Hari’s in denial about her attraction for Taemoo so I’m going to make a list of all the times her heart went pitter-patter at the sight of him. Please help me out. I know BoDers are good at spotting these details and making a list. Episode 1 When she almost fell but he caught her. […]
Business Proposal: Ep 7 On Boyfriends
If Ep 5 was about Taemoo’s change of heart after discovering Hari’s lie, and Ep 6 was about his attempts to change Hari’s heart to see him as a boyfriend, instead of a terrifying boss, then I think Ep 7 tackles what it means to be a boyfriend. Despite the inherent frivolity of this kdrama, […]

2D1N: Ep 116 Highlights
@nrllee, you said a couple of weeks ago that you wanted to visit seaside town of Geoje which is near the big city of Busan, the capital of Lee MinHo’s Corea in “The King: Eternal Monarch.” Me, I’d like to see this Namwon, during their annual Chunhyang Festival in April. Lol. Doesn’t the palace in […]
W: Two Worlds: Ep 4 Rewatch on Sat Mar 26
The thread is now open for Ep 4 rewatch. I’ve heard it said that people rewatch old shows, instead of watch new shows, because a. they enjoy the predictability and b. the task requires less effort on the brains. But from what I’ve seen from @Growing_Beautifully, @WEnchanteur, @Cleopatra, @Welmaris, @Janey, @Fern, @FGB4877, and @Carolina, rewatching […]
Soundtrack #1: Open Thread
The premiere is tomorrow, Wednesday, March 22. It stars Park Hyung Sik (“Happiness”) and Han So Hee (“Nevertheless”). This is kdrama has a weird concept. There are four episodes in total. 30 minutes each episode; one episode to be shown a week. I’ll binge-watch all four episodes on the last Wednesday, April 13. But if […]
Business Proposal: Ep 7 On Carpe Diem, Carpe Kiss Him
“Carpe” in Latin means to pluck, to seize, to enjoy. “Carpe diem” means to seize the day. It’s to enjoy the moment. The line is taken from a Roman ode by Horace. According to this dictum, we can never know what tomorrow will bring, so we might as well enjoy the pleasures of life while […]

Business Proposal: Ep 6 On a Meaningful Day
Let’s resume where I left off. So, what’s a meaningful day for Hari and Taemoo? 1. They’re doing something that they both enjoyed. Hari: eating hamburger Taemoo: watching her enjoying herself Taemoo: Is it good? Hari: Yes. I’ve fulfilled my wish. She meant this, of course. Taemoo: I didn’t know that you liked hamburgers so […]
Business Proposal: Episode 6 My Takes
Kdrama viewers often mistake novelty for creativity when there’s more creativity entailed in flipping a cliché into something new and fresh again. I like “A Business Proposal” just for that reason. I’m familiar with the tropes used in this drama, just like I’m familiar with the wrinkles on my face. But the writer’s unique take […]
2D1N: Ep 116 Open Thread
The thread is open, @Fern and @nrllee. The men will form three teams. Clockwise from left: the “Two Johns,” the “Big and Small,” and the “Young and Old.” I think the caption says “Fantastic Chemistry, coming soon!” For me, this is the team to watch. The caption says, “Nan ‘John’ Kim” or “I ‘John’ Kim” […]
Twenty-Five Twenty-One: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers and discussions. Gifs from ahsung’s tumblr source: ahsung’s tumblr From this vantage point, he’s boyfriend material. So it’s a “riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma” 🇺🇦 to me why he and Heedo won’t end up together. But this situation isn’t new for veteran kdrama viewers. We […]
Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Mar 18?
For tomorrow, I’m trying my hand at this singang recipe that @Janey showed me last week. Since I’m free in the morning, I can go to the Asian mart to get the ingredients. My grocery list: Knorr tamarind mix. (Look for the 40g packet) radish long beans okra And shrimps with head and skin on […]
2D1N: Ep 115 Mini-Review
I’ve to keep reviewing this so I won’t forget what I watched. I kept a tally of the number of games the Young Boys (YB) team lost and won because it seems like the “Young Blood” lost often. But I think the guys held their own against the Old Boys (OB) team. On this trip, […]
