Drama Addict Diary is back and it's very silly and trivial and full of pictures, even though I did not manage to stick in that one Lee Jun-ki one that I can't seem to let go of. This is a highly untidy version of what's been going on for me lately in drama-watching-land, and it's... Continue Reading →
Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol: Episodes 7-12 Review
We're still loving this drama, so Paroma and I sat down to enumerate the many ways we keep falling for Joon, Ra-ra, and the gang. Do Do might seem lightweight at first glance, but it's actually surprisingly thoughtful, and does a great job of balancing its darker elements with the characters' inherent optimism, and the...

18 Again: Episodes 15-16 Review
Why do good dramas have to come to an end? That’s my biggest complaint about 18 Again right now. But it’s also true that when you drag out your goodbyes, they lose their potency, and although the drama really worked hard to stretch itself over sixteen episodes, the finale was nothing short of perfection. Saner,... Continue Reading →
18 Again: Episodes 13-14 Review
Saner and I are without our Saya today, because she’s off doing important and busy things, but we have plenty to say about the penultimate week of 18 Again between the two of us. We’ve got revelations, long-awaited conversations, and confessions galore. Much of it was lovely, but there were aspects that drove us to... Continue Reading →
18 Again: Episodes 11-12 Review
These two episodes blow in with a slightly different tang to previous weeks, and while the plot somewhat slows down, there are a lot of great moments for secondary characters to shine and grow...or sing and make sweet yet horribly embarrassing idiots of themselves—take your pick! While I watched like a shallow fangirl, Saner and... Continue Reading →
Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol: Episodes 5-6 Review
We're back with a bit more to say on Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol, surprisingly! After its opening weeks, I was convinced the drama would have a satisfying but predictable trajectory that I could sit back and enjoy, but then it hit us with that Episode 5 reveal. Yes, that one, which you've... Continue Reading →
Record of Youth: Episodes 13-14 Review
After the last two episodes, our Saya decided to take a break from Record of Youth to preserve her sanity. She can be currently found in greener and more nourishing pastures over at the reviews of 18 Again. But I clearly have less sense, so here we are. Volunteering to brave the last two weeks... Continue Reading →
18 Again: Episodes 9-10 Review
It's another week of tragicomedy and feeling in 18 Again. Anisa has finally caught up—just in time to join me and Saner in our collective flailing! The show brings a lot of big drama this week, but jumps in and out so fast that you barely get wet. Instead, a few running plot points converge... Continue Reading →
Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol: Episodes 1-4 Review
We’ll be doing these First Impressions reviews occasionally on the blog—not full weekly coverage, but just a review of Episodes 1-4 to get a sense of a drama’s story, tone, and direction. If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know that I will watch anything Lee Jae-wook does, so it’s probably no surprise... Continue Reading →
Drama Addict Diary: More Than Friends, Episodes 1-4 Overview
Editor's note: Saya here! Popping in to say: please welcome our first solo guest-post! We've been planning to open up our blog to showcase different fandom voices, and while that's lurking in the pipeline of all the work we are trying to get through, I thought it would be nice to jump the queue and...
