REVIEW: Her Private Life

In the universe of K-drama shows where Park Min-young falls in love with her boss, I recommend this show over What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim any day of the week. Give it a watch if you’re a fan of great chemistry, but beware of third act plot nonsense!

REVIEW: So I Married an Anti-Fan

“YAMA” engagement rings and toxic second male leads aside, this show is a stunner in my book. ~~I’M YOUR POP STAR~~
