*Update as of 6/6/2021: I wrote this post when Penthouse had just begun airing. Some viewers were comparing it (in a negative light) to SKY Castle, so I thought I'd go ahead and write objectively about the similarities and the differences between the dramas. This post is not an in-depth analysis of the two dramas,... Continue Reading →
While this post is not a Penthouse vs. SKY Castle discussion, a short address of the topic seems inevitable. (Check out my most recent post where I compare the two dramas right here!) So, I'll do my best to be concise and we can get on with the review. Yes, the two dramas share quite... Continue Reading →
Teachers have an enormous responsibility because few other adults have such massive potential to impact students' lives. It doesn't matter where you're from, how many years you've been in school, or what kind of school you attend(ed): everyone remembers the people who taught them. The impact a teacher may have on his or her students... Continue Reading →
There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just cut to the chase: I haven't been watching K-dramas (or any Asian dramas) lately. Why the hiatus? I started watching Outer Banks on Netflix. Then I finished it...and watched it again. And again. (I think that show broke me.) Now, I know my blog is... Continue Reading →
I finished Extracurricular about two weeks ago and still find my mind wandering back to it sometimes. So I compiled a list of ten moments in the last two episodes that especially stuck out to me. These scenes are either simply awesome to watch in general, or they seriously left me thinking afterwards. Or both.... Continue Reading →
Whatever you're expecting out of Extracurricular, chuck it. This drama will obliterate your expectations as effortlessly as it sucks you into its story. It's deviant, dark, and incredibly addicting. And after getting about halfway through, I realized I have many thoughts on this baby that I need to sort out. So, another session of writing... Continue Reading →
One great thing about finding yourself in between drama reviews is that you'll probably end up sifting through old drafts, which is where I found this little number. After some tweaking here and there, I present you with a list of some personal K-drama-watching experiences that hopefully a few of you can relate to. And... Continue Reading →
Nobody Knows is the best drama I've seen in a long time -- and its final episode does not disappoint. It maintains pace and character consistency while wrapping things up satisfactorily -- all of which can be a challenge to nail down in any finale. Keep reading to find out which moments stand out above... Continue Reading →
The first four episodes of Nobody Knows are out, and I'm already having to talk myself down from ravenously binging each episode the second it airs and is subtitled. This is much easier said than done -- and it's not going well, by the way. In fact, I was so excited to begin the drama... Continue Reading →
Mr. Temporary (also known as Class of Lies) just aired its final episode and, honestly, I have a ton of thoughts that I want/need to sort out. So, this blog post serves a dual purpose -- my brain needs to process the ending of this drama, and hopefully my sweet readers will be at least... Continue Reading →
