Your Honor is one of those dramas that sucks you in for no real reason. The acting is so over the top I can’t believe the director decided that this was what he wanted from a performance.

Come join me as I discuss the hits and misses of this drama and try to figure out why I am so addicted. Continue reading
One month ago around this time, I was sitting down complaining about how there were no interesting dramas on anymore. I think I was watching around 2 shows with a few “meh” fillers.

It is rare that we comment about South Korea’s scary neighbor to the north. Let alone, wonder how they became the way they are? And that is not going to change anytime soon.

Am I the only one who has noticed the changes over the last several months in the Asian drama industry? I am sure I’m not since I have seen variations of this topic discussed on every Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook group I belong to. Sometimes, I myself, am the one to bring up the topic (like now) because I am frustrated and just need to find a way to vent.

So come join me as I chat Asian dramas, subbing woes, and whatever else comes to mind. Continue reading
