“Spy”: First Impressions

Here is our first spy action show for 2015! The newest espionage thriller “Spy” from KBS offers an interesting adaptation of the Israeli drama “The Gordin Cell”.

Beginning of the End: “Dad! Where Are We Going?” Episode 103

Our six families are off on their “graduation trip,” their last official “Dad! Where Are We Going?” trip of the year.

Where Are We Going?” Episode 103

Halftime Report: “Healer”

After the first two episodes of “Healer,” I was intrigued but not entirely sold. The decades-spanning plot was ambitious, and the introduction of the broad cast of characters didn’t leave enough time to establish a clear thematic center. Don’t get me wrong—I really enjoyed the first two episodes. But after watching them, I felt like… Continue reading Halftime Report: “Healer”

Highlights: “Pinocchio” Episode 17

Now that the truth has been revealed to a select few, the main question in “Pinocchio” episode 17 is just how are our heroes going to share what they know with the world. Though by “heroes,” I actually mean “hero”—and by “hero,” I really mean “In Ha.” In Ha is (awesomely) front and center this… Continue reading Highlights: “Pinocchio” Episode 17

First Impressions: “Kill Me, Heal Me”

The first episode of “Kill Me, Heal Me” begins with a short visual preface on the back story of our main man Cha Do Hyun (Ji Sung) and his family tragedy.

Highlights: “Pinocchio” Episode 16

Dal Po and In Ha are no longer trying to pretend that they don’t like each other (thank goodness!), but they haven’t quite reached their happy ending yet. There’s still corruption to be exposed–and when the root lies this close to home, it looks like it’s our heroes who will be hurt the most when… Continue reading Highlights: “Pinocchio” Episode 16

Highlights: “Pride and Prejudice” Episodes 18 and 19

After one week off, the Public Safety Team is back! Although they caught the criminal behind the murder of Han Byeol, they still have a lot of work to do—after all, the world has a seemingly unlimited supply of corruption and criminality. It’s depressing how realistic the world of “Pride and Prejudice” feels—we can only… Continue reading Highlights: “Pride and Prejudice” Episodes 18 and 19
