Bitch Talk: On KDramas That Didn’t Age Well
These kdramas and Korean movies aged poorly. I’m not talking merely about their visual effects, but the plot, content, message, and/or actors involved in the project have become unacceptable over time. That’s why Shakespeare rules. Even after four centuries, the Bard’s works endure because his insight into our human existence is timeless, universal, and relevant. […]

Doctor Slump: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
Let me get this out of the way. I understand that it makes for great drama when one of the parties in a litigation takes out evidence in the middle of the trial – the so-called “smoking gun” – and the opposing side stammers, “W-what is that? That’s not mine!” Outside TV shows and movies, […]
