This was the first episode of Cheongdamdong Alice since the uneven episode 1 that I didn’t like. I don’t hate it, but some of the characterizations really annoyed me even if the seeds were sprinkled earlier on. I guess what … Continue reading
If my reaction to Cheongdamdong Alice was a reflection on its quality, this episode might have sucked donkey balls because I fell asleep watching it. But that is a feint, I tell you. The reality was that I was so … Continue reading
Cheongdamdong Alice is truly trying my patience. Or shall I say SBS is trying my patience, with yet another week without any previews for the most part. We’re a day away from episode 7 and the dang network finally releases … Continue reading
