Thanks y’all!
I am definitely not ready for this emotional roller coaster of an end. Worse off, I’ll be traveling so I may not get to 15 and 16 when they appear on Netflix. So this is what kdrama addiction feels like, eh? My backstory, I just started watching kdrama this year b/c I ran out of quality things to watch on Netflix. Most of my guy friends are guys so I did not have an outlet to talk about kdrama so I stumbled up Bitches Over Dramas. And here we are. I can’t wait to see what happens in 15 and 16 & also what you guys have to say about it.
I just want what SR said … “I saw U Pil once, and he said that his father told him to be nice to his friends. But I told him he shouldn’t. I told him the world isn’t that beautiful. I told him to hit others before he gets hit. Although I said that, I wished U Pil’s father was right … deep down.” I hope the end will be beautiful and happily ever after.
@Packmule3… You remember!! No, we didn’t invent the name together. You invented it and I accepted it 😄 I still don’t have any other internet name. Not that I need any. This is the only public forum I ever voice my opinions on. Thank you 😘
@Packmule3 glad to have stumbled on a place where people are free to rant, and just praise, a kdrama. Similar to @John L, I’m not well-versed in kdramas. Have seen too few and far in between (maybe 5 in the last 10 years lol) only because I watch it for escapism. So it’s always been a romcom fare for me, especially when I get fed up with Western shows (only Downton Abbey held my interest as well as a kdrama). Unfortunately, kdramas can be emotionally taxing for someone like me who is quick to invest on characters (more than the story). Your blog has been a nice place to read thoughts and express sentiments especially for people who don’t really have friends one can discuss kdramas about (they’re all busy with PS I Love You or other American Netflix originals)
Your posts on Proust, the options for the 3 kisses, and on Han were my favorites, not because I agreed point by point. It’s just nice to see a different perspective on a story, rather than be an echo chamber of swooning, and have this perspective eloquently written. I also learned something new. Now Han goes along some of my favorite emotional concepts like Saudade.
Unfortunately, I’m probably going to follow Se-Ri’s advice and not watch a kdrama soon. This will be my condolence period. I get sad over stories ending, more so in dramas and books because you miss characters who never really existing in the first place.
Whatever happens in the end, I am still happy to have watched this drama. I enjoyed reading the comments and I got motivated to practice and memorize Clair de Lune.
Ok. The end is nigh. Yesterday I was naively looking forward to the satisfaction of a happy ending. I felt a light giddiness anticipating the happiness awaiting SEri and RJH. THEN I saw the Ep 15 preview. Now I feel anxious. Slightly ill. I can’t take any more. Its like going to the dentist. I know ep. 15 is going to hurt……
Hi! I’ve been a lurker for quite a while now. I’m not quite ready to let go of this drama yet. My ‘sepanx’ (separation anxiety) kicked up a notch last week. I feel like I’m sending off a loved one going overseas.
My “after-CLOY life plan” would be to re-watch it and after each one I would re-read your blog entry for that particular episode.
After watching ep 15….I don’t know. Will it be happy ending? May be. Less screen time between RJH and SR. Drove me crazy. Should’ve watched ep 15 and 16 in one sitting 😂
Thanks for the heads up, Jillian. 👍
1) The takeaway? The epilogue shows them in the rain. He’s getting drenched in cold rain as he protects Seri. The camera crew goes to some lengths to make sure you don’t miss just how much rain is falling on him. Okay. Is this supposed to be the summary of the whole series? The troubles that he took for her ?
2) I’m very perplexed. Both at the EP and especially the preview. What the heck? I’m hoping to read some explanations here. 🙏
I think the last scene was quite interesting, though. In SR’s dream, it showed us what SR chose regarding her dilemma of “love” (refer to SR’s decision tree of “what is love?” that @packmule3 has wonderfully made). SR said that if she can turn back time, she chose to “do it all over again” despite all the dangers and the outcome she experienced. However, JH was the total opposite. He chose to not meet her so SR will not know him and continue living a happy life. Does this mean he chose “letting go”? I wonder how these revelations will influence their next course of action in ep 16.
