Before I begin, here are the titles of the four episodes. Ep 1 Red Sky Ep 2 The Divine Painter Ep 3 Ma Wang Ep 4 Red String of Fate If you’ve been here on this blog long enough, you’d know all about the superstition regarding the red string of fate. In kdramas, lovers are […]
Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 2 Highlights
Episode 2 gave us a time jump – a full 19 years ahead in the future. ChungGi and Ram are 28 years old and it’s the 28th year of King Seongjo’s reign. Highlights. I have to limit myself to three because I’ve guests coming over for barbecue. Happy Labor Day to my fellow Americans! 1. […]

Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 1 On the Second Prince
Before I start writing on Episode 2, here’s an addendum for Episode 1. link: Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 1 First Impressions 4. The 2nd Prince During the water ritual, the two younger princes (or the “spares”) went off to investigate the painting of the old King. Mawang succeeded in tempting the 2nd Prince to […]
Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 1 First Impressions
Move over, HP2. This is the kdrama that captured my interest. Here are the things I like about Episode 1. 1. The world-building I appreciate the drama giving us the creation myth because I’m not well-versed in Korean mythology. A creation myth is important because it reveals how the characters perceive cause and effect in […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching Sept 2021?
On top of my list is “Lovers of the Red Sky” (LotRS or Red Sky, for short). Next is Yang Yang’s “You Are My Glory” (which is completely subbed by now), followed by “Hometown Cha Cha Cha.” “Hospital Playlist 2” has been moved to the backburner. I would have thrown it in the rubbish pile […]
Hometown Cha Cha Cha: Eps 3 & 4 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers and discussions. lol. Here’s the obligatory gif set of the actor’s shower scene. I guess he hasn’t reached the star level where he could opt out of full/partial nude scenes like Hyun Bin (“Crash Landing on You”) and Lee Min Ho (“The King: Eternal Monarch”). source: yesdramas’ tumblr […]
Hometown Cha Cha Cha: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
Sigh. As I expected, this drama is a healing drama… for the fangirls of the leading actor Kim SeonHo who were crushed that he didn’t get the girl in “Start-Up.” Instead of Hong Doo Shik, the screenwriter should have named his character Jjang Dae Bak since he can do nothing wrong in this drama. Jjang […]

Lovers of the Red Sky: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
Oh dear. Not another love triangle! This is written by the screenwriter of “The Moon Embracing the Sun,” and “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” so we know that the OTP (or “One True Pairing” in kdrama lingo) is already established. Hong Chun Gi (played by Kim YooJun) is a Joseon Era painter. Her leading man is Ha Ram […]
Hospital Playlist 2: Ep 10 On Jang’s Rehabilitation
We knew this was coming, right? ShinLee were going to rehabilitate Jang’s character, give her a dramatic arc that not even the female lead, Songhwa, received, and portray her with such a pitiful backstory that, in the end, she’d be made “worthy” of our sympathies. Hey, ShinLee, nice try but you can’t gaslight us! This […]
