Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu

I've been itching for Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu, or We Got Married as a Job, to end so I could hurry up and review it. I tuned in for the fourth episode or so, and I've been following since. It's nice to have so many things to say that I can't wait to put them into sentences.

School 2013 VS Who Are You: School 2015

Now that a School 2017 is in the works at KBS, I figured I'd write a comparison post for the dramas which inspired it.
  In the early 2000s, KBS released four segments of the School series, which is now known for launching some of the most popular Korean actors and actresses of the decade. Well, in 2013 it was revived with School 2013, and it's the drama we have to thank for all the Lee Jong-suk and Kim Woo-bin we see on our screens nowadays. Then Who Are You: School 2015 came about, sporting a plot about as different from School 2013 as possible. But which was better?

NOTE: The spoilers I've mentioned are crucial in understanding why these shows are or are not good.

Some Timewasting Web Drama to Digest

Web-dramas are always one of two things - fluffy timewasters, or sweet/interesting ideas without enough plot to fill sixteen episodes. In fact, many of the web-drama I've watched has been little shows made to promote upcoming pop groups, like 5urprise or EXO (more on that later), but after getting Netflix - who prefer posting cheaper web-drama rather than hit shows - I've discovered a side of web-drama I hadn't seen before. Don't get me wrong, though, that alternate side isn't what  I''m talking about today.
  Anyhow, if you don't have the time to make a commitment to a longer show, you can watch some of these bite-size dramas during your coffee breaks. That way, even if you're disappointed with how they turn out, it won't hit quite as hard.

NOTE: Don't confuse web-drama with mini-dramas or drama specials, which I intend to do a separate post for. In addition, this post is just for the web-drama used to introduce or publicize K-pop groups. Expect more web-drama lists in the future.

Princess Jellyfish (Movie Review)

Merry Christmas! I realise I haven't posted in a while (December is manic - I've had about ten post ideas which I haven't had the time to finish - expect a flurry of posts soon) so hopefully I can make everyone a little happier today with a movie recommendation. Today I want to talk about Princess Jellyfish, a film I watched last night and absolutely loved. I've come to the conclusion that anything starring Suda Masaki is worth watching. Onto the review!

NOTE: I have no intention of glossing any important details, so there will be spoilers.

Refresh Man: First Impressions (1-5)

I mainly dabble with Korean and Japanese drama, mainly because I think the languages and cultures of these countries are beautiful. I have been attempting broaden my horizons and try a Taiwanese drama for a long time but many didn't capture my interest. Then I found Refresh Man. I've actually been meaning to try this drama for most of the year but haven't been getting around to it, and then it was added to Netflix a few weeks ago and that was that.

The King 2 Hearts

The King 2 Hearts was a weird drama. I wasn't immediately drawn in, but once I was there was no escape, even though there were lots of aspects of the story I didn't necessarily like. It left a bad impression on me once it had ended, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't praise the things it did well.

NOTE: Major spoilers. One of the things I hate the most about The King 2 Hearts happened in the second-to-last episode, after all. Don't read the last two paragraphs if you care.
