Another classic manga which was previously turned into a Japanese drama gets a Korean drama. We have the romantic comedy Nodame’s Cantabile (called Tomorrow’s Cantabile aka Nae Il’s Cantabile for the Korean remake) and we have the psychological drama Liar’s Game. Now, I’m not quite certain just how popular the Japanese drama LIAR GAME was, but I’m fairly certain it

It is on a the rare occasion where I express such an instant dislike to a drama. Having said that, I decided to be fair and give this fall drama a shot. I watched the first case and that was definitely more than enough to form an opinion against continuing to watch this drama. If you would like to give

Nothing like a movie about first love. Especially when the film hit theaters in April, a spring month very suitable for first love.

I said I wasn’t going to post about this and what did I do? I decided to post about it after all. I don’t watch many Chinese or Taiwanese dramas. I just don’t. Bad me. I figured I’d give a few first impressions of the first seven episodes of this drama (I think there’s like 35 or so total), which

Much like Japanese series Trick (which actually came after the original Keizoku), the cases delved into mysterious happenings that ultimately ended up being explained scientifically outside the realm of the supernatural. One of the best things about the series was the super

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

By this post, you may be able to figure out just what Japanese drama I plan on recapping this season. That’s right. I’ll be picking up ST Aka to Shirou no Sousa Paire. I figured that I needed to start with the special before I could jump into the series which is set to air tomorrow! And it’s happy news

This is an SNS drama with only six episodes based on a web novel of the same name by Shin Ji Eun. And I’m still trying to figure out why they’ve been billing it as Korea’s version of Twilight because it’s NOTHING like Twilight. That particular book series actually isn’t the best to begin with. The first two books weren’t
