K-DRAMA REVIEW: “Serendipity’s Embrace” Charms With An Interesting Take On First Love Fizzling Out Over Time

The drama wraps up its narrative with a controversial ending that leaves me more pondering than satisfied. Is it all okay as long as our leads end up together, or is the process leading to that just as important? Our leads might have loved each other sincerely, but love alone...

K-DRAMA REVIEW: “The Atypical Family” Flows Off-Beat Character Rhythms In Oddly Fascinating Narrative

High on tension and easy resolutions and low on character development, the drama concludes its run with a finale just as atypical as the entire story was. But for a drama about superpowers, I think we should just suspend our disbelief and be thankful that no one was sacrificed, and...
