Move to Heaven: Eps 1 to 5 Open Thread

The thread is now open for comments, analyses, and nuggets of wisdom. It’s the ten-second pitch that sold me on this kdrama rather than the visuals of the actors. Facing the garbage…errr…the personal effects left by the deceased, the hero humbly introduces himself, “My name is Han Geuru from “Move to Heaven.” I’m here to […]

Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 4 Flash Review

The great thing about being a self-avowed bitch is that I don’t have to agree with the general viewing public or the scriptwriter. I can observe their mindsets, idiosyncrasies and prejudices, and draw my own conclusions. Thank you very much.

Bossam: Eps 3 & 4 Review

I could only name a handful of movies where a child played Cupid and found a partner for his single parent: “The Parent Trap” (1998), “Sleepless in Seattle” (1993), and “The Sound of Music” (1965).

Gifs from runnyeggsnham’s tumblr credit: runnyeggsnham Some of these gifs remind me of “Goblin.” Like the beach scene, obviously. source: soompi The inescapable death. And the yin-yang element. Park BoYoung and Seo InGuk were on the bed, back-to-back, but I’m guessing that the image is […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

To all the confused, weary, harassed, stressed-out, working, stay-at-home, quarantined moms out here, please have a seat… and savor the moment. Because our book of life remains unfinished, sometimes it’s difficult to see that these topsy-turvy days of motherhood will make for a most riveting plot twist, and create our best chapters. So sit down for […]

Bossam: Steal Your Fate: First Impressions

Casting aside her royal lineage, Princess SooKyung and her man BaWoo should dovetail together like a mortise and tenon. She’s virtuous; he’s dodgy. She’s a widow; he’s a man whose wife ran away with his best friend. She’s childless; he has a son pining for a mom. She wears white; he wears shades of black. […]
