If you’re allergic to Joo Won (I used to be!) or dislike angry bloodied men with a gun this this is clearly NOT for you. But for the rest of us it’s like the logical next step after Joo Won did Alice. Make him angrier (haha) and take away his memory and see what havoc he wreaks. The first stills and poster is out for the Netflix K-movie Carter, dropping August 5th in what looks to be a shoot ’em up K-version of The Bourne Identity. All we know is that he’s got no memory, but knows how to fight and shoot a gun, and is then sent on some mission. Done and done, I’m be along for the ride with you my boy!

I thought one mediocre Joseon prohibition era drama this year was one too many already but now there is a second one coming. Earlier this year I was totally underwhelmed with Moonshine (Thinking of the Moon When the Flowers Bloom) … Continue reading

I wonder if I lived too long to see a concept and immediate associate with it something very similar. Netflix has started filming for its original programming K-movie Carter starring Joo Won and Lee Sung Jae. The story is about … Continue reading

The 2020 SBS Drama Awards are in the bag and boy was it a stuffed bag. The stars didn’t do the red carpet, only hosts Kim Yoo Jung and Shin Dong Yeop was masked and met the media. The attendees … Continue reading

I don’t think any K-drama has fallen apart as hard and as hard to watch (because I love it so much) as SBS Fri-Sat sci-fi drama Alice. A dissertation could be written on it but that would be giving it … Continue reading

Yeah, I freaking hate SBS drama Alice and definitely regret spending 16 episodes with it. The upside is learning to love male lead Joo Won, re-energizing my love for Kwak Si Yang, and meeting fresh face Lee Da In as … Continue reading

I won’t regret watching SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice despite its horrific levels of insanity and shark jumping in the last few episodes but goodness is this going down in flames. This Friday’s episode 15 just had me laughing and making … Continue reading

SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice would have benefited so much from airing on OCN and being a tight 12-episodes like Train. I’m making this conclusion even though it’s not finished yet because the last few episodes have felt like much ado … Continue reading

I’m still on the fence on whether the best thing about SBS fantasy time travel drama Alice is Joo Won or second male lead Kwak Shi Yang. It’s not a diss on Joo Won because he’s been incredibly on point … Continue reading

Until I watched K-dramas I never realized an entire population would be captivated by a physical trait known as “small face”. Like, what? Years later it’s clear that having a small face remains frequently used in netizen comments and even … Continue reading

I paused writing about SBS time travel drama Alice because while I am still watching the inexplicable flourishes the production insists on adding that adhere to K-drama tropes. I really wish this drama aired on OCN instead, alas it doesn’t … Continue reading

I’m so glad to see more viewers getting into SBS Fri-Sat drama Alice, though the downside is enduring the weekly wait with us all now. This weekend’s episode 3-4 continued the great starting momentum of the opening two episodes and … Continue reading