As for the preview, RJH was at the border and crossed to NK, but he turned back and rushed towards SK side(yay!). I’m just hoping the writer won’t troll with us again lol
This is emotional abuse. Why leave us with such cliffhanger? Shockingly for some reason I actually liked this episode. Too tired now to comment on details. Looking forward to what others have to say.
Oh and @packmule3, you’re absolutely right about RJH’s dad being a Red Flag. Plot twist, turns out he’s cruel enough to sacrifice his own sons for his damned position. JH’s dad is even worse than SR’s dad. I’m MAD. Poor JH 🙁
@jillian but I think the bad guy was just saying that to play with JH’s head. The dad seemed genuinely concerned when he learned all of them has been captures by NIS.
I initially liked the episode cuz I was still tipsy from a party I just went to. Now that my head is clearer, I am like this has to be the worst noble idiot trope ever. JH almost killed himself and almost killed Seri when it was evident to everyone that he was here to save Seri and not to be a spy. So he came to South Korea without a plan and caused a mess. The writer really messed up with the JH character. He went from a honorable capable captain (with lots of feelings hidden inside his mind) to a one dimensional trope.
And it would’ve been so nice if they had just ended the second couple’s story when the guy gave the ring to the lady. The shoot out at the end was so needless and now we need to spend another 10-15 minutes in tomorrow’s episode to close this story line.
Argh.
My cousin who has been watching drama for at least twenty some years and seems very calm and collected because she firmly believes Ep 16 will be a happy ending for JH and Seri…
On the other hand, I was sobbing at the face-to-face interview between JH and Seri… it seemed that she’s determined to send him back home safely as he did for her by agreeing to show up at the NIS Detention Center in the worst health position…
Ep 15 was meant to tie up all loose ends so JH and Seri appearance was for a minimal amount through out the one-hour-and-twenty five minute…
There is no new developments in terms of their characters, behaviors, how deeply their love towards each other that the write hasn’t introduced to us already.. There’s a Vietnamese saying, “ We are serving the same liquor just from a different style of bottles.”
I’m happy that “the rat’s family is safe!
I’m ready to welcome Ep 16 tomorrow and look forward to read all of your opinions!
I’m so emotionally drained after Ep 15. I really hope for a happy ending for SR and JH. After all that they have been through!
I’m a little puzzled by what CCK said to JH about his dad when he was dying from the gunshot wounds. Does he mean that JH’s father is also involved in all the corruption and illegal stuff? Maybe that was the thing the CCK said that JH overlooked when JH was investigating him. He failed to see that his father was bad. Maybe that’s why JH’s father worked so quickly to get CCK to trial. And maybe that’s why SD’s uncle went to the trial and acted so suspiciously towards the judge. Maybe he was trying to end the trial quickly not because for himself, but because he knew about JH’s father and wanted to keep it a secret from JH? And from everyone? I’m confusing myself lol.
I think JH overlooked at the amount of steel CCK crew obtained illegally from the USSR because they were listed on the Invoices. There was indeed another factory besides the legitimate shop that was part of the State Department Base…
I’m okay with errors in judgement from JH. It is what makes him human. Although he’s a pre-written character, it’s those errors that make him human. Of course he came to SK without a plan. If he had a plan, he wouldn’t have come 🙂 He simply ran over to her side. In the Harry Potter series as well, one becomes increasingly upset as the books progress to see obvious errors in judgement from the characters one loves so much and thinks highly of. But that’s just the way these characters are supposed to be.
The nobel idiocy began on his part the day he decided to save Seri from State department of his country. It’s how his character is supposed to be. Seri understands that too. She keeps reiterating that he says a lot of lies about things (and himself) being okay when they aren’t. She also knew he’ll take all the blame and try to spare everyone else. And in spite of knowing all of this, he was her choice. Again and again. As she narrates in the end.
