‘Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’…A gripping first half, but falters later on.

My main problem with the show was this — Why exactly is Hae Soo/Go Ha Jin, travelling back in time?

‘Strong Woman Do Bong Soon’... A sweet punch of much needed female power.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is maybe the sweetest response to all the male-centric shows out there. Do Bong Soon (wonderfully played by Park Bo Young), is small or peanut size as often described, but…

Bullet Point Review: Hwarang

• One of the strengths of a pre-produced drama is that there is a stronghold over the story throughout the show. There are no sudden changes in character traits and no unnecessary subplots and Hwarang plays exactly to these strengths. The show progresses smoothly from start to…

It was high time I jumped on the bandwagon and watched Game of Thrones. So in midst of exams, holiday shopping, moving houses, and all the packing, and re-packing and packing, I still found myself enough time to sit down five to six hours a day, to finish all six seasons right before the…

‘Drinking Solo’….Let’s Eat 3

Every episode of Drinking Solo opens with Jin Jung Suk drinking alone, feasting on a variety of mouth-watering food (as the camera so carefully zooms in and shows us.) In the background, his voice explains the reasons and the rules he has set for himself for drinking solo every…
