Episode 13 stayed steady in ratings from last week at 7.760% but honestly fell off a cliff for me on narrative and relationship development every which way in the main storytelling. Maybe Hae Hyo’s mom inching towards … Continue reading →

I don’t have second male lead syndrome in Record of Youth but episode 12 totally made me ship Hae Hyo and Jung Ah at the end of the episode.

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

When I saw these stills today I wondered how it could be that Park Bo Gum is out promoting a movie when he’s in the army. That’s how much his character Hye Joon in currently airing tvN drama Record of Youth reminds me of him just playing himself in chronicling his rise to stardom. His narrative, character, and performance remains … Continue reading →

I continue like but not yet love tvN Mon-Tues drama Record of Youth.
