I'm excited right now. Really excited. Having only seen less than half of the show, I probably shouldn't be making any judgments about Grand Prince just yet... But I can't help it! It's been a really long time since I was this excited about a sageuk. The interesting part is that it isn't even phenomenal. It might even be pretty run-of-the-mill. But I love it, and I don't care. I'm going to run though why Grand Prince is totally worth your time, but also what it lacks.

Oh Hwayugi, How Did You Go Wrong?
The Hong Sisters made a name for themselves with fresh, addictive romantic-comedies like Delightful Girl Chun-hyang, and explored their strengths over the next decade. Sometimes they were successful, like with adorable fantasy My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, or with delightfully eccentric Master's Sun. But their most recent blunders, Big and Warm and Cozy, have turned so many fans away from them. After an almost three year hiatus, they brought Hwayugi to the table.
NOTE: Expect spoilers. And, again, Blogger is playing up with the spacing.

Pasta: First Impression

It's early days, but Pasta might just suit my tastes perfectly.

Romantic-comedies which are frank about sex and modern relationships are more likely to be found in America, for example Sex and the City. Depending on what kind of person you are, the fantasy aspects of the perfect romances you normally see in drama could be right up your street, but here's something for the realists (and my fellow noona romance fans).
