Update: 9/29/2020. @Table122000, that scene with Lu Jin reading in the sunlight reminded me of a Vermeer masterpiece. Woman in Blue Reading a Letter (1662–65) source: Wikimedia Commons As you probably know, Vermeer loved to play with light to capture the “feel” of the moment. We know that it’s a fleeting moment, that is, the […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 9, Part 1
This episode reminds me of a haiku. It’s pithy, and the ending is unexpected. I chose four haikus from the famous poet Basho which I’ll be revising for my (evil) purposes. lol. What quietness! Penetrating the rocks, The voices of cicadas! An old pond, A frog jumps in, The sound of water. Spring is passing. […]

Zombie Detective: First Impressions and Open Thread
The humor in this comedy drama is so witty I almost died laughing. Starring drop-dead gorgeous Choi Jin Hyuk (“Pride and Prejudice” and “Devilish Charm”) and Park Joo-Hyun (the dead friend in “A Piece of Your Mind”), the first four episodes show Choi’s character transform from an amnesiac zombie into an undead detective. He awoke […]

Here we go again. 1. Why did the Assassin Ju Hae Min leave the bloody graffiti? On the surface, it looked as if the graffiti served as a warning that the time travel Prof Taeyi would discover would lead to deaths. She had to be stopped and killed so she wouldn’t open the Pandora’s box […]

Alice: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers, discussion and theories. I usually dislike second female leads who are crazily head over heels in love with the hero.

Dating in the Kitchen: First Impressions and Open Thread
Bad news first. Here are my four reasons to avoid this Cdrama. 1. The age gap between the actors is 19 years. The actor Shen Lin is 39 years old while Rosy Zhao (aka Lu Si Zhao) is turning 22 in November. They play characters who are similar to their real ages. She begins as […]

Alice: Eps 5 and 6 Questions and Answers
1. Who’s the new assassin? Well, he’s a physicist too like Prof Taeyi. He time-travelled to 2020 and bumped his old self. Because of his expertise and fascination with Schrodinger’s box, he was able to make a replica of one. That’s how he was able to write the formulae on Prof Taeyi’s wall. In case, […]

School Nurse Files: Save-the-Date Friday, Sept 25
All six episodes will be released on Friday, Sept 25. I assume however that this is going to be a two-season kdrama like “Kingdom.” They’ll show the first 6-episode series this year, all at once on the same day, then release the next 6-episode series sometime next year IF the first series garners positive ratings. […]
Maiden Holmes: Episode 1 First Impressions
Hello, Police? I want to report a murder. The writer just killed my Happy Ending. Can you arrest her? To avoid being disappointed with this Cdrama like I was with “The Heiress,” I waited for the reports to come in before recommending this one. Yes! We have a Happy Ending for this drama. Here are […]
