We enjoyed the first weeks of Tale of the Nine Tailed so much that we did a quick first impressions on instagram live (@dramasoverflowers_) last Sunday. Paroma (@festerfaster) was the host, and our guest was Rimi (@_payodhi on Twitter). The audio isn't the greatest, but we thought you may enjoy our glee at this fluffy and... Continue Reading →
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.

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.
