Playful Kiss

If you’re following my coverage of Playful Kiss (the Korean drama that Netflix told me I would like) or want a list of my posts about it, you’ve come to the right place!

Best screencap so far.

First: the Disclaimer that I attach to the beginning of every review.

Playful Kiss is an example of “kdrama” or “K Pop.” This is an area of pop culture I know nothing about as it is mostly a phenomenon in South Korea and other Asian countries. Truly, I am going into this basically blind with the exceptions of a perusal of Wikipedia and questions posed to a friend who knows slightly more than I do about this area. I don’t pretend to understand what’s normal or good; I’m just commenting as an outsider. If you’re here because you googled Playful Kiss and you really love it, I’m not sure you’ll like me much as I’m a bit snarky about it. No disrespect is intended, and I would be horrified at the thought of being really culturally insensitive. I’m actually kind of enjoying it, so I hope you can read along with a sense of humor. If you have concerns, you can definitely leave a comment or email me at sparksfromthewheel at gmail dot com. All screen caps were made by me using by iPad and Netflix Instant.
