Here’s an update on the four dramas I had on my Watch list last month: “Brewing Love,” which I dropped after 30 minutes of Ep 1, because it was slow. I’ll give it a second chance once all 12 episodes are out. That way I can skip the boring parts. Besides, I can’t resist the […]

Now that Eps 5 & 6 are postponed for next week, we have more time to go over the last episodes. I’ll refine my response to GB’s comment. She asked: The other question is why the villains want to get at SE through HJ. Why not directly? What are they asking for? @GB, my short […]

For instance, two leads share the same names and birthdates. I’ve never seen that before. To avoid confusion, I […]
