Faith is losing my interest. I love Eun-soo, Noguk, and Gongmin, but Choi Young remains flat as a board. I love Lee Min-ho, but 13 episodes in, I still find Choi Young boring. The direction is uninspired, which sometimes makes watching this show a chore. I've only watched up to episode 13 and I need to keep up, but I find myself dragging my feet to ( Read more... )

It's no secret that J.K. Rowling is my favorite author, and her Harry Potter books are my all-time favorite novels. I've been waiting for her to write something new for five years, but my excitement was somewhat dampened when I found out she was going to do a slice-of-life novel.

Finally, the interminable wait for the seventh series of Doctor Who is over! I watched Asylum of the Daleks yesterday, but I couldn't sit down and right my thoughts because I was so amazed by it ( Read more... )

It'll be fun, they said.

FYI, Pond Life is a series of five webisodes leading up to the premiere of Series 7 of Doctor Who. It tells the story of the Ponds' somewhat failed attempts at leading a semi-normal life, obviously because of some madman with a box ( Read more... )

Faith - continues to improve as of episode 5. I love how totally not epic this show is. I love that the writers are aware that this drama's greatest strength is its (plucky, adorable, tactless, and ultimately good-hearted) heroine, and I love that we're getting more awesome Eun-soo moments. I love how unselfless she is - because more often than not ( Read more... )
