I’m back stateside, but I’m feeling under the weather. Nothing serious. Give me a couple of days, and I should be as right as rain. Here’s what I’m watching this month. (BTW, I just signed up for Kocowa premium membership. It’s my reward to myself for working relentlessly these past few weeks.) @GB, which show […]
Perfect Crown: Ep 7 Quick Questions
I’m not in the mood to ponder about love so I’m skipping Ep 5 for now. May circle back later. ********* Inquiring minds want to know a number of things that happened in this episode. I’ll start with the most salacious one. Question 1. What transpired between Yi Ahn and HuiJu on the yacht? Well, […]

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. YA: Prepare yourself to become the Grand Prince’s wife. You will be up against the whole nation. HJ: (smiling) YA: Before all that, shall […]
Perfect Crown: Eps 1 & 2, part 2
Where was I? 3. The couple goals On the surface, it appears like Seong HuiJu’s goal is to INHERIT the Castle Group while Yi Ahn’s goal is to VACATE the palace group. I like the symmetry of their couple goals. a. HJ’s goal From the beginning, HJ was very vocal about her goal. In Episode […]

Perfect Crown: Eps 1 & 2 My Notes, part 1
I don’t do recaps so let me get down to the brass tacks. My notes will come in two parts. 1. The epilogue in Episode 1 Don’t miss this. There were two scenes meshed in the epilogue of Episode 1. First scene. During the Royal King’s birthday festivities (and sometime before the explosion in the […]
Yumi’s Cells Season 3: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
I didn’t finish Season 1, and I skipped Season 2 because I had little patience for the emotional rollercoaster of her love life. I tuned in, however, for the premiere of this final season as she’s supposedly meeting her last love and true love, Shin Soon-rok (SSR). I was hoping that she’d learn from her […]
