We’re not allowed to put spoilers in this part of the post, so I’m just going to go ahead and tell you guys that this week was a week of drama where drama happened. Hye-joon had drama. Jung-ha had drama. Hae-hyo had drama. Some of them had drama together. Some of the drama was all... Continue Reading →
18 Again is JTBC’s currently airing Monday-Tuesday drama based on the 2009 American film, 17 Again, starring Zac Efron. I’M TELLING YOU GUYS: this show is the most wholesome, heartwarming, heartachey show on TV right now, and if you aren’t watching it already, you should. It’s funny and painful in all the right places, and... Continue Reading →
Now we’ve crested the midpoint of the show, we launch right into a whole different game of... "celebrity is as celebrity does"? Hye-joon's star is rising, and with great fame comes great envy all around, and more complicated feelings from the people closest to him who love him most. My feeling is that we'll soon...

I really loved these episodes. Really really. I fully acknowledge that this drama is very focused on its visual presentation and stylising itself into these perfectly composed moments, but still the emotions of it are layered, and even if it’s not quite as messy, it’s no less complicated. Are its moments as organic as a... Continue Reading →
It’s not finale week, but why does it already feel like it is? WE HAVE ONE MORE WEEK. A week we badly, desperately need after everything this week has dealt us—the biggest of which has been answers, so many answers. And of course therefore, even bigger questions. This show has never felt like it was... Continue Reading →
We’re well into the show’s groove and this week it was all about couples—not so much the romantic ones (though of course there is that...one), but all the other complicated ways in which two people can be connected to each other. Down below, we look at what those connections do to them, and what they... Continue Reading →
The second week of Record of Youth continues to add layers to its already layered relationships. I’m surprised by just how much ground the show covers in two hours—meaning that a whole lot of change has happened since opening week (also whoops, we're behind, but we still haven't decided whether to run full cover on...

We're launching a quarterly newsletter! We wanted to have a more personal way to reach you all, and we thought a great way might be to visit your inboxes every few months with some reflections on dramas, the industry, and fandom.

Anisa: We binge-watched the Netflix reality series Indian Matchmaking! Along with what seems like the rest of the world, and especially South Asians. We also caught the follow-up interviews with some of the cast that were released six days ago. Let’s just say...we have a lot of feelings. Saya: I can’t believe I watched the... Continue Reading →
I haven’t caught much K-drama lately, but the nostalgia bug bit me and I found myself nomming through a handful of late 90s/early 2000s romcoms. I mentioned it to my friends, and was surprised to see how deep the love ran, so Paroma and I sat down to gab a little about some good ones.... Continue Reading →
