This is long overdue, I know. Everything kind of gets away from me in the summer. I guess it doesn’t help that I started a new hobby which takes a lot of time. But, at the same time, I’m on the computer more than I’m not, so I think it’s a good thing to finally have a hobby that takes

It’s time for a flashback recap! Normally I do only currently airing series. I make exceptions like when I recapped My Prince. This is one of them. This is a 60 episode drama that aired on KBS2 back in 2005-06. The literal title is probably more like Sadness Goodbye or Sad Goodbye [슬픔이여안녕; seulpeumiya annyeong], but it’s also known as

Um…so…I guess this is the final episode. Previews at the end of this episode show the continuation of the story, but then they show a date of January 2015! Say what? We seriously have to wait that long? I don’t want to. Sigh.

This time we start the week with a little Taiwanese pop. The artist is Ann and the song is “Consolation” which is a very pretty song with a really weird video. Check it out. And coming tonight? Episode 10 of ST which I hope isn’t the finale because if it is, it’s a totally sucky cliffhanger, but I did see

An age old adage that isn’t entirely true. As a writer, you really do try to paint something that can be expressed just as well in words as in visuals, but like I said earlier, media in blog posts can be your friend. Why?

What a loooong title for this movie. You know, I don’t know about other countries when they follow up a drama with a movie, but it seems in Japan that the movies really just feel like extended specials. They might have fancier sets and CGI at times, but most of them don’t give off a “movie” vibe. When I was

Here’s hoping the movie will be good. The previews were intense and worrisome. Horikita Maki comes on as
