[What Mary Thinks] Korea No. 1

Happy New Years everyone! I’m starting off the new year with a review on a variety show that’s been out since the end of November. I had already completed the show a while back, but I wanted to get this review out now than later (or never). Anytime I get the chance to watch my…

K-Movie Review: Miracle: Letters to the President (2021)

I’ve been on a Korean movie marathon the past few days and this time, I decided to give ‘Miracle: Letters to the President’ a watch. I’ve seen many movies and dramas over the years and have encountered a few that have left a profound and rare impact on me; I’m glad to say that I…

I’m getting this out a little later than I expected or wanted and I wrote this pretty last minute, but it’s finally here!: my list of my favorite and least favorite (AKA most disappointing) Korean dramas/movies of 2022. 2022 was such an interesting year for K-dramaland and the entertainment industry in general and there were…

[What Mary Thinks] The Interest of Love: Episodes 1-2

Patience. This drama is going to require me to have so much patience and I’m going to need so much more of it if I want to complete this show. ‘The Interest of Love’ was a drama that I was excited for upon hearing about it. Unlike many other dramas, I actually ended up watching…

[Discuss Away!] The Forbidden Marriage: Episodes 3-4

I don’t think there was ever any doubt that I wasn’t going to come back and watch the two latest episodes to this drama. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how ‘The Forbidden Marriage’ started and I wanted to keep tuning in to see how the drama progressed in its second week. Safe to…

K-Movie Review: Inseparable Bros (2019)

I might as well just make this a new series or a weekly thing at this point because I’ve been putting in time and work into watching at least a Korean movie every few days. It all started with thriller ‘Midnight’, then family movie ‘More than Family’, and now comedy-drama film ‘Inseparable Bros.’ Safe to…

This post won’t be uploaded until a few days after the drama has finished, but I’m writing this post fresh off of having just finished the finale to ‘Revenge of Others’ as there are a few things that I needed to get off my chest. I don’t know how else to say this in a…

[What Mary Thinks] The Forbidden Marriage: Episodes 1-2

I kind of like this one, I kind of like this one! I enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would and I’m definitely going to keep tuning in. A king who can’t forget about his late Crown Princess who died a mysterious death? A court maid who pretends to channel the…

K-Movie Review: More than Family (2020)

First ‘Midnight’ and then ‘More than Family’. I’ve been dedicating some time to watching more Korean movies (compared to just dramas) and ‘More than Family’ was one of the movies on that list for me. Starring Krystal Jung (Crazy Love and also a member of girl group f(x)), the movie follows Kim To-il (Krystal Jung),…

[Discuss Away!] Revenge of Others: Episodes 9-10

It’s hard to believe that we’re already approaching the finale to this drama. Just a few weeks ago, I went into this drama blind and had absolutely no idea what to expect or even who our male lead actor, Lomon, was. Fast forward to the present and I’m glad that I gave ‘Revenge of Others’…
