Early Access: Doom At Your Service E1

E1. I've heard so much positive buzz around this show, that you can safely consider this as me entertaining my FOMO, even though I've just backed away from a show where a lead character is predicte...

Hi my dear friends,

I wanted to let you know that I've decided to drop Oh! Master, after 9 episodes. The Dropped post will be up on the blog in about 12 hours (8am my time), and the show that...

Early Access: Scripting Your Destiny E7

E7. Ooh, our story is taking an epic turn that I hadn't seen coming, for some reason. Given that I've watched many dramas where characters are given destined lovelines that involve childhood connec...

Early Access: Scripting Your Destiny E6

E6. To be honest, I found my interest waning slightly this episode; that is, until Show does a quick turn into the idea of Ho Yoon and Che Kyung living in the same apartment. Ha. With one fell swoo...

Early Access: Youth Of May E2

E2. Augh. Well, it looks like Show is all poised to steal my heart - if it hasn't already stolen it already, with this episode.

Mainly, I think I'm smitten with Lee Do Hyun.. although, what e...

Early Access: Scripting Your Destiny E5

E5. Things are moving along pretty fast, but because this is a short-format show with no room for filler, the development of our story feels warranted and suitably-timed, instead of rushed. I like ...

E1. I don't know what I was expecting from this show, but I certainly wasn't expecting Show first episode to primarily vibe chaotic, but yet manage to end on an almost whimsical note. I'm.. intrigu...

Early Access: Scripting Your Destiny E4

E4. Show manages to pack quite a bit of enjoyment into each of its compact episodes. I literally look forward to watching episodes of this show with anticipation, and that's saying a lot, for a lit...

Early Access: Scripting Your Destiny E3

E3. This little show is proving to be so enjoyable and fun, that I feel like referring to it as a web drama is a bit of an injustice, now. Now I'm starting to be concerned about whether Show will b...

Early Access: Scripting Your Destiny E2

E2. I am so pleased with how well I'm enjoying this show, so far. This doesn't feel like the average web drama - well, at least, not the ones that I've watched anyway. Most web dramas that I've see...

Early Access: Scripting Your Destiny E1

E1. Given that this show is technically a web drama, since it's released by online streaming platform TVing, I'm pleasantly surprised at how promising this one feels, right away.

Early Access: Beyond Evil E1

E1. This is a case of my following drama buzz that's leading me far out of my wheelhouse. I was absolutely not planning to check out Beyond Evil, because I'm not much into crime stories or serial m...

Early Access: Oh! Master E2

E2. I feel like Show is still finding its feet somewhat, in terms of landing on a tone and vibe that will take us through the rest of our story, but we are still clearly in set-up mode, so I'm will...

Early Access: Navillera E2

E2. Uff. You guys, I don't know if I could love Deok Chul any more than I do now, but I tell ya, Deok Chul has me by the heart, fully and unequivocally.

I just love how earnest and sincere De...

Early Access: Oh! Master E1

E1. After hearing some mixed reactions to this one, including the fact that our male lead is quite unlikable, at least in this initial stretch, I honestly wasn't sure if I would like this first epi...

Early Access: Navillera E1

E1. Ooh. I like this one a lot, and right away.

I mean, I'd heard that Show might take a while to grow on me, particularly because the initial episodes can be rather melancholic, but.. I'm pl...

Early Access: Vincenzo E2

E2. It occurs to me that this role is perfect for Song Joong Ki, right in this moment, in his career. He's young enough to still capitalize on his baby face, thus making Vinny appear innocent and c...

E1. Honestly, I wasn't really intending to check out this show, but since the show's premiere, I've heard enough positive things that I became intrigued. FOMO, y'know?

Hi everyone,

This is a quick heads-up post, to keep you guys updated while I get things sorted.

Early Access: Sisyphus E2

E2. This show is turning out to be quite the rollercoaster, in a really good way. This hour flew by, and even though my head is still swimming with questions, I'm having a good time.

Early Access: River Where The Moon Rises E2

E2. Compared to our pilot episode, this episode feels more down-to-earth, in the sense that we see things in a more close-up, personal sort of fashion. Last episode was all about a macro view of th...

Early Access: River Where The Moon Rises E1

E1. Wow. That was quite an opening episode. So much to digest, and so many characters; it all made my head spin, to be honest. However - and this is important - I don't think it hampers the watch t...

Early Access: She Would Never Know E1

E1. I'd originally planned on giving this one a pass, because of several reasons.

First, I'm not a huge fan of either of the leads. Won Jin Ah's pretty alright in my books - I liked her well ...

Early Access: Mr. Queen E1

E1. My main concern going into this one, is how k-humor often doesn't jive with me. Given this story's premise, Show going heavy on the humor is a given. The question was, would I find it funny? View Post
