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...

Parasyte: The Grey was generally considered a completely new interpretation of the iconic original manga by Hitoshi Iwaake, set in South Korea and following a new...

While it was widely understood that Parasyte: The Grey was a reinterpretation of the iconic manga by Hitoshi Iwaake, the last-minute cameo of Shinichi Izumi revealed unforeseen...

“Filler” is a weird word to use for a TV episode, since it’s always taken as a criticism (because it’s almost exclusively intended as one.)...

I lightly complain about the lengths of these episodes, but nobody cares – which is fine, obviously. But Queen of Tears Episode 9 makes me feel...

The usual quibbles notwithstanding – the length! – Episode 8 of Queen of Tears was good. Like, really good. The emotions were high, the characters...

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...

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...

Doctor Slump is almost at an end, and after Episode 15, Ha-neul and Jeong-woo are getting married. Probably, anyway. The proposal is a bit ludicrous,...

I can guarantee you haven’t seen a show like Chicken Nugget before, and I can say with similar confidence that you will not be able...

Nobody could have predicted the ending of Chicken Nugget. Unless they read the webtoon, I suppose, but I haven’t, so it was new to me....

I do not recall ever hating a show as much as I hated the first few episodes of Chicken Nugget, only to then discover it’s...

Doctor Slump is unlikely to be renewed for Season 2 by JTBC, for multiple reasons, none of them related to the romantic-comedy’s quality. Despite being extremely...

Even in K-Drama land, love isn’t always perfect. Relationships are hard. Marriage is harder. It isn’t all domestic bliss and happy endings, and the Netflix...

The more I watch it, the more I feel like Doctor Slump is a very good show. Season 1 has deftly moved between the drama...
