Yumi’s Cells Season 3: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
I didn’t finish Season 1, and I skipped Season 2 because I had little patience for the emotional rollercoaster of her love life. I tuned in, however, for the premiere of this final season as she’s supposedly meeting her last love and true love, Shin Soon-rok (SSR). I was hoping that she’d learn from her […]

What Are We Watching in March 2026?
Now that “To My Beloved Thief” has happily ended last weekend, I can’t wait for the next drama to give my single-minded focus. I’m raring to go. Unfortunately, however, there isn’t many to choose from. Yu Yoon Seok has “Phantom Lawyer” with Esom but as you know, I don’t watch legal dramas. I may have […]
To My Beloved Thief: On Rectifying “Red Sleeve”
“Red Sleeve” (2021) is one of those kdramas, like “Twenty-Five, Twenty-One” that has the (dis)honor of getting the epithet “k-trauma.” According to google ai, there are the four reasons for the audience’s discontent. I’ll go over them briefly, then show how “To My Beloved Thief” (TMBF) resolves those issues. First, a brief note on the […]
To My Beloved Thief: On Sartorial Elegance
No doubt I’m not the only one who noticed the lovely hanboks of the Grand Prince. But instead of merely gushing over them, I’ll do a deep dive into the extra layers they add to the story. I’ll do the first four episodes because that’s all the time I have now. Episode 1 Seeing his […]
