Spring Waltz: Review

Spring Waltz, like any melodrama, has a way of sucking you in from the start. Part of it has to do with the beautiful actors, and part of it could probably be attributed to the music. Whatever the reason, I was morbidly hooked from the start. To be honest, I don't do melos. Ever. The closest I've been was Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy, but even that is mostly billed as a rom-com.

Man of Steel, Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers: First Looks

Superhero movies are a growing trend these days. To some, they're like crack and too much is never enough. To others, like me, who are self-proclaimed movie buffs but not devout comic book geeks, they're like any other movie.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 8 Mini-recap

The game-changer! It's finally here. So much fun in this episode.  It's my favorite whole episode so far, which is saying a lot because this show has a real problem pulling things together cohesively. Regardless, Stony-faced Robot Boy ain't so much an ice block anymore, and everyone gets a taste of their own medicine.

Status Update: August 22 - August 25 Version

Hey, guys! I take it that anyone reading this blog has realized by now that I'm massively behind on recaps. Moving has required much more time and effort than I was counting on since I've been hitting snags pretty much at every turn. The new semester at my university starts on Monday (August 22), but I'm going to try to use the first week to play catch-up with Spy Myung-wol and Protect the Boss recaps, both of which I haven't actually been able to even keep up with, watching-wise.

Sorry about this new inconvenience. With school starting, my hope is that my schedule will be a lot more consistent, so updates should get better. Summer is just too unpredictable, yah know?

Episode 8 for Myung-wol might be up tomorrow, but that all depends on my internet situation at the new apartment. Protect the Boss Episode 2 will be up at the beginning of the week. I'll try to keep up with news posts and previews as they come up.

Thanks for your patience if you are reading! :)

Han Ye-seul returns to Korea and releases public apology

So, last we heard, Han Ye-seul had safely arrived in Los Angeles just as her mother landed at Incheon International Airport in Korea. Since then, the Spy Myung-wol Saga, as I have dubbed it, has concluded on a gratifying note for all those involved, including the actress herself.

Han Ye-seul's mother arrives in Korea to resolve the 'Myung-wol' situation

If you've been keeping an eye on Korean entertainment news at all lately, you'll know about Han Ye-seul's abrupt departure from the production of her spy rom com Spy Myung-wol on August 14. Now, it seems, her mother has arrived in Korea to straighten things out.

Spy Myung-wol opts to air special as a result of unfinished shooting

 Spy Myung-wol has been getting a lot of bad publicity the last couple of days since news broke that lead actress Han Ye-seul didn't show up at the filming location to complete this week's episodes.

Spy Myung-wol gets an extension

Oh, happy day.

Our beautiful Spy Myung-wol couple is getting an extension, according to the awesome girls over at Dramabeans! For those who have been keeping up (like me), you know that things at the end of this week's airings heated up a lot, and news of an extension is actually something that excites me for once.

Spy Myung-wol: Episode 7 Mini-recap

In which Myung-wol kicks some more ass and Kang-woo finally realizes his own feelings. This was a good episode, and left me salivating for the next, because, let's face it, who doesn't love this show? The whack factor is high and so is the chemistry factor, so you really can't go wrong.

Protect the Boss: Episode 1 Recap

This show sparks my interest in a way very different from Myung-wol, which is weird, because I got a very similar vibe from it, watching the previews. Not to say that's a bad thing, because I know just from Episode 1 that I'm going to love it. I'm drawn to flawed chaebol heroes like bees are to honey, and kick-ass heroines are never a bad thing, so put them both in one show? You couldn't possibly go wrong. I hope.
