Oohlala Spouses Episode 2 Recap

  Body swapping already! Plus some references to other shows. Yay! Still not much brevity on my part, though. Oops. :}

Crappily Ever After: Awful Endings in Dramas

  Do I have to post a spoiler alert? 'Cuz there are spoilers ahead. Major ones.
  After reading the recaps for the finale of Dr. Jin, I feel the need to address something. Seriously, what is the deal with dramas and their craptastic endings? It feels like a recent thing, but maybe it's gone on forever, and I'm just noticing the newest cluster of Terrible Finales. You can use more than one episode to wind down a story, people. You should know how you want things to end at least by episode 10, so you can start to resolve things before the last 15 minutes of the finale. Honest.

Big 11-12

  There was just so much awesome sauce packed into episode 12 of Big! I know a lot of people haven't liked the pacing of this show, and for them episode 11 was especially bad, but I felt it was necessary to get Gil Da Ran to where she needed to be. Plus, it led up to such a great ending for ep. 12, that I can't really complain. 
  I'm not saying Big is without its problems, but the overarching story is what I love, and I love that it's so focused on the characters. I guess in many ways it's like Coffee Prince that way. This brings me to my highlights of these episodes.

Making Evil Mother pay for her evilness.

Big Burdens and Fading Hearts

  This post deals with episodes 9 and 10 of Big, and all the things leading up to them. You have been warned.

(Gong Yoo can stare at me like that any day.)

"Taking Responsibility"

  A common theme in dramas, it can refer to something as simple as paying for dry cleaning or damages to property. More commonly, it refers to a lifelong commitment to marriage after getting someone pregnant (or sometimes after a one-night stand).
