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 →

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 →
As someone who typically likes the antagonistic characters in dramas, finding a villain I love to hate (and hate to love) is exhilarating because -- let's be real -- not every antagonist is created equal. Yet, from the moment Baek Sang Ho (played by the brilliant Park Hoon) first strolls on-screen in Nobody Knows --... 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 →
Not long ago, one of my friends emphatically recommended I watch Extraordinary You. I agreed to give it a shot, but mostly to pacify her; I honestly had no intention of finishing the drama simply because I was expecting yet another high school love story. I got sucker punched by a K-drama. Hours after graciously... Continue Reading →
After politician Wie Dae Han (Song Seung Heon) falls from grace in the eyes of the public, he takes in four siblings to boost his image: quick-thinking eldest Da Jung (Roh Jeong Eui), moody Tak (Jung Joon Won), mischievous Tae Poong (Kim Jun), and clever little Song Yi (Park Ye Na). (clockwise from left) Kim... Continue Reading →