Totally agree with @Ahrisi.. Today’s episode was such a roller-coaster.My expressions were changing like a pendulum.At one point I will be wiping my tears and suddenly in the next scene found myself smiling brightly through those tears. This episode was needed to tie up the loose ends so that finale episode do not seem too rushed.Also tomorrow’s episode is going to be quite long.As far as I know its runtime is 1hr 51 min .
I watched it twice on the plane … w/ tears. I’m emotionally spent. Not only w/ SR/JH, but w/ SJ/Dan too.
What a great episode. I think The drama is ending strong. You have to give it credit, I was in tears one second and laughing out loud the next. It has the right balance of dramatics, emotions and Humor. I think episode 15 was strong and I can only imagine tmr will be better. A team like this won’t make an error for the last episode. It was neat editing, right pace, perhaps some illogical moments (or choices) by some characters but I really like how they link Seri to choosing all over again to meet him and fall in love. This links back to her decision tree on what is love: and she has the answers now.
It’s dumb that Jeong Hyuk is still on the “I hope we never met” mindset but it’s understandable on his situation and he has tmr to change his mind.
Writer-nim, if you kill Seung Jun, I will never watch your dramas again…
I’m not sure we are going to get a happy ever after so I’m comforting myself coming up with one of my own. Based on what I saw in ep 15 I would write the ending like this : SEri pretends to be dead – she is not really flatlining -her tears are due to fact she knows she is hurting RJH – but she always knew their relationship would come to an unhappy end so she is getting on with what has to be done to send RJH home safely and she has no regrets. She fakes her death in concert with the NIS to force RJH to tell the truth and to go back to North Korea – to avoid a big issue with NK (that’s why they let him go to the hospital. They are all being cruel to be kind. The box RJH is opening in the preview of ep16 is a parcel Seri left for him – with the ring she said she’d wear every day of her life in it. 😢 RJH heads back north but finds out she’s still alive accidentally at the border and turns back but then has to go on to save his parents lives. He complete his military service for three years (next year and the year after that and even the year after that). On her birthday three years hence he goes to sigriswil and goes to the bridge. She is also there. He admits he knew she was alive and has spent three years working on a way to get out of NK. Now he is based in Switzerland playing the piano. Happy ever after. I may just imagine that ending and not watch tomorrow.
I LOVED the whole John Malkovich in Dangerous Liasons denial of love scene – RJH did it so well – almost too well. I nearly believed him. I had tears. 😥
I don’t like that the timeline keeps with real time. It lessens my enjoyment. I know I can imagine a three year separation but with the timeline as it is that obviously isn’t going to happen. So they will be separated one day at most ….which is not quite so melodramatic…. Off to make up more endings in my head. Happy happy ones. Can’t. Take. Much. More.
Hi All,
Let me just start by saying how much I enjoyed coming to this blog, reading the awesome analyses as well as all the comments. I have never been one to rationalise K dramas plots since the main reason I watch them is for the visuals (yes, I am shallow one I am).
Anyways,I had to gloss watch Episodes 13 & 14 last week since my husband got hospitalised and real life( drama..yup, there was a bit that happened!)had to take precedence over my CLOY filled existence before he had accident.
Since he was discharged yesterday, I made sure to plonk myself in front of the TV to catch up last night’s penultimate screening. Was nearly in tears with the story line. But I have faith in the writer and the entire production team. So, fingers crossed. Plus need to rewatch Episodes 13-16 again!
The epilogue was a take/parody on Something in The Rain aka Pretty Noona…the only swoon worthy moments for me in yesterday’s show.
It’s going to be really hard to move on after this!
I don’t know exactly how I feel about Ep 15. Maybe because I had conditioned myself that this will be a happy ending that I got caught off guard by the cliffhanger, and SJ and SD’s story arc. In fact, I found that SJ and SD stole the show. The scene with the orphan at the marketplace and SJ’s confession of his feelings to SD were highlights for me. They were truly poignant moments, and the acting was on point.
