Heavenly Ever After: Ep 1 The State of the Union
This first episode lends itself to discussion on the meaning of a happy marriage. For BODers, this episode is up our alley since most of us are married. We learn that female lead, HaeSook (HS), has been taking care of her paraplegic husband for practically all their married life. Sixty years. We can romanticize the […]
What Are We Watching in May 2025?
I’m still on board “The Haunted Palace” and “Heavenly Ever After” kdramas. “The Haunted Palace” has four elements that I look for, that was missing in that cdrama, “Demon’s Hunter Romance,” namely, an evolving but charming male lead (As much as I like Ren Allen’s acting, I’m so over his repertoire of stoic characters!) a […]

The Haunted Palace: Eps 3 & 4 My Notes
I had briefly paused this drama to check out the hype about that Chinese drama, “The Demon Hunter’s Romance” (TDHR). But after skimming through 25 episodes of TDHR, I was once again reminded of the primary reason I avoided Cdramas like the plague: the low return of investment. Cdramas almost always have a compelling start. […]
The Haunted Palace: Eps 1 and 2 First Impressions
As much as I enjoyed these two episodes, I have a few pet peeves that I need to get off my chest. Spoilers abound. A. The editing Since we aren’t film majors in this blog, I’ll give a basic definition of my understanding of film editing. Editing is the process of selecting, cutting, combining and […]
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! I’m quoting the Easter sermon of St. John Chrysostom, circa 400 AD. Are there any who are devout lovers of God? Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival! Are there any who are grateful servants? Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord! Are there any weary with fasting? Let […]

What Are We Watching in April 2025?
I’m currently watching two dramas: “Undercover High School.” I’m on Episode 6 and so far, the story is entertaining me. Who has finished this? I have a question to ask. “Hello. Nice to Meet You. Let’s Get Divorced.” This is a Japanese series and as usual, the eccentricity of the plot, characters and acting both […]
