As the K-drama world is slowly normalizing the presence of strong female-centric dramas, we thought of compiling the best scenes from an underrated series that gave us three powerful women to look up to in the corporate world. Alpha females come in all forms (and genres) so I think this version of "The Best of"…
Gone are the days when Power Dressing is considered as just a fashion trend in which women wear suits to emulate men in the workforce. These days, Power Dressing means empowering oneself by wearing clothes that make us feel the most confident. Before Women’s Month ends, I collected some of the recent K-drama characters who…

We reach the end of the long and winding maze that is Chicago Typewriter. I really enjoyed reviewing this series, although it's just sad that it got low ratings in Korea. I just hope more people get to watch it and appreciate the superb writing and admirable execution of the script. Yoo Ah-in, Go Kyung-pyo,…

It pains me so much that after all the hype built to support this drama, Chicago Typewriter remains to be underrated, and still far from reaching even just the hairline of Goblin. This drama has a lot of potential with a solid story to tell, but I guess the competition in the South Korean television market is so challenging,…

It's the moment we have all been waiting for. Just as we all thought we are ready for the big reveal, it's still painful to learn the truth this way. Though the show gave us hints of Shin Yul's (Go Kyung-pyo) death, we remained in denial that maybe, just maybe, he died because of natural…

I swear this series sure knows how to tug at heartstrings! I was almost disappointed with Jeon Seol's (Im Soo-jung) seemingly obvious plan of leaving our hero writer Han Se-joo (Yoo Ah-in) behind after seeing his face as the person she "killed" in the past. We are not even sure of it yet, and I…
