It’s finally happened again! I found a K-Drama that I love enough to want to enthusiastically recommend it to all and sundry despite its (very few, very small) flaws. It combines two of my favourite things: monsters and great music–and is therefore more greatly beloved. I’ve tried to figure out exactly why it is that […]

I’ve been trying to write a review of this drama for a while now, and just keep putting it off. Reason being, it’s so extremely hard to review. Like the K2, it started out with a bang and devolved into a hot mess, but unlike the K2, it managed to keep some form of structural

I’ve been watching a fair bit of Kdrama (as usual), but I’ve not been posting a lot of reviews because although I’ve been watching a lot, I haven’t been finishing a lot.

Every now and then you come across something that is an instant classic with you personally. You know what I mean: it’s nearly perfect, though not quite perfect, and even its imperfections are familiar and loved friends by the time you’ve finished watching/reading it. That’s how I felt about The Suspicious Housekeeper by the time I finished the first

Welcome to THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS, the KDrama edition! FLOWER BOYS NEXT DOOR I’ll say right now that FLOWER BOYS NEXT DOOR contains pretty much everything I love about KDrama, and most things I love about the best T.V. shows–and, in fact, story-telling as a whole–within its bright little bubble. The description of

I started learning Korean last month. Being the cheap sort of person I am, I looked around at all the options and said something along the lines of “Flamin’ heck, I can’t afford that!” Fortunately for me, I stumbled upon a website that was offering Korean lessons for free.

Okay, it’s not the end of the month, but it’s close. And if you’ve been paying attention up until now, you’ll know that I’m in the last few days of a whole month off work. I planned to use this month in writing furiously, doing taxes (both personal and business), and clearing up myriad small