Some points
1. Who were the thugs who kidnapped Dan? Were they acting under the instructions o the evil brother and his wife?
2. Was Cheol Gang simply playing with RJH’s mental state with his last words (and they were plenty for a dying man lol)
3. I think the reason why the evil couple have not been arrested is because the evidence against them were wiretap recordings and may be inadmissible as evidence. Or they have enough money and political clout too to delay their arrest? Or there will be no arrest because even if they have been disowned, the father knows an arrest might affect the company’s stocks?
4. Seo Ji Hye was brilliant here. Loved her performance!
I can’t wait for the last episode 😂😭😂. I’m so excited for this to end. But really I don’t want any of the characters to die. I hate the flatline sound that they put in the later seconds of the episode.
Also my SJ-D couple 😭😭😭 They’re already going to separate, why do they must give Dan yet another heartwrenching moment.
Such a nice ride, this cloy drama 😂. Tho I’m not gonna have any withdrawal syndrome for CLOY. Kudos to the actors and staff for a job well done especially filming during winter. I hope they’ll have a good rest.
It’s also nice reading the posts of regular and new b*tches here. Until the next drama to b*tch about 😉.
Have a bad feeling about Seung Jun – from the preview, looks like Seo Dan is planning to take down Seri’s family.
The highlights:
1. The only scene between JH & Seri – when he said seeing her bothers him more, it cut her to the core but she saw the tears rimming in his eyes and knew that this was killing him more. The underlying beautiful restraint was well played by both actors.
2. The love story of the second leads was told with less scenes but packed about the same emotional punch as the leads. Looks like he’s the one who flat-lined and Seo Dan will get even. Love Seung Jun’s character because he actually found himself & a woman he loves in NK, of all places. He has come to the realization that the best revenge is to move on & live one’s life.
Ep 16 ?????
From the preview, it looks like the SK NIS is offering a chance for JH to stay in SK but his parents may pull him back home. Nothing was shown about Seri. The scene where JH was running back to SK, I’m taking with a grain of salt, because in this show, grand gestures fade & they’re apart again. I honestly have no clue what this writer has up in her sleeve and how they end up with each other – but yes, they will live together, happily ever after. Saw the cute twin girls they casted in IG ….
Prayers for you and your family, azlina. I’m sorry to hear about your husband. I hope he’s on the mend now.
I’m already looking for the next kdrama to bitch about. 🙂
I can’t wait for Lee MinHo’s drama, “The King: The Eternal Monarch.” Now THAT drama should give us plenty of fodder to write about. But I’ve been toying with the idea of closing down my blog to new posters as a preemptive move because I don’t want to be inundated by Lee MinHo’s fangirls. Or maybe I’ll just make some blog posts *private* for regular/old-timers’ eyes only.
Anyway, I’ve time to think the process through. The release day isn’t out yet.
Thank you for setting up this blog. Has been lots of fun – and humbling – it’s like going to a great dinner party, feeling really good about yourself and ready for witty conversation with some sharp one liners and then the host looks you in the eye and starts quoting Proust. Back to the books…..
I’m also emotionally invested in Antonio/Seung Jun’s fate although I didn’t talk about him much at all in this blog. I don’t want him dead.
When is Lee Min Ho’s new drama out? Where will I be able to see it? I’ll subscribe now before the stampede. And start a chalk countdown calendar on my bedroom wall….
Could some explain or retranslate RJHs line in the interview room with SEri when he says something like -“whatever about losing my whole life, it bothers me more seeing you” (or doming like that). It’s badly translated I think. Could someone clarify exactly what he said, please.
Or something ..not doming. Bad spell check.
Joonminfan, my take here is that the bad guy (Chulgang wasn’t it? I get names confused) was saying half-truths.
