The cleverness of Goodbye Earth is exposed by its ending, which refuses to cop out in the way a great many stories would. The premise...

Imagine an asteroid is hurtling towards Earth. You have 200 days to live, at best. What do you do? This is the question Netflix’s Korean...

Once Upon a Small Town comes across as your typical K-Drama romance, and to be honest, that’s the best way of describing it. Spanning 12...

So, here’s the thing – I don’t think Queen of Tears is going to have a sad ending. I can’t say how yet, but I’m...

You always get a sense when a show is narratively nearing its end, and that comes through very strongly in Queen of Tears Episode 13....

Episode 12 of Queen of Tears is the first installment to really justify the runtime. I know, I know – I keep going on about...

I know I keep going on about it, but these episodes are just too long. I’m preaching to the choir since Queen of Tears is...

Blimey, this is much too long, isn’t it? Queen of Tears is a good show, but it runs the risk of becoming a tedious one...

Now seems as good a time as any to mention that every episode of Queen of Tears is feature-length, which is quite clearly ludicrous. But...

What are we supposed to feel about Hyun-woo? I get that this is the hook of Queen of Tears, and it’s interesting to have a...

It’d usually be easy enough to speculate about what a show’s second season may look like, but that’s not the case for Chicken Nugget. The wildly...

Like Episode 3 before it, Episode 4 is a real step up for Queen of Tears in how it digs into the fundamentals of Hyeon-woo...

The thing about healing is that it’s an ongoing process, which is why the ending of Doctor Slump isn’t really an ending. Episode 16 would...

Episode 3 of Queen of Tears doesn’t bring us any closer to fully understanding Hyeon-woo and Hae-in. Are they falling back in love? Or is...
