Many of the old-timers on this blog know that one of my pet peeves is the pretentious use of the word “cinematography” to mean “panorama.” The kdrama “Mr. Sunshine comes to mind. It was mind-blowing how many fans raved about the cinematography when all they were really impressed about was the wide-angle shot used to […]

Vincenzo: Open Thread, Part 5
It’s the final week! Vincenzo: Open Thread Vincenzo: Open Thread, Part 2 Vincenzo: Open Thread, Part 3 Vincenzo: Open Thread, Part 4 Counting down to the last two episodes of Vincenzo reminds me of that nursery rhyme, “Ten Little Indians,” immortalized in an Agatha Christie mystery. In the book, ten characters were murdered one by […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 2 The Songs
I seldom pay attention the OST (Original Soundtrack) unless the song is catchy, and I feel the need to gather all the OSTs in one thread. With this drama, however, I’ve no choice but to take a close look at the songs because the very title itself of the drama implies that the playlist is […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 2 The Dinner
Another old post uploaded. It’s unfortunate that because of the WG lurking in our blog and harassing our members on Twitter, Instagram and FB, I couldn’t post some of the commentaries made in the original thread. But oh well. Protecting our original members is our first priority. Remember now: our first rewatch is on Saturday, […]
Protected: You Are My Hero: Move Over Yang Yang!
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Throwback Thursday: HP Ep 2 The Additional Doctors
These were my crib notes after Episode 2 was shown last year. Feel free to skip this post. But I found it fun re-reading this because: a. as early as Episode 2, I suggested that Capt Ahn might have a crush on Songhwa. b. as early as Episode 2, my dislike Jang was growing. I […]
Throwback Thursday: HP Episode 2 On the Husband Search
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.

The time of our HP rewatch is still to be determined, but most likely we’ll take over the […]
