Reviews of all Asian TV shows, both live action and animated. These include Korean Dramas, and anime reviews.
If you’ve been following this blog for a while now, you would know that the Mnet survival show Road to Kingdom took over several months of my life last year. I got really invested in the show as almost all of the groups on the show were groups that I was a fan of. I also won’t deny that I did get quite stressed as … Continue reading Kingdom Recap- Episode 1 (Spoilers!)
I think the last time I did a drama review on this blog was last May 2020, so it has been around nine months since I’ve last written a drama review to the point that I’m almost scared that I’ve forgotten how to do it, but nevertheless, here goes. This was actually on my radar as I did enjoy the American movie that it was … Continue reading Kdrama Review: 18 Again (Spoilers!)
I can’t believe that we have finally reached the end of the road in Road to Kingdom (yes, pun intended). While I am still not happy with Mnet and their editing to create more drama, all I can say to the seven groups that were on this show is that they all did well, and I hope that they get more recognized by the public … Continue reading Road to Kingdom: Episode 8-The Final Round (Spoilers!)
I can’t believe that this Thursday’s episode, is the final episode of this series. I am very happy though that they opened up the voting to international fans as well, and that Mnet will be live streaming the finale on their YouTube channel. However, before we get into that, let’s take a look at what happened last Thursday on the sixth episode, which mostly covered … Continue reading Road to Kingdom: Episode 7-Round 3 Part 2 & Elimination (Spoilers!)
To be honest, I was bracing myself for the elimination in Episode 4. But instead of doing it there, they moved it to Episode 5. I’m pretty sure it was more for dramatic effect, but I would have preferred to see the elimination happen in Episode 4, if time permitted. In any case, most of Episode 5 dealt with the elimination, showing the new rankings, … Continue reading Road to Kingdom: Episode 5-6: Elimination & Round 3 Pt. 1 (Spoilers!)
For this episode, I had been preparing for an elimination as I knew that there would be an elimination after Round 2. To be honest, I would much prefer if the entire show didn’t have elimination at all so that the groups could really concentrate on the performances without worrying too much about rankings, like in “Queendom”. Sure, the groups who ranked low did not … Continue reading Road to Kingdom: Episode 4- Round 2
Ever since it was announced, I have been looking forward to watching Mnet’s “Road to Kingdom”. The show is the prequel to the show “Kingdom”, which is the sequel and the male version of “Queendom”, which aired last year. “Queendom” was a competitive reality show in which six girl groups battled against each other. For “Road to Kingdom”, what they did was they got seven … Continue reading Road to Kingdom: Eps. 1-3 (90 Sec. Challenge & Round 1)
Ever since I first watched Park Seo Joon in “Fight for My Way”, I knew that this was one actor that would always be on my watch list. So, it wasn’t surprising that I had my eye on “Itaewon Class” when it was announced, and I got more and more intrigued in it after Kim Dong Hee (whom I saw in “Sky Castle”), and Ahn … Continue reading TV Review: Itaewon Class (Spoilers!)
I’ve been meaning to get into saeguk’s or historical dramas for quite some time now, but I also felt that I needed to ease myself into it. This journey began with me watching “Chicago Typewriter”, followed by “Mr. Sunshine”, and now, after “The Tale of Nokdu”, I think I’m quite ready to delve more into the genre as a whole (“My Country” is the next saeguk on my … Continue reading TV Review: The Tale of Nokdu (Spoilers!)
The first season of JTBC’s political drama “Chief of Staff” was one of the few dramas that grabbed audience’s attentions last year, and many couldn’t wait for the second season to drop in November 2019, after the first season’s initial run from June to July 2019. Boasting a lot of familiar faces and some new ones, the second season was just as tightly paced as … Continue reading TV Review: Chief of Staff S2 (Spoilers!)