I’m going to believe Chulgang when he said that JH’s dad knew about the corruption and the illegal shipment of the Russian steel. However, the dad didn’t know that his son, the hyung, was actively investigating it and was killed because of the findings of his investigation. The dad regretted that.
And because of guilt, he tried to “bury” it as Chulgang said. This would constitute a perfect “dramatic irony” so often found in these drama. The father (indirectly) caused his beloved son’s death.
However, I’m not going to believe Chulgang when he said that JH’s dad wanted his surviving son to be killed, too. Chulgang’s claim is not at all supported by what we’ve seen of the dad’s action back home. The dad was stalling time for JH’s return.
However, we can’t be sure of Chulgang’s motivation for the lie.
‘
A. He could have deceived JH because he wanted to sow doubt in JH’s mind.
B. But it’s also possible that he told the lie because in his warped mind, everything is all about self-interest. As an orphan, he had no experience of a father’s love. He grew up only looking after his own interests. He believed that JH’s dad would ultimately choose to save his own skin and sacrifice his only living son so he could remain the Director.
I also agree with you that Dan’s uncle went to the trial and ordered it to be ended quickly because he was protecting an even bigger secret. Of course, he was protecting his cronies.
However, I’m still not sure if his crony was JH’s dad or somebody else. I thought it was more likely that he’d been protecting JH’s dad all along. Dan’s uncle didn’t want JH to know of his father’s involvement in the illegal shipment of the Russian steel. So he insisted that JH stop investigating his brother’s death in Episode 2, and he told JH that Chulgang died in the armor truck incident although Chulgang’s body was missing in Ep 10.
However, Dan’s uncle could ALSO be protecting the other side, too. You see, the armored truck was on a rescue mission to save Chulgang from his prison sentence. JH’s dad would have to be especially evil to rescue Chulgang AFTER Chulgang killed his first-born son and almost killed his only surviving JH.
Do you see what I mean? There are still a few more mysteries to solve here. There’s a bigger mess in the North Korea story line than in the South Korea’s one.
Thank you @packmule. He is fine now and recuperating well at home.
@themanwashere, I agree with this: “I found that SJ and SD stole the show. The scene with the orphan at the marketplace and SJ’s confession of his feelings to SD were highlights for me.” Their scenes were the most difficult for me, even more than the face-to-face question. I thought ep. 15 was excellent.
Thank goodness there was some humour in between. The vending machine was so good. Completely something my husband would do. I also liked the NIS men who understood the mindset, if not the motive, of JH and his men. Eun Dong seeing his hometown by satellite…ah. 😥
@Smartie, according to Netflix’s Chinese translation, JH is saying “compared to destroying my life, it makes me feel worse seeing you here, so please leave.” I was a bit confused after seeing English subtitle, so I cross checked Chinese subtitle.
Thank you @ Blue Galaxy. Ouch. Small wonder the NIS man called it harsh.
Thank you Blue Galaxy. But does that mean “I can’t stand the sight of you” which would be odd to say directly after saying he had grown attached to her. Something is off and I don’t really understand what exactly he means. Bit odd to say “My life is ruined but that’s better than a minute in your company.” It was such a good scene but I was left scratching my head.
@Smartie, I think the gist is that JH was trying really hard to push Seri away. So after she tries to convince JH not to shoulder everything himself, which could make him a criminal and destroy his life, JH tells Seri that seeing her is actually worse than destroying his life, please leave. So he was just being really harsh in Seri.
Personaly, I would be more a Woo Do Hwan’s fangirl. So you don’t have to be scared of me 😀
Another vote for Woo Do Hwan.
I like Woo Do Hwan too ! Where is he? Did the tempted debacle destroy his career or something?
I’m not much for HB. He’s a great actor who has aged well. 🙊 That’s all I have to say about him 🙂
Anyway, should I panic @packmule3 ?? Are you closing down your blog to comments ? As @Smartie mentions, it’s like a great big dinner party 🙂
@Arishi> Woo Do Hwan was in My Country that was a really great sageuk, he will be the second lead in the drama The King: The Eternal Monarch, it’s why I was talking about him.
