Recently, I’ve gotten into yet another kVariety show — but technically this isn’t your typical variety show that’s all fun and games. Although it has its moments of laughter JTBC’s Abnormal Summit is a show where a bunch of foreigners from a wide variety of backgrounds but all residing in Korea gather to debate and […]
Taking a Closer Look @ the 2016 SBS/MBC/KBS Drama Awards SBS MBC KBS HAN SUK KYU LEE JONG SUK SONG JOONGKI & SONG HYE GYO To be very frank, of all the Daesang (Grand Prize) winners from the 3 major broadcasting networks, SBS was the most fair.

Vampire Detective Final Thoughts (there are definitely spoilers) Okay. So I didn’t like the ending too much. Of course characters had to die, premises for a possible season 2 had to be set – yadda. Yadda. Yadda. But it sure wasn’t satisfying as a series – I’ve seen better.
Happy Together “Happy Together” is one of the longest running South Korean Variety shows. It is a KBS talk show that started airing back in 2001. I started watching this show mainly because (1) I really liked Yoo Jae Suk’s hosting style, (2) this is a legit talk show where you can hear so many […]

This little review/reflection is pretttyyyy late, but better late than never right? But first, let’s take some time to get into the zone and get a bit nostalgic: BROMANCE. MORE BROMANCE.

Previous post: https://datcheebie.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/dramafever-vs-viki/ UPDATE: 2017 Quite frankly, I do not use either platform anymore, but I believe I can still share my valid opinion about the two. Basically, DramaFever >> Viki. Period. I won’t turn this into a diss post about Viki with all the details, but I’ve just always had so much trouble with Viki […]
When a drama “dies” – note the quotation marks… It’s like watching a plant you’ve nurtured wither away into nothing. What’s your worst experience? I talked about my “theory” about the death phase of a drama before (see: https://datcheebie.wordpress.com/2016/01/10/kdramastoavoidand-an-intro-to-kdramas/).
