I have been in a Running Man mood for a few days now. I love the way Korean Variety Shows structure creatively torturous missions, endearing entertainers, and awesome camaraderie into entertaining and hilarious episodes. Running Man, in particular, makes me one happy girl. As I viewed the comic delight of RM, I began to think. … Continue reading

Henceforth are the life lessons I learned from the refreshingly nostalgic Answer Me 1997… 1. Do you miss your brick phone and the simplicity of times gone by? Welcome to the club. … Continue reading
Back to my snarky self. I loved Shut Up Flower Boy Band’s story, I loved its pacing. This drama turned me half serious- but alas I returned to the comedic dark side. Despite my rejection of serious critical analysis of Jedi Master SUFBB (in the name of my natural tendency towards sarcasm as a form … Continue reading

For instance- I have learned how to never work for a sleazy loan shark and how never to second guess the idiot third generation Chaebol who has … Continue reading
I liked this…I really liked this. I liked this enough to watch it in one day- no joke, even if it is a sad statement on my life during the weekend(I hear my parents in my head scolding me for watching a 16 hour drama in one sitting. Mom! I get it! Won’t happen until … Continue reading
