This might be the only drama blog that’s advocating JOMO or the “Joy of Missing Out.” It’s okay not to watch all the interesting dramas out there. I’d like it if you didn’t binge-read my archived posts. I want you to go out and spend time with families and friends. Enjoy Autumn; catch some leaves; […]

Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 8 The Love Triangle
What’s the point of a love triangle? Well, for one, there’s binary opposition. The fact is we understand a character better when he/she is compared with another character. In his pursuit of his end goals or the love of his life, the hero’s spirit and mettle will stand out in sharp relief against the contrasting […]

Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 8 Ha Ram’s Confession
This commentary is part of a long thread I plan to write on the Love Triangle. I’ll have to post in segments because I want to watch other dramas, too. Now, this is MY interpretation of the events. If you don’t like it, that’s your problem, NOT mine. Just move along. I’m using the Viki […]
Bitch Talk: On TMIs
TMI stands for “too much information.” I’m not a person who has FOMO or fear of missing out. I’ve the opposite: JOMO or joy of missing out. When a drama pushes TMI on me, I don’t know what to do. Here are the dramas that have rendered me speechless. 1. “My Husband Does Not Fit” […]

You Are My Glory: Ep 2 Highlights
This episode has lots of things to unpack but I’ll limit myself to 5 bullet points. Anyway, you’re better off watching the short 30-minute episode than reading anything longer than 5 bullet points, anyway. • Yu Tu as female repellent. If JingJing (JJ) had been planning on keeping her gender secret from her newly acquired […]
Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 7 On the Reunion
As wonderful as Prince Yul is, the episode’s title, “The Reunion,” could only mean the reunion between Ha Ram and CheongKi that the Samshin initiated. The headmaster gave CheongKi the Tiger painting to give to Prince YangMyeong (aka Prince3 and Prince Yul) for granting her wish to obtain medicine for her father. Headmaster: Grand Prince […]
Yumi’s Cells: Ep 4 Highlights
Things that I like: 1. Woong’s Brain Cells have an algorithm. Being a programmer, he’s used to flowcharts where he can evaluate his options given his specific situation and come up with the best decision. But I also like that his brain cells can override his logical answer, like when he decided that it was […]
GO Into Your Heart: Ep 2 Highlights
It’s been hard for me to write highlights for Chinese dramas because I can’t seem to get in the proper frame of mind. Work becomes brutal when you encounter gross incompetency at the highest echelons on a daily basis. So let me try this instead…. I’ll pretend that I’m writing for the daughter that I […]
Just Bitching: Naked Torsos Alert
Before I begin, here’s my obligatory post on shower scenes. It tells you where I stand on this issue. Just Bitching: The Obligatory Post on Shower Scenes I can’t find my post where I mentioned that lesser-known male actors can’t stipulate “no nudity” clauses in their contracts. Sex sells. There are enough viewers who get […]
