Since I have only two more weekends of “A Bona Fide Killer,” I have time to spare for other dramas. However, I’m NOT interested in: 1. “A Love Other Than Yours” starring Seo Kang Joon (“When the Weather is Fine”) and Ahn Eun Jin (“Dynamite Kiss” and “My Dearest”). This kdrama is about a couple who […]

Against the Current: Ep 15 My Long Notes
Happy Chuseok! Where are we? Ah! Episode 15. In the previous episode, Lin JinQi (JQ) and his assistant JiuGao rushed to naval camp of Commander Yuan (aka Marquis Yong Chang) to retrieve LanXiang and YuChan. It worried JQ that the Commander didn’t return the ladies after the Wo pirates were captured. At the camp, Commander […]

The Ordinary Jackpot: Watch It or Dodge It?
I shall watch it for now. 🎉🎉🎉😂 If the last non-romantic office kdrama you saw was “Misaeng: Incomplete Life” (2014), then it may be good to follow it up with “The Ordinary Jackpot.” I think they can be viewed as bookends. “Misaeng” is about a young intern learning to navigate corporate world with his diverse […]
Against the Current: Ep 1 Food for Thought
This is my sleeper hit of September. I didn’t expect to like a show with the actor Liu XueYi in it, and the number of episodes far exceeded my 30-episode cap. But that scene after the women hung themselves and the camera zoomed out to show the row of skirts and shoes floating in the […]

A Bona Fide Killer: List of OSTs
I’m sure some folks want to know what that last song is. 1. “Paper Flower” Sung by LeeHigh Like ticking clock hands, irregular breathing Stealing away even a sigh, gazes closing in tight [Pre-Chorus] A today that feels just like yesterday, endless meaningless arguments A trap made by the world, trapped right inside it Save […]

A Bona Fide Killer: Ep 12 Loose Ends
Yes, I already wrote about my sniper theories, so I’ll wrap this episode up. (If you don’t have time to read my sniper theories, I’ll summarize it now. Contrary to popular belief that it must be SeulGi, I propose that there’s a new sniper in town. It’s the “mysterious individual(s)” whom SeulGi went back to […]

A Bona Fide Killer: Ep 11 My Brief Notes
Let’s dive right in. 1. Bong TaeMin Role: Tactical Weapons Developer and Specialist. Petname: Stinky He reminds me of two things: a. The cartoon character “Pig-Pen” from “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schulz. But while Pig-Pen travels in swirls of dirt, TaeMin travels in a mist of stench. b. A skunk. Viewers laugh at his scenes […]
A Bona Fide Killer: Ep 12 Who’s the New Sniper?
I’ll write my usual quick takes on Eps 11 and 12 later. For now, let’s throw out some theories on the new sniper. 1. He must be Sergei/SeulGi. That’s the popular notion: he did it for BoNa. He protects her by muddling up police investigation, giving her an alibi, and diverting public attention. This theory […]

A Bona Fide Killer: Ep 10 My Quick Takes
I’ll begin with frippery. 6. Team Cop or Team Hacker? Team Hacker. Just because the incongruity of the match creates more unpredictability and therefore, tension. Although The Hacker professed no interest in SeAh, he didn’t like it when The Cop showed up to interrupt his date. That’s a plus. When he could have used The […]
