Good news, Yang Yang fans. He’s starring in a new project with Zhao Lusi (aka Rosie Zhao). Title of the drama is “Who Rules the World.” Thanks, @agdr03, for updating us on Yang Yang’s latest project. Zhao Lusi was the female lead in “Dating in the Kitchen.” Remind me to finish this drama, willya?? gifs […]
Takane and Hana: Episode 2
Here’s my Episode 2 review for my silent readers since I know they’re patiently waiting for this ****************** Things I liked about this episode: 1. Hana and Takane served as “foils” to each other. I don’t know (and I really don’t care) how the word “foil” is used in a literary sense. When I say […]
Reply 1988: Ep 14 On Liking Someone Just Because
This is an 1800-word excerpt of a Reply 1988 post I wrote in another forum. (I know, right? An excerpt with *only* 1800 words? How long was the original piece? Was I drinking-and-writing?) I’m calling our attention to it because I think the writer shared her outlook on love. Young Deoksun was feeling down-in-dumps. First, […]
Sisyphus: @GB on Sigma’s Clairvoyance
In another thread, I commented: Kindness. After Taesul rescued Seonhae from her drug-induced coma in Ep 11/12, he told Mr Park that his life flashed before him and that after the experience, he felt like he should live kindly. As a child, Sigma set great store by his artwork. He thought drawing was his superpower […]
Sisyphus: Eps 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is now open for…resolutions and conclusions. I also want this drama to end strong. And by “strong”, I’m not referring to the fight scenes, but the romance department. I want Taesul to look hot and sexy, not cute and cheeky. credit: yesdramas’ tumblr No open-endings, please! After all the bloopers and Easter bananas, […]
Hello, Me: Eps 15 & 16 Open Thread
It’s the end of the run of this “healing” kdrama. I never quite understood what people meant by a “healing drama.” But for this kdrama, I think “healing” means to find a new life that will restore function and meaning to a once-shattered life. Young Hani’s growing years were cut short when, in a moment […]
Sisyphus: Easter Bananas, part 2
Remember when I made a partial list of the bloopers and Easter bananas? Like, the multiple bananas in Episode 2, the stand fan suddenly appearing in Episode 4, the lotto ticket in Episode 4, the ceramic prop showing up in Episode 6, the different purses of Seohae in Episode 7, and the different wedding photos […]
Sisyphus: Ep 14 @Robert’s Question and Sigma’s Future
Robert asked: I was wondering how did sigma get his scar on the neck if seo hae was supposed to be dead in the past? She said that she was suppose to get shot in the hospital right? Robert, It’s okay to wonder how Sigma got the scar since he himself couldn’t remember anymore the […]
Hello, Me: Eps 13 & 14 @Welmaris’ Comments
I’m going to answer you here, @Welmaris so it’s easier for me to find this in the future. Episodes of this drama continue to get better and better, which is refreshing because some dramas lose momentum and sputter to a finish. I think the strength of this kdrama is the human element. While it’s expected […]

River Where the Moon Rises: Episode 14 Quick Takes
If you’re uninterested in the palace politics like me, then Episode 14 is a good time to check out the lay of the land. We’re seeing the true motivations of the characters and the final shift in strategic alliances. Here is where things stand and begin to fall apart: 1. On Dal’s Sunno tribe won […]
Happy Easter!
As much as I like to watch kdramas (and doramas and Chinese dramas with 24 episodes or less), there’s only ONE story that I never get tired of hearing or recounting. Can you guess which one? No, it’s not “Start-Up” although I look forward to our re-watches. It’s not “Reply 1988” although I probably wrote […]
Sisyphus: Eps 11 & 12 Review
Without further ado. A. Mr. Park He has a doppelganger who’s still alive. If Sigma arrived in 2001, and Mr Park was one in that group of first time-travelers, then Mr. Park arrived around 2001, too. That means he’s been avoiding his doppelganger for 20 years. 1. I like that SeoHae took him to task […]
