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 […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 7
And so it starts. A. “Calm and collected” Nanase: In the end, it’s just me. Ryuko: Tell me what’s going on? Nanase: I’m the only one who gets upset, jealous and depressed. I can’t do anything right. And he always stays so calm and collected. The kissasian version had Nanase saying, “Being shocked on my […]
Flower of Evil: Ep 8 Response to @Arihsi’s Comments
Arihsi, you raised good points. Let me answer you here so it’s easy for me to remember what I wrote. I still don’t think he has ASD 🙂 we’ll have to see what he endured as a child to be sure. But couple of things jump at me. I agree. By Episode 8, I’m seeing […]

Flower of Evil: Ep 7 Subject to Interpretation
There are scenes in Episode 7 which can be perceived or understood in different ways. These are my interpretations. You don’t have to agree with them. A. Ep 7, 50:01 Noona made a notch on the tree. Noona: If you grow this much, I’ll find mom for you. Look. If you want to grow this […]
Bitch Talk: What Happened, Soompi?
I heard there was a disturbance in the Force over at Soompi: a mass exodus of moderators and administrators. Fill me in, please. Nrllee? 🙂 Seriously. I hope my old friends are fine. And wherever they are, I support them and their new ventures — as long as they’re not doing anything illegal, criminal, and […]

Love Lasts Forever: Ep 7 On Crying Alone
This is the second half of the jealousy saga. I said that Episode 6 was about Nanase’s jealousy, and Episode 7 was about Tendo’s. She started feeling insecure when she heard Dr. Rokuru and the head nurse discussing how Tendo and Waka worked well together as a team. Waka was like her dead sister, Midori. […]
Cuties: Heck no, Netflix!
And this is why I’m an Asian-wannabe, and watch kdramas, doramas, and Cdramas, instead of Hollywood-produced and Hollywood-approved shows. Who the heck at Netflix headquarters gave this project the green-light? . From Hollywood Reporter: Eleven-year-old Amy lives with her mom, Mariam, and younger brother, awaiting her father to rejoin the family from Senegal. Amy is […]
Love Lasts Forever: Episode 6
I was in two minds whether to write a review of Episode 6 by itself or in tandem with Episode 7 since the subject of both episodes is jealousy. Episode 6 focuses on Nanase’s jealousy which is obvious and comical. I do love how the actress portrays her character. Her facial gesture and body movements, […]

The Heiress: Eps 1 to 4 First Impressions
I recommend this historical Chinese romcom. @HEHarry, where are you? If you dislike Cdramas where the romance of the minor characters is given as many minutes as the lead couples, then you’ll like this one. The first four episodes are focused entirely on the female lead and two men who are vying for her support […]
