I’m watching this kdrama for the make-up tutorials. I’m not watching this for: • Park BoGum (that baduk guy Taec from “Reply 1988”), • Park So Dam (before her fame due to “Parasite,” she was in “Cinderella and the Four Princes” and “A Beautiful Mind” — I watched her in those and I like her), […]

Do You Like Brahms: Ep 1 First Impressions
First things first. 1. We all understood the reason for the title of the kdrama, right? Park Joon Young: By the way, what kind of exam do you have to take to get into Kyunghoon Cultural Foundation? Chae Song Ah: We had to write a proposal for a chamber music performance. I wrote about a […]
Alice: Ep 3 Quick Takes
I’m having “The King: Eternal Monarch” post-drama/post-traumatic flashbacks with the math and people switching places with their original selves. While waiting for Episode 4, here’s my take on Episode 3. 1. Who’s this man? Well, he has the book now. He’s the unidentified guy running away here. No… I don’t think Officer Go was chasing […]
The Heiress: ABORT MISSION!
I just read that the ending isn’t happy. It’s a disaster. Don’t proceed. Nope. Don’t watch the ending. But if you want to take one for the team, watch it and spoil it for us. lol.
Alice: The Book of Prophesy
I view the “Book of Prophesy” like a message in the bottle. To avoid all these washed up bottles of prophesy littering the pristine shores (ha!) of my brain, I’m going to compile the passages here as they come. Episode 1 1. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur Clarke This is […]
Alice: Eps 1 and 2 First Impressions
Before I start with my theories, here are the characters: Heroine: Yoon TaeYi (TY) alias Park Sun Young Her Significant Other: Yoo Min Hyuk (MH) Her son: Park Jin Gyum (JG) Alice: the name of the corporation that offers a time travel “tourism.” The employees of Alice, like MH, acted as “tour guides.” They escorted […]

For agdr03 and the others, Here are some subs that I found of the behind-the-scenes interaction between Tekaru and Mone. I extend my deepest fangirling gratitude to @_takemone_ for the translations.

Flower of Evil: Ep 11 Open Thread
I heard there’s only going to be one episode this week because production was temporarily suspended late August after the resurgence of the coronavirus in South Korea. Safety and good health come first. I’ll have time to watch Eps 9, 10, and 11 as soon as things settle down in my neck of the woods. […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 8
It’s inevitable for viewers to breeze through this episode because there were plenty of couple moments to send heart fluttering, like — • the “I’m not dating you because I want you take care of me,” confession with the head massage • the flattened rice ball cooked using her brand-new rice cooker, • the “Appreciation Day” […]

Flower of Evil: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open for spoilers, analysis, rants and raves. Let’s enjoy the show! Things I want to know: 1. Why was the village chief killed? Did noona really kill him in an altercation re the shaman exorcism for Hyunsoo or did she kill him because he tried to molest her? Or was the Mystery […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 7, part 2
You’re so spoiled. Why do I feel like Tendo giving in to you, the Nanases of the blog? C. Her clumsiness? Nanase: [Moiri] is so pretty and talented. Everybody could easily see. Me, on the other hand, I’m slow at work, I get drunk easily and I fall asleep all the time. I’m not good […]
