Thoughts of the Week

It's been a while! (As usual, unfortunately.) Aside from life getting in the way, I also had a lovely spring break sprinkled in the middle. But don't you worry, because I spent all that time completing 10 –  yes, ten – dramas, in addition to starting seven more.

The dramas range from some old favorites like School 2017 and My Sassy Girl, to currently airing drams River Where the Moon Rises and Mouse. Read on for my spoiler thoughts on all 17 kdramas!

Thoughts of the Week

With some shows finishing up their run, it's back to some old dramas to fill in the gap. Of course, I'm still watching Mr. Queen, but not sure which drama to pick up next. . .

But I'm hoping that the upcoming dramas with Song Joong-Ki and Lee Seung-Gi will be available in my region, tbh. C'mon, licensing rights!

Thoughts of the Week

With one drama coming to its end next week, I picked up another short drama to distract me while I wait for the episodes to air. Plus, my final thoughts after watching 30 episodes of another.

True Beauty Episode 14

In no particular order...

Thoughts of the Week

I considered writing some mid-series reviews this past weekend/this week, but I had a pretty terrible weekend and all the coherent thoughts I had are all jumbled. Such is life!

So here are my thoughts of the week instead:

May your year be bright, may your bias always appear on screen, and may your favorite kdrama genre be plentiful!

First Thoughts: Mr Queen Review

Mr. Queen (aka 철인왕후 aka Queen Cheorin aka No Touch Princess) is the newest fusion sageuk comedy, and I have to agree that it's full of laughs.

Sageuks can be difficult for the non-Korean speaker (and sometimes native Korean speakers, depending on the era portrayed), as they speak high-honorific Korean with emphasis on Chinese Hanja at times. But I find this particular fusion to be very accessible, mainly because of the modern-historic plot.
