So, what are we all watching this week?
What kept you reaching for more (or agonizing when there was no more), and what made you want to throw your remote through the screen? Time to weigh in…

Call It Love: I haven’t caught Episode 8 yet, but that doesn’t meant I’m not dying to, and not loving this drama’s sure-footed, slow pace. One thing I’m enjoying is that the story isn’t very active and is mostly strung together by long scenes or moments that we watch unfold. Woo-joo and Min-young’s darts and drinking sequence is a good example of this. Things happen, and they mean something, but not a ton is actually said. It’s spare in a way that I never expected a melo romance about failed revenge to be, and I might be rewatching this as soon as it’s over.

The Heavenly Idol: I’m a little behind on this drama as it has moved down my list of priorities. Still cute and silly, this drama has become the show I watch during the week to kill time while I wait for the more interesting weekend dramas to drop.
Taxi Driver 2: I’m starting to think this season is better than the last, and I only hesitate to say it for certain because the “punishments” for the bad guys are a bit too inconclusive. I’m not saying our vigilante team should go back to locking up the bad guys in a makeshift prison, but the last two cases have ended with the villains relatively free to go back to their devious ways once they come to their senses and find another avenue for their money-making scams. The team could really use a like-minded, no-questions-asked partner in the prosecutor’s office. Too bad Esom didn’t return for the second season.
Divorce Attorney Shin: The last genre I expected was to watch — and enjoy! — was a legal drama, but this one has the right mixture of comedy and legal mumbo jumbo to captivate me! My only gripe is that I have to be subjected to the atrocious stepmother of Attorney Shin’s nephew. She hasn’t gotten a lot of screen time, but it’s enough to make me hate her. I guess every legal drama needs a villain.
