The last spring kdrama I'm checking out, simply because the rest are uninteresting. With Mandate of Heaven joining my kdrama roster, I've just made my April-June sageukpalooza more sageuk-filled than it already is.

Is it just me or are there so much more amazing anime these days than kdramas and tv shows combined?

Steins; Gate. Self-proclaimed mad scientist Rintaro Okabe discovers that his oven is a time machine. Chaos ensues.

Okay this isn't exactly new, but this is the first time I've seen this. It might take me a while to finish Steins; Gate. It's the ( Read more... )

Jang Ok-jung, Live in Love - my current kdrama obsession. I love it like I haven't loved a drama since Arang although the two dramas are very different. Kim Tae-hee is a revelation here, actually emoting as opposed to just glaring in intense scenes. Yoo Ah-in is perfection as usual. The two have such an unexpectedly intense chemistry, I'm drowning ( Read more... )

Featuring Gu Family Book and Jang Ok-jung, Live in Love. I've been in a drama slump ever since Arang and the Magistrate ended. It's pretty safe to say the drama slump is over.

I still have a lot of anime on my to-watch list, but I decided to go out on a limb and try watching one as it airs. My choice of anime for my weekly live-watching experiment: RDG: Red Data Girl. Some of the people I follow on tumblr have been spamming my dashboard with gifs, and sucker for gorgeous animation that I am, I tried it out ( Read more... )

I took a break halfway through Durarara!! and checked out this short anime series that promised lots of shoujo-esque bishies in an otherwise shonen story. Inu X Boku SS is about a group of half-demon, half-human hybrids who live together in a fancy apartment. The main protagonist, Ririchiyo, has the unfortunate tendency to snark at anyone who talks ( Read more... )

Doctor Who's back (finally!) and I can finally savor more Eleven goodness before the awesomeness explosion that is him and Ten together on my screen kills me.

It’s been two years since my love for The Mortal Instruments and its spin-off hit an all-time high and began its steady decline into apathy. I still love the first three books in all their campy glory, and the second TMI trilogy is entertaining if overwrought. The less said about the downward trajectory of The Infernal Devices, the better ( Read more... )

...is about kdramas.

It's been a dry spell in dramaland. The last kdrama I finished was the enchanting Arang and the Magistrate, and that was several months ago. Nice Guy lost me halfway through, and so did That Winter the Wind Blows. Maybe shows about hommes fatales seeking redemption through their love interests just isn't for me. Or maybe I ( Read more... )

So I haven't been posting here in a while. I've moved to tumblr for the moment, and I'm having fun continuing blogging there. I love how interactive it is. Maybe someday I'll come back. lj does seem more suitable for lengthier posts (and is more customizable to boot). But for now, I'm too busy with rl to make long blog posts (long word vomits about ( Read more... )