Ohh thank you @Sayaris… I do not follow Korean entertainment industry much so I didn’t know. I this he has a lot of potential!
I’m risking many things here but I’m not much for LMH either 🙈
*runs away and hides in mountains and rivers*
Thanks @packmule3 for mentioning me. I’ve been missing because I’ve literally stopped checking this account. I used to come and see what was happening and your emails would get me reading and thinking. I guess I’ve had other things to think about. My bit of the world is a little more affected by the COVID-19 than I expected. I don’t recall our reaction to SARS being even 50% as serious as for this infection.
I’ve managed to watch this show later than usual but at least until the end, and am glad that besides the open thread, there’s something different to think about in the character of Pyo Chi Soo, etc. Time to read now… catch ya later!
I’m sorry to hear that, GB. This COVID-19 really caught the whole world off-guard. I hope your health care workers and government are equip to handle the situation.
I’m scheduled to leave for Asia soon but my office is still monitoring the spread of the virus. Hong Kong and Taiwan have been removed from my itinerary. Upon my return to the US, I’ll need to self-quarantine for two weeks, whether I’ve symptoms or not.
Praying for the sick, and that the worst is over…
@GB is it expected to be a hot summer where you are from? If yes, hang in there. Heat/direct sun rays significantly decrease virus survival rate in air droplets and as independent infectious entities. It should get better as days become hotter!
That’s the science. Now, I sincerely pray for it to be so.
My highlights-
I thought it was a perfect scene and dialogue when SJ gave Dan his ring. As much as JH kept accepting that Seri and him can’t be together, SJ made a decision to chose Dan, whatever happens. It’s just so sad it ended there. I cried with them.
I wanted to throw a pillow at JH when he said those words to Seri about seeing her is more torture than destroying his life. Given he wanted to kill two birds with one stone, Seri letting him go completely and for her to not be punished. Then he runs as soon as he founds out she’s collapsed. Served him right! 😤
The investigation scenes were hilarious for me. I thought maybe the SK side of NIS would be more stricter but I liked that they saw through JH’s facade. The fact that he was able to stay with Seri the whole time after their meeting was nice to see.
I liked the scene where the ladies and the whole neighbourhood saved Manbok’s wife and child.
Thank you @packmule3.
Just a note … I’m no longer receiving your responses to me as personal emails which I used to, whenever I clicked the 2 “Notify me …” options below, so I almost didn’t see that you had replied.
So far so good, our cases are not increasing by much and they can mostly be traced back to the old cases, so we know they are not totally new infections from unknown sources. That’s the scary part.
Yes, once you set foot in my part of the world and return, authorities should rightly keep you quarantined. The scary part is that I just saw something that suggested 14 days might not be long enough!!! Someone on the Westerdam cruise liner had already done 14 days on board ship but went off to, I think, the Netherlands and was sick there!!! on Day 15.
Yes we are praying for everyone and ourselves. Thank you for joining us in prayer.
Hi @Arihsi, thanks for replying!
I’m in Singapore where it’s humid and moves from cool to hot and back again. It’s been raining on and off. I’m hoping that the warmer June/July weather will kick the virus properly, but as yet, there are no guarantees.
Yes, I’m also praying for this to be true as the science tells us!! :->
@GB. Yes, prayers and wishes to those who are affected. May the weather co-operate and may the scientists develop an efficient vaccine soon. Please take care.
Praying with you @GB ! Take care and we have missed you here.
@agdr
I liked that he was honest and that he told her that he had originally given the ring to Seri although it had been Dan who had admired the ring.
SPOILER
SPOILER
I really was shocked that Dan didn’t get a happy ever after with SJ. But after thinking it through, I guess he’d always be ‘on the run’ in Europe somewhere and wouldn’t be able to be comfortable back in SK. I’m not sure that he could ever live in NK again either. So to be at peace, he really had to ‘die’. Poor SJ.
