We're unpardonably late this month (thanks to my ear infection), but here's the Yak that should have come out in early March. We talk about the two romantic comedies that caught all the eyeballs in Feb, and give our final (somewhat scathing) thoughts on the ending of The Last Empress. We could have gone on (Min Yoo-ra could have taken up another hour), but we took pity on you. XP

00:33:52 - Touch Your Heart/Reach of Sincerity

00:49:31 - Crowned Clown

00:58:44 - My Strange Hero

01:05:31 - The Last Empress (wrap up!)

01:25:35 - Orange Marmalade

01:28:09 - 1N2D

NON KOREAN STUFF -
