I said this before watching the first two episodes of new KBS drama Curtain Call and I felt it while watching too — it has old school drama vibes, in a good way. (The setting of the family, the hotel business, the disguised identity trope and the execution.) The drama boasts a strong cast, quality production and a story spanning decades and two countries.

Little Women — the title of the new tvN drama makes one expect a simple, warm tale of sisters, inspired by the classic eponymous novel. But the show actually has only one resemblance — three sisters growing up in poverty. Everything else is not only different plot wise, but is also imbued in a dark vibe. I found the first two episodes very intriguing, setting up the story and characters admirably. The drama is also available on Netflix. Continue reading →

I really liked Doom At Your Service. It has a very contemplative tone despite having a fantasy premise and all signs of a classic romantic comedy.
