Although several of the February dramas will still be going strong for the month of March, there are some new players entering the lineup for March, and we get a little bit of everything: family dramas, murder-abduction mystique, and bickering rivals whose harsh words belie the fact that they (probably) wuve each other.

If someone told me in 2010 that big names of Korean underground hip-hop would collaborating with chart-topping idols by 2014, I would’ve told them to take their jokes elsewhere.

In 2014, we had breakthroughs by artists from season three of “Show Me the Money,” followed by… Continue reading 7 Must-Listen K-Pop/Hip-Hop Collaborations from 2014
Review: “Shine or Go Crazy” Episodes 9-10
