It’s been a while since I last wrote a WAWW thread that I needed to dust off my memory banks to remember what I included in them. Synopsis, cast, number of episodes, start date, air date, where to watch it, original network. Did I miss anything? I’ll continue keeping an eye on these shows released […]
My Bias, My Boss: Ep 8 On Fremdschämen
We all know what schadenfreude is. It’s enjoying another person’s misfortune, feeling vindicated at his failure and/or gloating over his humiliation. Now, let’s add another German word to our lexicon, fremdschämen. Instead of gloating, it’s being mortified by somebody’s humiliation, awkwardness, and/or lack of self-awareness. In short, second-hand embarrassment. Schadenfreude conveys a lack of sympathy […]
Spooky in Love: Eps 8 to 12 Open Thread
The thread is open. I’m running behind because I had to finish the other weekend kdramas on my To Watch list, namely, “The Apartment Job” which satisfactorily concluded last week, and “A Bona Fide Killer” which is my new fave. Fingers crossed, I’ll catch up with y’all before Episode 11 comes out. I figured the […]

Spooky in Love: Ep 7 My Highlights
I like YeoRi and GangUk’s opening conversation. It sets the tone of the episode. YR: Are you sure about this? GU: Yes, I’m sure. After all, I’m the only person you can comfortably share your everyday life with. This. He doesn’t view her ghost-seeing ability as a curse, but as a godsend because it brought […]
Spooky in Love: Ep 6 Quick Takes
Not that I’m keeping count, but we’re three for three with this kdrama. In my first write-up for this kdrama, I said that GangUk was alive, and gave two reasons. One was pretty obvious to those with observant eyes: GangUk wasn’t wearing the same clothes he died in, unlike the other ghosts who had appeared […]
Spooky in Love: Ep 5 Quick Takes
Re. Episode 5 Mwahahaha. Just as I thought: GangUk is alive. Many viewers are complaining however that his recovery strains credulity. Seems like they haven’t been paying attention to the show. Earlier, I said in my reply to @GB that both the script and the direction play fast and loose with reality. One example I […]

LMK plays a street magician who revamps his shtick after encountering Son YeJin. He creates a horror-magic show, casting her as an avenging ghost. Little does […]

My Notes for Episode 21: 1. Lessons from the bird that flew away Ye Li: Once some things are gone, they’re gone. That’s why I don’t want to take anything easily. For what one possesses, one must guard with care. MXY: I will always stay by your side. a. Ye Li has attachment-phobia. From her […]
