First Impressions: The Magical Universe Of “Ice Fantasy”
I’ve always had doubts about book-to-screen adaptations because I find it difficult to replicate the magic you get from reading a novel. There’s just something about the written format that doesn’t always translate to the big screen. I can’t help but wonder how fans of the books will react: Will the live-action version live up to their… Continue reading First Impressions: The Magical Universe Of “Ice Fantasy”

We’re off and running with another highly anticipated spring drama, “Goodbye Mr. Black”! Before I launch into my thoughts for the first two episodes, I should mention that I came into this drama with a fairly clean slate. I caught up with the teasers and pre-release information before watching, but I’m completely unfamiliar with the… Continue reading First Impressions: “Goodbye Mr. Black”