Someone once said that there is no such thing as noble idiocy it’s just what people choose to do. However, the trope of being mean/and to lie to get someone to leave or to get someone to not regret a separation etc is an old trope and irritating, whether we call it noble idiocy or not! One of the things said about it is that it takes away the other person’s agency, because truth was withheld/lies were told. That’s probably why we hate it so much, not to mention that Seri got hurt. She understood it though and would have collapsed anyway from the sepsis.
I knew that they were rather unrealistic scenes and the NIS guys were rather overly great romantics themselves to put up with such soppy stuff from JH, … but I liked the scenes and the men in black.
This was about the most fave scene for me. 🙂
True @GB , it doesn’t need a name because it just does what it should, for us to accept it and hate it at the same time.
Thinking about it now, yeah SJ wouldn’t have a future anywhere especially if he survived in NK. He would still be punished with how he entered the country and that he’s from the south.
You’re not getting the notification alert? Hmmm… This happened to @agdr03 a while back. I don’t know what went wrong and since I’m not a techie, I decided sending her a direct invite was the easiest solution. I’ll do that. Just wait for an email from b3tches.
And now that you mentioned it, I checked my stats and I saw that this site is registering only ONE visitor. That’s it. ONE visitor. That’s too funny because from Singapore alone, I’ve a few hundreds of views. Unless….have YOU been obsessing and clicking on this blog hundreds of times?
Yes, I’m prepared for the quarantine/self-isolation States-side. The first week anyway after I return from a mission is spent on debriefing and writing so I should be fine with skype. 🙂 And if I can’t physically return to the office, then I’ll have more time to watch dramas.
Follow-up on the notification problem, GB.
I can’t add you as a follower because you’re already a follower. Ugh. I hope this is just temporary because I don’t know how my own website works.
Hmmm I thought last time you said you accidentally deleted me? Then you invited me again. After that it was all good. Was that how it was?
So I *did* delete you? I can’t remember now if I accidentally deleted you. But once in a while, I spot-check the follower and the spammer list and remove the dubious ones…for instance, a shirt vendor was one of my followers. I removed that. (sorry if she/he was legit…) Then, there was a hair salon. I removed that individual, too.
I check the spam because that’s where the newbie posts end up in while they wait for my moderation. 🙂 It’s like a purgatory for new posters until I open the gates of nirvana and welcome them to the blog. 🙂
Yes, I think that’s what happened. You mentioned that you were clearing too. Our comments on it are here but which drama? 🤔 He’s Psychometric or Hotel de Luna?
Maybe try that with @GB ‘s account and see how it goes.
It’s always better to check and clean anyway instead of getting not so nice posters.

I’m afraid I’m not getting any b3tches email or any notifications. The last I got was one of your normal ones … “Dr. Cutie: Eps 17 – 20 Open Thread”.
In the meantime, I’ll just have to be super vigilant and keep checking on the threads where I posted. 😁
Hi @Fern
Thank you for joining in the prayer for all of us and many others affected. We’re also praying for the brave people who have been working throughout: not only the medical folks but the delivery people, the drivers, the ones on the ground, those who have lost family members, friends, jobs and savings, because of this outbreak … and now we think of those coming back to work after the long hiatus and pray that there will not be a new wave of infections with more people movement. 🙏
@GB, I will keep on hoping and praying for all.
Awww so touched to see my name up there ❤️
Idk if I still hv some things I need to say for ep. 15… It was heartbreaking, but it was needed to build up finale and tie some loose ends…
The whole episode, I just screams in my head, “Ri Jeong-hyeok you’re a FOOL.” hahaha. I understand why he did what he did… Surely Seri does, too.. But RJH was a fool in this episode for me…both for believing the nonsense Chul-Kang spewed on his last breath and for lying through his teeth to push Seri away (and save her *rolls eyes).
