Premiere Watch: Our Blooming Youth
I know that keeping expectations low is the key to trauma-free kdrama watching… But! I! Just! Can’t! Wait! It’s been 3 years, you know. And even more if I count the time I waited for PHS to lead a (better) sageuk after disaster that was Hwarang. Honestly, at this point I don’t even care about […]
