Once again, I’m impressed with the wit of the writer of this kdrama. Even the titles are witty — Episode 9 is “There are No Bad Zombies in This World.” Episode 10 is “The Secret of Birth.” 1. The titles On one hand, the titles can be interpreted literally. But they actually provide a tongue-in-cheek […]

Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol: Ep 4 Highlights
I’m reposting what I’d written in the Open Threads. 1. Team Jun or Team Doc? Of course, I’m Team Jun. But I get why both men are suspicious of each other. To Jun, the Doc is a dubious character because of 1) his interest in Rara, and 2) his interest in him. Jun thinks the […]

Thanks, @JT7. These are her notes. I’m just adding screenshots and some comments here and there. ************** I did a quick rewatch of certain parts while folding the laundry.

Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol: Ep 3 Highlights
In a nutshell, Eps 3 and 4 were a delight to watch. I didn’t see a scene in either episode that needed a tweak or rewrite. This is the romcom that I need nowadays. I’m reposting some of my comments on the Episode 3 Open Thread here. Although the scenes are self-explanatory, I’m writing them […]

Alice: Eps 11 and 12 Questions and Answers; Grade
1. Why am I still watching this? Because I wanted to know who this “Teacher” was. 2. Who’s the “Teacher”? It was the Catholic guy. In Kdrama, every time there’s a Catholic guy among the suspects, the Catholic guy is the bad guy. This anti-Catholic bias is insidious in kdramas, and pop culture. And I’m […]

Tale of the Nine-Tailed: Ep 1 First Impressions
I’m not going to lie about this: Episode 1 was a “Goblin” deja-vu. Let me list down the scenes and ideas this drama ripped off from “Goblin.” I’ll limit myself to 15. 1. Jiah’s parents meet a car accident with no one in sight. Euntak’s mom meets a car accident with no witnesses. 2. Male […]
