Sageuk Questionables

As you may know, I am currently enjoying Trees with Deep Roots. It’s a very fun show, indeed. Hopefully I can give you a review in the next month or so. But you’ll have to wait for that. As an intermezzo, I want to bring up something I’ve been wondering a few times. Seeing these sageuks, there are always things that I question about. Most of my questions are related to their time period, which is historical of course, and the nonsensical things that happen during. So, let’s get on to it!

Fashion King in New York and Beyond

Truthfully I have nothing to write today and it's been a week since my last post. Ugh, semester number 6 is really putting a toll on my freedom to enjoy time for myself. Anyways, so it won't be too empty around here, I'm just going to troll you with numerous stills from Fashion King. It's only a matter of weeks until the premiere date and I am getting excited. The plot line is still as unclear as ever, but I guess that won't stop me from watching it. Duh.

Ode to 1 Night 2 Days

 

Sigh. I can't believe the moment has finally come. The 1 Night 2 Days that I love dearly, that I look forward to every weekend for 3 years, has finally come to an end. I know, I know, they're going to have a "2nd season" but we all know this is not the same. I heard Kim Seung-woo is going to be in it. And I adore! him on KBS's Win Win as the quirky main MC. I'll be looking forward to that. Joo Won and Sung Si-kyung is also going to be there. But no matter what, there will never be the same 1 Night 2 Days like the ones before.

Fashion King Officially Kicks Off!

Ah, yes, one of the most anticipated dramas of the year (at least for me), Fashion King, is officially in shooting mode. The four main cast, Yoo Ah-in, Shin Se-kyung, Lee Je-hoon, and Yuri are off to New York City to film their first scene together where, perhaps in a strange de javu moment or something where they all meet in the middle of Times Square as they awkwardly stare at each other reminiscing about the strange past they shared together as the camera spins around them trying to capture that exact moment as each character attempts to put on their most angst-ridden face ever. Ha, I'm just kidding. It may actually be like that but I'll remain doubtful. Someone give me a lollipop if that does come true.

It's Coming, INFINITE's 2nd Invasion Concert

I haven't talked about INFINITE for a while, mostly because they haven't released their regular material lately. They released a Christmas-y single entitled 'Lately' back in December, but it was a combination of laziness and lack of Sunggyu lines (forgive me, I'm terribly biased) that I decided not to review it. Anyways, personal issues aside, this post is going to talk about a momentous occasion in INFINITE's short but glorious history, their first Korean solo concert entitled 2nd Invasion.
