I know it’s Friday today, so this should have been a “Throwback Friday.” But whatever. I get to make the rules up here anyway. I’m posting a couple of my write-ups for Episode 2 today so I won’t inundate you with five next week. When the drama started last year, some people thought that it […]
Start-Up: Ep 15 Rewatch Saturday, April 24
Can I just say that I’m satisfied with the pacing of this drama? Other romcoms will put off the happily-ever-after (HEA) till the last episode leaving the viewers rushed and unsatisfied. With “Start-Up” however, we have the couple reunited in this Episode 15, and everything that happens in Episode 16 is like an epilogue, wrapping […]
Throwback Thursday: Hospital Playlist: Another Catholic Drama
Hindsight is always 20/20. I should have known that the writer and director would make JW ditch his faith. As early as Episode 1, I was already pointing out the soft anti-Catholic bigotry of this drama. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Another Catholic Drama In a scale of 1 to 10, what pisses me off to a high of 9.99 […]
Hospital Playlist: Heads-up for HP Rewatch/Throwback Thursday
Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 8th. After the “Start-Up” rewatch ends on Saturday, May 1, we’re beginning our series of Flower Garden’s rewatch for “Hospital Playlist” in preparation for season 2 premier on Thursday, June 17. The time of our HP rewatch is still to be determined, but most likely we’ll take over the […]

Navillera: Episode 1 First Impressions
I mistakenly thought the title “Navillera” was Spanish in origin, but it was apparently a word coined by a Korean poet. Here’s what I found on the internet. (Note: The only edit I made was replacing the word “tonsure” for “cowl.”) … “Navi” (or Nabi – b and v are not distinguished in Korean) means […]
Bitch Talk: “Psycho But It’s Okay” meets “Mr Queen”
As Mark Twain said, truth is stranger than fiction. I saw news about “Mr. Queen” actor Kim JungHyun and his ex-girlfriend, “Psycho But It’s Okay” actress Seo SeJin. I couldn’t make head or tail of it because it also involved other female costars of Kim Jung Hyun, namely Seohyun from “Time” and the “other” Seo, […]
Bitch Talk: Should We Watch These in April 2021?
I skipped March 2021 because we were booked. Now that “Sisyphus” and “Hello, Me!” have ended, and “River Where the Moon Rises” and “Vincenzo” are also going to end this month, I’ve an opening in my drama watching schedule. I already crossed out “Law School” and “Undercover” because they’re my “third rail.” I get electrocuted […]
In-House Marriage Honey: The Pea Problem
“In-house Marriage Honey” is what I call a “Princess and the Pea” drama. From the looks of it, INMH is cute and fluffy like a bed piled with 20 feathered quilts. When you sleep on it though, you discover that it’s an uncomfortable bed. Something is niggling at you and you can’t tell why. Only […]
Sisyphus: Ep 16 My Final Take
This is my take. Don’t worry if it doesn’t jibe with yours. We can have different interpretations of the ending. 1. The Sisyphean loop is over. Taesul and Seohae got the happy ending they wanted. Sigma got the fanboy ending he deserved. 2. Their lives were reset when Taesul activated the “kill switch.” His suicide […]
