance and some patience really does pay off. This was the best episode of 49 Days to date, with some solid plot developments, character interactions, and wonderfully executed fantasy elements sprinkled here and there. I … Continue reading
The preview for episode 8 of 49 Days doesn’t tell us anything of import, but what the heck, at least the characters continue to intersect more and more. Other than Scheduler, I do not like any character in this drama … Continue reading
