A Muse Away… or Life Lessons From Shut Up Flower Boy Band
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
What the What What?- Or Life Lessons from Secret Investigation Record (aka Joseon X Files)
If you see a pregnant man, there is something definitely wrong. That’s right- such tidbits of knowledge are everywhere in the drama gem Secret Investigation Record (aka Joseon X-Files).

My Favorite Hours…or Life Lessons from Goong
I think I figured it out. At least I am certain I pinpointed my critical reception of Goong. My critical opinion, however, has little to do with the life lessons I learned. What?! Well, I can see the sarcastic in the great- and critically I think Goong delivered the great (at least as far as … Continue reading
Being a Secretary is Hard and Heels Suck to run in… or Life Lessons from Protect the Boss
I seem to be learning a lot lately, thanks to the influx of K-drama in my life (imagine if I listened to Kpop! The lessons, ohh the lessons!).

My Sweet Seol…or Life Lessons from My Princess
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
