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 […]

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” […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]
