Welcome to the story of my weekend, also known as marathoning WIN: Who is Next. With another series of dramas done, I have found a bit of time to catch up with what is happening in K-Variety (or is that reality) land. My new fixation is the super addicting crack like show WIN, which airs … Continue reading
One year ago this month I took to my computer and typed out a snarky opinion of the drama I had just completed- Rooftop Prince.

The two characters independent of each other- entertaining. The two characters together- drama heaven. With personalities so opposite yet surprisingly so complimentary, Myung Ran and Na Yoon brought the comedy. Let’s celebrate the roommates every girl would be thankful for: Na Yoon and Myung Ran aka the roommates I would love to have Actors: Wang … Continue reading
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?!
