As kisses go, I thought there was nothing exceptional about the technique of their first kiss. source: junghaesin’s tumblr In truth, when I watched the behind-the-scene clip, I smiled at the actors fine-tuning their kiss because of a couple of mishaps. Ha Ram would slide down when he turned to face CheongKi for their kiss. […]
Hometown Cha Cha Cha: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers and discussions. Hey, @Diane! Another “Start-Up” homage lol. Gifs from deokmis’ tumblr: source: deokmis’ tumblr In my humble superior opinion, Nam Joo Hyuk’s scene edged out Kim SunHo’s. Gif from yesdrama’s tumblr: source: yesdrama’s tumblr Chief Hong commented, “I guess someone got the romance going. It’s unnecessarily pretty.” […]
Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 6 The Third Painting
Before I explain the Third Painting, I have to go over Ha Ram and CheongKi’s talk the night before. Edited 9/17/21 to add this: I often simply transcribe Viki subs because I’m a Viki subscriber. But I go to other sites to compare the subs. I find that Kissasian subs are more comprehensible because everyday […]

Hometown Cha Cha Cha: Ep 4 On Friendship and Love
For me, the subject of this episode is friendship or as Dionne Warwick would croon, “That’s what friends are for.” The episode began with a montage of HyeJin and Chief Hong passing each other on their way to work in front of the café of Mr. Singer-wannabe. They obviously became friends after he’d given […]
Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 5 The Meaning of the Butterflies
The painting competition was such an interesting episode, I’m glad the director didn’t speed it up or skimp on details. As for me, however, I’m pressed for time, so I’ll only focus on the judgment. It was obvious as the judges walked towards CheongKi’s painting that it was a crowd-pleaser. Judge2/Headmaster: Number 32 did very […]
Hometown Cha Cha Cha: Ep 3 On Being Self-Centered
A theme is the underlying message of the story. We all know that each episode revolves around a theme. Personally, I don’t like it when the script delivers the message blatantly. For one, it feels patronizing. It’s as if the writer doesn’t expect his viewers to get the message unless a neon sign is flashing, […]
GO Into Your Heart: Eps 1 to 41 Open Thread
Hey, @agdr03 and @Fern, Given how grim-faced I’ve been these past few weeks, I’m delighted to report to you that the first 7 subbed episodes of this Chinese drama had me grinning from ear to ear. I’ve decided to add this to my list of fluffy Cdramas to watch. It ticks the right boxes. 1. […]
9/11: Never Forget, Always Remember
Remembering matters for healing. 9/11/2001 was a tragic day for us here in the US. And it pains me that 20 years later, there are those who are downplaying the tragedy or trashing the memory of that day. This is a twitter thread by @BenFranklinMD1 to help us remember. Ben Franklin, M.D. @BenFranklinMD1 ThreadThreadThread I […]
Lovers of the Red Sky: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers and discussion. Note: Ha Ram’s instincts to protect her were there from the start because he was the one appointed to walk with her on her journey. When she was born, Samshin said to her, “To think that he made you blind. Then again, Mawang has always been […]
You Are My Glory: Ep 1 Highlights
My advice if you’re watching this Cdrama for the first time is to just breeze through these first few episodes and rewatch them later. If you’re like me, all the characters’ names and faces, not to mention the video game slang went whoosh over my head. The drama opened with Yu Tu sitting in a […]
