January 29, 2021

Grab a gun, a dog, and a bunch of soldiers, and then go hunting monsters in the DMZ, because this week on the podcast Lee Evie is discussing the 2020 OCN thriller Kdrama SEARCH, which she thought was half creepy, fun and great, and half slightly underdeveloped (boo hoo!).

KOREAN DRAMA REVIEW: Two Weeks.

November 15, 2020

Really this whole story boils down to one man’s redemption, all caused by the catalyst of his daughter being his second chance at having a life. It was so much deeper than just a simple man-on-the-run-wrongfully-accused drama. It was so much better than that too, with the first few, admittedly exciting, but also soulless action episodes evolving into an emotional story of love and hope and choices. I LOVED these characters by the end. What an emotional ride! … More KOREAN DRAMA REVIEW: Two Weeks.

This Korean drama was released in 2015 and stars the always wonderful Kim Seul-gi, the very handsome Yoon Doo-joon, and also side roles by Jin Ki-joo and Ahn Hyo-seop.
