Going into this year end review, I wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic as I was last year. I can’t pinpoint why, other than perhaps I simply wrote so much I wore myself out. All my drama writing in the 365 days since the 2010 year end review did make my fingers consider going on strike. My brain wasn’t that far behind either. I convinced myself that everyone already knows what I think about the dramas I watched, so why bother writing more. It was only later that I conceded the redundancy argument was really a smokescreen for my laziness at play, so my gunner personality took over and evicted the striking fingers and brain from Occupy The Bed and made them get back to work. After much coffee and lots of random introspection, I managed to produce a year end review that has a lot of words. I make no promises any of it strings together into a coherent sentence.

Oy, Spy Myung Wol is like a recalcitrant child. I compliment it once for having a comparatively sane and decently plotted last (re: previous) episode, and it decides to make me wish I withheld the compliment because this episode appeared … Continue reading
Setting aside the shoddy script for Spy Myung Wol, this drama is actually really dramatic in ways that K-dramas have done less of in recent years. Everything happens so quickly and in such heightened degree in SMW world, from the … Continue reading
The written and video previews for episode 15 of Spy Myung Wol actually interests me, because it appears the story is making significant headway in plot. Rather than repeat the he loves me-he loves me not carousel of angst that … Continue reading
I really applaud the actors of Spy Myung Wol for gamely soldiering on to bring this beleaguered drama to a close. It’s not easy working on a low-rated drama, and I’ve never witnessed a drama encounter such degree of behind-the-scenes … Continue reading
Man, Spy Myung Wol has gone off the deep end. Even more than I thought possible or ought to. I feel like in the rush towards building up melodrama plot developments to set up an intense ending, thereby completely shucking … Continue reading
What’s a North Korean spy going to do when she’s torn between duty and love? I really wish I didn’t board the good ship Choi Ryu because it would be deliciously juicy to angst over a Hallyu star who put … Continue reading
This is Koala’s left hand posting. Her right hand is still on vacation and refuses to participate. But both her left and right eye happily viewed this preview for episode 12 of Spy Myung Wol and was mildly amused. Looks … Continue reading
Let’s keep this comments section just about discussing the drama Spy Myung Wol, and not the drama surrounding Spy Myung Wol, okay? The written preview for episode 12 confirms that the story will go forward from where Kang Woo’s big … Continue reading
