The screenwriter, Kim Yi Rang, previously wrote “Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency” which wouldn’t have been so bad if the […]

Ash Wednesday

How did your Ash Wednesday go, @agdr03 and @GB? Mine’s just about to start. In many ways, I prefer the Lenten season to Advent. They’re both a time of preparation. Lent prepares us for Easter while Advent prepares us for the birth of Jesus. But the Advent season has become so commercialized because of the […]

Merry Christmas!

Have a blessed Christmas, everyone! The Birth of Jesus. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled.

Unexpected Business in California: Open Thread

Ignore me. This is my bookmark. I must remind myself that my favorite PD Yu HoJin filmed this variety show in Monterey, California. His usual stars, Jo InSung and Cha TaeHyun, were with him to manage a small Korean store. It’s on kshow123.tv. I wish Viki would carry it, though. Here’s PD Yu being interviewed […]
