Lessons in Fatherhood from Jang Hyuk | Bad Papa

After a hiatus of four months or longer, I am back to watching dramas thanks to winter vacation. The first one I have managed to finish is Bad Papa which was airing a short time back and must I say I was in for a very exciting ride. So without further ado, here goes my [...]

Grease Love and Woks Full of Melo | Greasy Melo

From the makers of Jealousy Incarnate, this was one heck of a unique show much like its predecessor and I enjoyed every minute of its quirky characters and the delicious food. With a star-studded cast, the show managed to pull off a very over-the-top plot with great ease. Despite wanting to write a longer introduction, [...]

Fixing Some of the Unhealthy Tropes in Korean Dramas with Because This Life Is Our First

One of the best dramas to come out this season, and I watched it only, only and only for the love I bear for Lee Min Ki, despite having only seen a two-episode cameo from him in Shut Up! Flower Boy Band, as Byung Hee. The man had me in awe by just his cameo [...]

Firstly, the drama is a remake of a 2008 Taiwanese drama of the same name. [...]

The Best Hit

최고의 날들은 아직 살지 않은 날들이다 - 나짐 히크메트 The best days are those we still haven't lived through - Nazim Hikmet What a great time travel drama this was. This genre is on the rise in Korean dramas these days, with Tomorrow With You, Tunnel (which I still haven't seen), The Best Hit, and [...]

When a Drama Becomes a Case Study | Beautiful Mind

I have watched most of Kim Myung Min and Cha Seung Won's dramas, both of whom are seasoned actors, but one person I hadn't gotten around to watching was Jang Hyuk, another actor possibly in the same league. Therefore, my latest watch was: Beautiful Mind, starring Jang Hyuk and the energetic, lively Park So Dam [...]
