Read MoreSXSW Interview: Victim Mentality
The Korean glam-metal band, Victim Mentality, took a moment before South by Southwest 2015 (SXSW) to answer a few questions we had for them. I’ll admit that the first photo I saw of them on their Facebook page (links below) totally intrigued me as it brought me back to my youth in the 80s. Perhaps its a bit of nostalgia – their sound brings vivid memories of music videos from the 80s –...

Read MoreMarch’s K-Drama: It’s Okay, That’s Love
The drama to watch in March is easily one of the best of 2014 and tied for my personal favorite of the year. It’s witty, funny, poignant, powerful, and it has some of the most realistic and lovable characters I’ve ever come across in all my journeys through DramaLand. In short, It’s Okay, That’s Love (괜찮아, 사랑이야) is an amazing drama and one I think you’re really going to love....

Read MoreK-dramas Are Better
People are usually somewhat startled to learn that I watch Korean drama. Of course, I assume that everyone finds me a bit odd, so I’m sure it isn’t too surprising. They are more shocked when I say that I prefer K-drama so much that I rarely watch any Western television these days. Yes, even though I don’t speak Korean, so I have to read all the dialog and, yes, I realize I miss nuances that only native...

Read MoreEditorial: Why “Fresh Off The Boat” Matters
I debated back and forth about if I should write a review of Fresh Off the Boat or not because it doesn’t quite fit into our mandate. However, it’s certainly not a stretch to say that it’s relevant to our audience. That fact, coupled with having never reviewed an American sit-com or any American TV program, decided the issue for me – I was going to write about the sit-com, but not a review, rather I would...

Read MoreReview: C’est Si Bon (쎄시봉)
I was quite excited to watch this film as both a music lover and a history buff as it’s set in the 1970s and based on a real Korean folk music band and music venue. Unfortunately, it was a little disappointing as the film was less about the music and more about a romance… Synopsis The film, C’est Si Bon (쎄시봉), which takes its name from the legendary “C’est Si Bon” music hall, is set in the...
