No clowns allowed. I treat kdramas, cdramas and doramas like visitors I temporarily invite into my head space. If they’re a drain on my patience and mental energy, I give them a boot to the backside. You see, as I grow older and my time become more finite, I must be selective in the company […]
A Splendid Match: First Impressions
I started this cdrama because it played into my Chinese stereotypes. Spoilers. 1. The disastrous “One-Child Policy” of China truly did a number on family kinship. The family structure of the male lead Chen Yan Yun (YY) looks complicated because there are so many branches that a character relationship chart can come in handy. For […]

Perfect Crown: Ep 5 On Villains and Antagonists
I’ll catch up soon. This show’s Friday-Saturday schedule is throwing me off. *********** I wrote about the differences between villains and antagonists when I watched the cdrama, “Legend of the Female General.” It would be good to revisit them because I think a lot of viewers have discounted Prime Minister Min. A villain is the […]

Report from the Shallow Island: Zhang Linghe or Byeon WooSeok
Oh dear. I’m in a quandary about which drama to review first: Zhang Linghe’s “Pursuit of Jade” or Byeon WooSeok’s “Perfect Crown.” Zhang Linghe’s “Pursuit of Jade” -costarring cutie-pie Tian Xiwei -40 episodes, all released on IQIYI and Netflix -historical costume cdrama -I’m currently on Episode 12 -he’s a marquis, fiercest general, in a pretend […]
Perfect Crown: Ep 3 My Highlights, part 2
Good things come to those who wait. 3. Another conspiracy theory: is the current king on medication? Was the late king on drugs? Just hear me out. YA made such a big fuss about his nephew/the King eating ramen at night. HJ: A bowl of ramyeon wouldn’t have taken that long to finish. YA: And […]
Perfect Crown: Ep 3 My Highlights, part 1
Another fun episode. Sorry for writing on a piecemeal basis. 😂 1. First Mission: Swaying Public Opinion Grand Prince Yi Ahn agrees to marry her if she can prove herself worthy.
