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, […]
Flower of Evil: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread and GB’s Timeline
This is @Growing_Beautifully’s timeline to help us understand the sequence of events and the flashbacks. Thanks, @GB. I’ll just add pictures and comments. *************** Timeline from Ep 1 – 6 (Ep 6, Timestamp 02:50) Presumably before HS’s father died. While unconscious, Hyun Soo thinks of his sister and how he showed her a metal deer […]
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 […]

You Are My Glory: Starring Yang Yang and ….??
Zheng Shuang????!! Let me tease you. The screenwriter is by Gu Man, the lady who wrote “Love O2O” and “Boss and Me.” This Cdrama is an adaptation of her novel also titled, “You are My Glory.” I guess that means a kind soul mycan buy the book, translate it, and share the contents with us. […]
Flower of Evil: Lee JoonKi and the Kuleshov Effect
This is the Vocab of the Day: the Kuleshov Effect. lol. I was reading this article from soompi on Lee JoonGi’s acting in “Flower of Evil” when that term popped up in my head. I’ll quote the text so you don’t have to go to soompi, and highlight the two segments that I found interesting. […]
Flower of Evil: On Flashbacks
One of the things that stands out for me in this drama is the use of flashbacks. I’ve mixed feelings about this. Too often, the director and editor abuse them by either overdoing the flashbacks to fill in extra minutes, or slipping them in to plug up a plothole. Either way, the overuse of flashback […]
Bitch Talk: @Table122000’s Jdrama Recommendations
After “Love Lasts Forever,” many of us here are searching for more doramas to binge on to get over Nanase and Tendo. So here comes @Table122000 aka Supergirl with her dorama recommendations. That’s our @Table12000…she’s building a bridge between our kdrama obsession and our newly-discovered world of doramas. I don’t know how the links will […]
Love Lasts Forever: KoiTsudu vs Itazura
Note: this is unfinished. I’ll have to edit to add pictures, but I don’t have my other laptop with me. Many viewers like to point out that LLF (or “KoiTsudu” as it’s called by fans) is similar to “Itazura na Kiss” and I say yes and no. There’s no doubt that the two doramas use […]
