Friday Drama Review – “Queen of Ambition”
Monarch of Madness? Perhaps Not. Ambition. Passion. Revenge. The series “Queen of Ambition” wrapped up its final episode with much weeping and nose-blowing, but all plot-lines were neatly tied up and finished. It felt, when all was said and done, that all 24 episodes were needed to fully develop the nefarious tale and all…

Soju DramaQueen Movie Review – “Oldboy”

Classic Melodrama – Prepare to Cry. High-tension melodrama may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but add a few gangsters, throw in a spunky, in-your-face wanna-be girlfriend, exploit great cinematography and put it together with fabulous music and you might even entice the most hard-core melo-haters.

Friday Drama Review: “Romance Town”
Bad Title for a Good Drama This drama had been on my “To Be Watched” list for quite some time as I had seen it on a few ‘Must See’ lists, but I’d been postponing because the synopses I had read did not seem that intriguing and the title gave it more of an American…
