Happy Lunar New Year!!
Happy Year of the Dragon, everyone! Wishing you all good health, good fortune, good times, good kdramas, and good food! What are you eating for New Year’s? Maybe I can order something similar from the Chinese, Vietnamese, or Korean restaurant near me this weekend. Can somebody tell me what that liquid @kennylsong poured in the […]

Doctor Slump: Ep 4 My Highlights
If I ignore all the legal scenes, I’m fine with this romcom. It reminds me of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” In that well-loved play, Beatrice and Benedick sparred wits until Benedick was tricked into believing that Beatrice secretly loved him. He didn’t know that he was being set up when he overheard three men […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 10 The Courtship
In case some of you are just joining this blog, let me reiterate. One reason this kdrama appeals to me is that it reminds me of a Jane Austen novel. Like an Austenite heroine, SoonDeok has an inner life, that’s reflected in her conversation with herself and relationship with the family members. Though there are […]

Doctor Slump: Ep 3 My Highlights
I’m still on board this kdrama. 1. Why JungWoo hates Nam HaNeul In his own words — JW: Okay, now let me tell you why I started to hate Nam HaNeul. With my gifted brain, I became the top-ranked student in my school, in my region, and in the country. That’s me, Yeo JungWoo. I […]
Marry My Husband: Ep 9 The Highlights
I like this episode because it’s zippy. Having seen all the kdrama tropes and their variations, I appreciate that the director didn’t slow-mo the soulful looks and silent pauses and bore us with details on how JiWon captured the flag during office field trip or managed to get SuMin and herself out of the water. […]

A Shop for Killers: Open Thread
The thread is open. If you want to join @swiss_postscripts in this kdrama, here’s your thread. The show is on Disney+. From @swiss_postscripts: I’m liking Shop for Killers so far. It’s a “coming of age” drama – we’re all in Jian’s shoes – trying to find out exactly who her uncle was, his ecosystem and […]
Marry My Husband: Eps 7 & 8 On Regrets
I know you all are two episodes ahead of me. Hope to catch up soon. 1. The Backstory We’re getting a clearer picture of the connection between the main leads because JiHyuk’s backstory was filled in. We already know that the female lead, Kang JiWon died on April 12, 2023. But on her way to […]
Bitch Talk: On KDramas That Didn’t Age Well
These kdramas and Korean movies aged poorly. I’m not talking merely about their visual effects, but the plot, content, message, and/or actors involved in the project have become unacceptable over time. That’s why Shakespeare rules. Even after four centuries, the Bard’s works endure because his insight into our human existence is timeless, universal, and relevant. […]
