There are so many celebs in ads, in fact, that it would be impossible to cover all of them, but we… Continue reading This Month in CFs: Song Jae Rim, Lee Min Ho, IU, and More

I also need to admit this is also one of the most difficult dramas to analyze since it requires a moderate comprehension about police crime. I can… Continue reading Final Call: “Punch”

Happily Ever After K-Drama Style: A Couch Kimchi Roundtable

We hate it when our favorite shows end, but we dread it even more when the final episode disappoints. A drama’s first chapter might be awful, but there’s time for the story to improve with subsequent episodes. On the one hand, its parting hour is the drama’s last chance to leave a good impression. So, what makes an awesome finale… Continue reading Happily Ever After K-Drama Style: A Couch Kimchi Roundtable
