Premiere Watch: Queen of Tears
I was thinking this day won’t come anymore!!! Now, I hope I won’t be disapointing like the last year, the most anticipated ones were quite disapointing like King the Land. But Kwak Dong-Yeon said we need to watch it because there is a lot money in it! I will trust him :p Source
Premiere Watch: Pyramid Game
This isn’t my usual genre, but I have had a huge soft spot for Bona ever since Girls’ Generation 1979 that was further solidified by Twenty-Five Twenty-One, despite her limitations as an actress. This seems like a role she can excel in (although I find it amusing she is still playing a high school student). […]

It doesn’t take a PhD to figure out what’s going to happen next, […]
Premiere Watch: A Killer Paradox
I’m not sure I’ll watch this show–it seems a little too much like the U.S. show Dexter, which once the cleverness of the conceit wore off, got a little dreary. I can only root so much for a serial killer to kill serial killers while he is trying to escape a detective who, if things […]

Premiere Watch: Knight Flower
I can’t help it, Emma. His face and his acting annoys me lmao. I understand that my reaction to certain physiognomies and acting is difficult to understand and easy to make personal. But how many times must I say, it’s not got anything to do with his actual moral character, (which I wouldn’t know from […]
