I don’t get the renewed interest in this old review. Was it because the kdrama was uploaded onto Netflix? Or was my review spammed? I dunno. Since the comment section is already closed and I’m disinclined to open an old thread for newcomers, I’ll simply repost it. Feel free to comment. However, please do remember […]
Throwback Thursday: The Coffee Mystery
This is my stance on the coffee mystery. This is a “Throwback Thursday” post (although it’s only Monday) because it’s recycled from a password-protected write-up. I’m only updating the write-up with this comment from @Janey. (@Janey, I hope you don’t mind me sharing this out here.) I am curious to see who the coffee giver […]

Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 12 SongHwa’s Perspectives
Hospital Playlist Season 2 begins next week so I’m gearing up for a hectic premier with the usual reminders. This blog is a safe space for Flower Gardeners. I’ve given fair warning to viewers who ship JW with Jang and/or Songhwa with IJ: You are NOT welcome here. Do yourselves a favor and leave. There […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 10 The Package and the Proposal
There are new lurkers coming to the blog daily so I’ll repeat what I said before. This blog is a safe space for Flower Gardeners. If you’re a FGer without a password, please email @nrllee and @miracle23 at bodflowergarden at gmail.com. If you aren’t a FGer, then please exit this thread. DO NOT duplicate, broadcast, […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 10 On IJ’s Confession
Recently, somebody asked what I thought of IJ. In a word, sly. He’s a sly one. Note, however, that I distinguish between actor and character. My blog is NOT like soompi or fan twitter where critiquing/criticizing a character is viewed as bashing the actor. I say that the actor deserves praise if he/she has convincingly […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 8 Is Ikjun = Taek?
Another one for Throwback Thursday. This is my companion piece to Jang’s Not-So-Secret Admirer. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 In a word, no. In Mr. Knightley’s words, “Really, it’s better to be without wits than to misapply them as you do, fangirls!” I heard that the former fans of JungHwan from “Reply 1988” have now morphed into the IJ […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 7 Jang’s Not-So-Secret Admirer
I claim credit to founding the IkJun +Jang ship. lol. They make the best pairing because their personalities match like chopped liver and fava beans, and they look adorable together. Hmmm…what name shall we give them? 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Update: 4/30/20 There’s a line now at BitchesRUs for “Sense of Humor,” “Crap Happens” and “Who Asked Your […]
Throwback Thursday: HP: Ep 7 Was Jang’s Rejected?
Last year, when Episode 7 ended in a cliffhanger, people were speculating whether JW accepted Jang’s invitation to eat out together or not. I guessed that he rejected her. Here was my explanation. Lol. I didn’t base it on wishful thinking. I based it on the theme of the episode. To me, this writer doesn’t […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 6 On Dr. Romantic
A whole year later and I still stand by this character analysis. However, as I wrote this after Episode 6, I didn’t have the advantage (like many of you now) of knowing the other delusional things he did later on. Like, how in Ep 12 he proposed to SongHwa, all the while ignoring her awkward […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 5 SongHwa’s First Love
In this old post of mine, I noted that the Songhwa is the complete antithesis of Jang. I would have to be blind not to see how directly opposite they are when many of Songhwa’s best qualities were featured in these past five episodes (NOTE: when I wrote this, only five episodes had been shown). […]
Throwback Thursday: HP The Bass and the Drums
For @Growing_Beautifully. Meeting of the minds… 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 I’m reposting @nrllee’s explanation of the relationship among the band players, specifically the conjoined roles of the bass guitar and drums, or Songhwa and JW. All I can add to nrllee’s post is this — Back in Episode 4 at 1:10:51, during the early stages of the band, […]
Throwback Thursday: HP 3 On Dealing With Cheaters
Our discussions in this blog weren’t all about the lovelines. Here for instance, I pointed out the difference between JWan and JW’s approach to dealing with cheating when one of their friends was involved. Songhwa was upset with JWan for keeping quiet about her cheating boyfriend. I agreed with her. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 @sayaris wrote this: […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 3 Review & Easter Egg
This blog was the first one to point out the significance of coffee in the drama. You see, in Episode 1, I noticed that Songhwa gave her colleague Dr. Bong “iced Americano,” saying that it should be good enough. In her own words: “It should be good enough. If I get you something better, it’ll […]
