I wanted to watch Navillera since the first time I read its synopsis. I’m happy to report that it’s as heartwarming as I expected. The story is fresh as mint with a 70 year old man (Park In Hwan as Shim Duk Chul) trying to fulfill his lifelong dream of learning and performing ballet. He gets help from a young expert ballet dancer (Song Kang as Lee Chae Rok) who is going through a slump. Continue reading

Ultimately, I did click next and wow, the show kept getting better, with episode 4 delivering on so many fronts. It was indeed a good decision to continue! Continue reading

A lot of expectations were set on new JTBC drama Sisyphus: The Myth — it stars the amazing Jo Seung Woo (Stranger, The Classic), it also stars one of the most popular Korean actresses, Park Shin Hye, the concept looks interesting with merging science and fantasy and it airs on current It channel JTBC. Like everyone else, I went into it with hopes of a great ride and after the first two episodes, I can say that I had a good time. It’s not without flaws but the show is intriguing and surely makes me want to know more. Continue reading
