Hey everyone!
With all of the Junho love going on in our discussion of The Red Sleeve, I thought it would be remiss of me not to post this performance that he did with Yoona, for the MBC Music Festival, which happened last night, 31 Dec. They also co-hosted the event, along with Jang Sung Kyu.

2022-01-01 00:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostE4. One of the things that has taken me by surprise, is how I don't find the zombies scary, in this show. Not that I've seen all that many zombie shows to compare with, certainly, since I'm a self-professed horror wuss (though that wuss part does seem to be evolving somewhat, to my surprise).
I'm guessing that part of it is my continuing evolution as a drama viewer, and my discovery that ...

I've decided that I will be dropping Melancholia after all, after 7 episodes. I will be writing a Dropped post for the main blog very soon.
In the meantime, I'm eyeing Bad and Crazy as our replacement show. In the event that that doesn't grab me, I'm also thinking of Uncle as a back-up. Between these two, I'm fairly con...

So I came across MORE snaps from Netflix, and sure, it looks like they kinda-sorta recreated the all-white photoshoot with everyone wearing different clothes, but do we care? No, no we do not. We just like seeing more Gong Yoo (and the rest of the cast from The Silent Sea, of course)! 😁
Enjoy! 🤩🤩😍😍

Ok, so I'm starting to get a sense for why I've heard fans of this show say that it's a lot of fun to watch, but there are a lot of things that don't make sense. There were at least several instances, this episode, where I found myself going, "Waitaminute.. that.. doesn't make sense..?"
And yet, this is somehow not deterring me from enjoying this show. That's some kind of ski...

Hi I’m Learjet (AKA Michelle). I’m a relatively new drama watcher. Netflix suggested that I watch My Halo Love in about March last year so I gave it a try. I wasn’t sold on the drama but I was fascinated by how different it was to any Western TV I’d ever seen and I landed up reading several articles about the diff...

2021-12-22 16:59:06 +0000 UTC View PostE2. My watch experience of this show feels so surprising, in the best possible way.
For one thing, as you guys would likely know, I am a total noob at the zombie genre. I have resisted all the famous zombie shows out there - even Train to Busan, even though Gong Yoo's in it(!). Wait. Does this mean that I have more fan loyalty to Park Hyung Sik than Gong Yoo..? 😳
ANYWAY. What I m...
2021-12-21 07:11:34 +0000 UTC View PostDear friends, greetings!
When Shahz first suggested this whole end-of-the-year thing, I thought to myself, well, I can't do that, I don't think I have actually watched 5 shows that aired in 2021. As a relatively new fan, I still have a long list of shows from previous years that I want to check out so I am not really looking for fresh stuff (or fresh blood, to joke around with my favourit...

E1. Well, that was.. bizarre and confusing and bemusing and perplexing, all at the same time. 😅
I have no idea where Show is going with this.
And based on what we've been shown, I have so many questions floating around in my head. Like, if the executors have been doing their thing for at least the last 10 years, why is it only coming to the attention of the general public now? I ...

I still like this show a lot, but at the same time, I also think that the initial glow of happy shock that this show is working for me so easily, is perhaps wearing off enough, that I'm now starting to see more clearly, the elements that are rubbing me the wrong way.
I mean, they're rubbing me the wrong way in a gentle enough manner that it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the show - but...

No word yet on whether we're going to see both Jung Hae In and Goo Kyo Hwan in Season 2, but I sure hope so! They were really good together, in Season 1. 🤩🤩
