Incoming missile. 1. Deplorable female character A badass, kickass, and smartass female character isn’t an idiot. Not in my book, anyway. I don’t get this writer’s female creation. GuReum is certainly one hell of a street fighter, but she can be frustratingly dense. Who on earth would think it was a brilliant idea to confront […]
Space Sweepers: Review
This movie was engrossing as soon as the opening credits rolled in. Didn’t you wonder why we were greeted “Merry Christmas” in February? Was the production company really named Merry Christmas. Lol. The lead characters were likeable. Special effects were decent. No sex scenes, can you believe that, Hollywood?! This is my review-unlike-other-reviews. 1. Imagery […]

True Beauty: Eps 15 & 16 Finale Open Thread
The thread is now open. In Episode 6, their literature teacher quoted a line from a famous poem that sent the whole class groaning. I held back from expounding about it because I figured if I waited till the end, the poem wouldn’t require any explanation. Just like “The Little Prince” by Saint-Exupery is a […]
L.U.C.A.: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
The thread is now open. Let’s try this one for a few weeks. If we find it disappointing, we can always drop it. Like evolution, our search for a good drama isn’t a linear progression. The task is messy, meandering, time-consuming, and complicated. Some forms of drama will mutate and give rise to new branches […]
Just Bitching: Pet Peeve #2
The drinking culture. One of my biggest pet peeves about kdramas is how the characters, especially the female leads, always end up stupid drunk. If I didn’t know any better, I would think that: a. drinking is part of their work culture 👉 it’s “normal.” b. nothing forms a bonding between acquaintances like drunk-talk 👉 it’s “constructive.” […]
