Apple's Corner
Hello and welcome to my infamous rambling. If you're looking for detailed recommendations, you've come to the right page. I run all sorts of pretty websites you can read, so have at it!
Korean Dramas
Full reviews here: http://www.still-frames.net/koreandrama/reviewsheets.html
- Autumn Tale - all the typical melodramatic drivel.
- Couple of Fantasy - great in concept, mediocre in execution.
- Dal Ja's Spring - uneven pacing, but a heartwarming love story.
- Delightful Girl Choon Hyang - the definitive "jump the shark" drama.
- Fog Street - b.o.r.i.n.g.
- Goong - overrated and shallow.
- Hello! Miss - only mildly entertaining, completely forgettable.
- My Girl - witty, charming, and wonderful, but damn that shark jumping.
- Over the Rainbow - weak storyline, bland characters.
- Sweet 18 - sincere and sweet, still my favorite drama ever.
- Witch Amusement - certainly amusing, but written badly.
