Notables moments. Will limit myself to four. 🙂 1. DaeYeob (DY) I rarely fall for the second male lead (SML) because I know that he’s the built-in antagonist of the hero. If the course of true love never runs smooth, as Shakespeare said, then the SML is the personification of those detours, missed exits, and […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 6 On Dr. Romantic
A whole year later and I still stand by this character analysis. However, as I wrote this after Episode 6, I didn’t have the advantage (like many of you now) of knowing the other delusional things he did later on. Like, how in Ep 12 he proposed to SongHwa, all the while ignoring her awkward […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 5 SongHwa’s First Love
In this old post of mine, I noted that the Songhwa is the complete antithesis of Jang. I would have to be blind not to see how directly opposite they are when many of Songhwa’s best qualities were featured in these past five episodes (NOTE: when I wrote this, only five episodes had been shown). […]

Doom at Your Service: Ep 1 First Impressions, Part 1
Better late than never. Part 1. I like the approach to death in this episode: elegiac. I’ll go over the lines in Episode 1 that are odes to death, and give you my thoughts on them. “It’s glioblastoma. It seems like multiple tumors. The fact that you are dizzy and throwing up Is all because […]

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. When I post (and re-post) these reviews and commentaries, I’m only explaining WHAT I think […]
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). Watching “Bossam” reminded me why I enjoyed those shows. For one, the child ChaDol says the things that the audience […]

Coincidentally, it was released last Thursday, just before our first HP rewatch. The HP producers and I had the same idea. To hype up Season 2, a look back into the past season was in order. But […]
Bitch Talk: On Watching Morbid Kdramas
I’m not sure that watching all these dramas on our schedule is good for the soul. Death seems to be a common thread. Monday/Tuesday: Doom at Your Service Wednesday/Thursday: Sell Your Haunted House Friday/Saturday: Move to Heaven Saturday/Sunday: Bossam If you’re in a crisis, feeling depressed, or having suicidal thoughts, limit or STOP watching all […]
