At the Outset of the End of the World


... And it's looking pretty pretty good.  In fact, this may be one of the best television shows that I have ever had the pleasure to watch.  

The thing is, I could say that this show is all about this crazy virus outbreak, and there's this guy with these awesome logical skills and he and these other scientists figure it out this virus and there's this Typhoid Mary running around and Team Leader Kang is falling for his coworker Lee Na-hyun and things get crazy when she gets infected... and all this crazy crap.  It sounds thrilling, but that's really not what this drama is about.

That Winter, The Wind Blows: Why The Ending Blew, Among Other Things


Why is it that a poor ending to a drama can completely break your heart and make you dislike a show. Okay, this just sounds like a bad break-up or something, but it was how I felt right after I finished this drama. That Winter, The Wind Blows started out incredibly well. It was beautiful, well-paced, the OST was gorgeous, Song Hye Gyeo had never looked so beautiful, Jo In Sung was incredibly swoonworthy, I loved Kim Tae Woo as the bad guy Moo Chul who I could never quite hate, and Kim Bum and Jung Eunji were as pleasurable as always. It was addiction worthy drama. bustered and I actually watched several episodes together, squeeing, screaming, shouting, and just generally having a good time together. I think my roommates thought we were a little batty as we oohed and aahed and talked to Soo and Young. It was the best kind of drama watching.

Curiosity Killed the Cat: First Look at Gu Family Book

You're probably thinking: whatever in the world does that title have to do with K-drama. Well, I had the best intentions to not start any new dramas, (while RL takes over for a bit) but the conversations à la Twitter and on other blogs led me think I should give Gu Family Book a look see.
