REVIEW: The Red Sleeve

The Red Sleeve is pretty much unassailable. Such a wild ride of complex emotions and layered meaning. It’s a masterpiece of screenwriting, cinematography, set design, and acting

REVIEW: Imitation

I highly recommend Imitation for anyone who has been looking to fill the musical K-drama void in their life. It’s only 12 episodes(!) so turn up the music.

REVIEW: Record of Youth

Let me be clear: I didn’t have a problem with the acting. These actors just weren’t given much to work with.

REVIEW: Save Me

Still recovering from this whirlwind, but I don’t think I have a single bad thing to say about it. It’s worth every minute of your time. Props to the showrunners for doing such a ballsy plot and taking it as far as they could.

REVIEW: Fighter of the Destiny [C-drama]

Its only saving grace is that it has very compelling and fleshed out supporting characters to prop up the very bland and boring leads.

REVIEW: Itaewon Class

Park Seo-joon is one of the most handsome, finest men working in Korea today, yet they gave him a horrendously bad haircut for the entirety of this show. You have been warned.

REVIEW: Love O2O [C-drama]

Had a lot of problems but not enough conflict. The subplot that I liked fizzled out in favor of making a main character look good. At least most of these folks are pretty to look at!

REVIEW: My First First Love

I thought their chemistry was lovely and easy. In fact, the whole drama was incredibly easy to sit through, which, as we all know, isn’t always the case.
