Review: Perfect Marriage Revenge

Show’s a good example of a drama that is solidly entertaining – provided you keep its pedigree in mind.

What I mean is, Show is a solid B-grade makjang, and sits in the moderate range of makjang-ness (in my opinion, at least). It’s makjang enough to be classified as makjang, but it’s not in the range of the more extreme makjangs out there.

Flash Review: Modern Girl [Drama Special]

I don’t know what it is, but lately, it feels like I’ve had more drama specials set in the 1920s appearing on my radar, than ever before.
