[blog] from my sassy girl to goddess
I still cry every bloody time I watch MY SASSY GIRL (and I have lost count how many times I’ve watched it) and when this girl won the TV Daesang in this year’s Paeksang Arts Awards, I cried. Sod all those members of Korean girl groups. They don’t hold a candle to Jun…
MAN FROM THE STARS: remakes and a movie version, anyone?
It may be an exaggeration to say this — and words that I may be eating back sooner or later — but right now, MAN FROM THE STARS trumps all the other dramas I have watched. I won’t dwell on the drama itself because I have previously blogged on the reasons why it’s worth a…
when you wish upon a MAN FROM THE STARS
(Spoilers ahead) One of two ardent wishes of many fans of MAN FROM THE STARS has been granted: a one-episode extension. The other wish is of course to have a happy ending for Do Min-joon and Cheon Song-yi. By next week, it shall be known. I love this drama so much that I am stumped…

I mean heartbreak according to an alien–perhaps the most adorable to ever set foot on Earth and no, he doesn’t have reptile skin nor…
MAN FROM THE STARS x MY SASSY GIRL
MAN FROM THE STARS is just getting better and better, never mind if it’s been embroiled in a plagiarism scandal. And the ending in episode 6 was something totally unexpected and yet a very nice surprise for a MY SASSY GIRL fan like me. I’ll always be in love with MY SASSY GIRL. I still…
life lessons from MAN FROM THE STARS
[Spoilers ahead] This drama has so many alternative English titles but from now on, I’m sticking to MAN FROM THE STARS because it’s shorter and more direct. And for a drama that’s fantasy at the root, part romance and part comedy, it sure has memorable dramatic scenes not only for the tears but for the…
