Advertisements I am not surprised in the least to see BYT doing so well. It’s been very consistent in its approach to humor (and its subject material), and it is clear that the live-watching-on-TV SK viewing public is eating it up. It may not be for many of us, but then again, it tends to […]

Advertisements How do you mean, @mmmmm? If you meant, “What does ‘hip’ mean in the context of BYT,” my answer is, “I have no idea!” I’ve thought about it for a while, because I clearly have nothing else to do with my life, but I always end up in the same place–nothing in this show […]

Advertisements Could it be the KTL crowd? No other rom-coms on the weekend. I’m hoping some Durian watchers migrate to My Dearest.

Advertisements Don’t dating rumors circulate with pretty much every romcom if both participants are publicly single? That said, in this case the chemistry is strong, but even as someone who enjoys the show and the leads together, I’m still somewhat surprised it has resonated like this so early on. The numbers are really impressive! And […]

Advertisements Not just any old hotel dramas…hotel dramas in which younger men with distant/unknown/dead mothers are dissatisfied with the way that older, sharp-tongued, defensive women are running said hotels. These hotels also need to have some connection to the aforementioned mothers. These men’s fathers must be strident and overbearing, and must be playing some sort […]

Advertisements I thought “Mother” would do well domestically, and I’m glad to see I was right about that. To me, it was a drama that delivered on a lot of fronts. It had flaws, but kept up the dramatic tension until the end, and featured a central romance and characters who I found (for the […]
