Marry My Husband: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is open. When BTS became a plot point in a kdrama… source: geellaz’ tumblr Btw, if you’re ready to listen to covers of “Spring Day,” I suggest starting with this pansori version by Song So Hee. Pansori is the traditional Korean folk music, and though I’m not a Korean, I credit her for […]
My Happy Marriage: Open Thread
The thread is open. This is for @Fern who likes this Japanese movie. It’s on Youtube. It’s an hour and 40 minutes long. The comic version is on Netflix. 12 episodes, 24 minutes each. The movie version looks better than the comic version. In the comic version, the heroine aggravated me to no end. She […]
Bitch Talk: On Leading Actors for 2024
I came upon a 2022 list on mydramalist of male and female actors who the author thought “deserve” to have main lead roles after slogging through many supporting roles. By MAIN lead role, the list-creator meant the hero who prevails in the end, and wins the girl’s heart, and not just the hapless “other guy.” […]

My Demon: Eps 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is open. source: romcomedy’s tumblr Trust me. This whole brushing-your-teeth-and-spitting-out-the-toothpaste-together act is only cute in kdramas. Because guess what you have to do next? Floss! Will you floss each other’s teeth, too? Ewww. Plus, once you have double sinks in your master bathroom, you’ll never look at a single sink the same way. […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 3 On the Ssangyeonsulsa
Ep 3 I think I am Ssangyeonsulsa Ssangyeonsulsa = agent of love = Cupid, Joseon-style 1. From “goddess of love” to “agent of love” Back in Episode 1, as JungWoo’s voiceover described what a Ssangyeonsulsa was, we watched SoonDeok’s method of matchmaking up-close. She was tying a Dongsingyeol knot, which in Korean folk art, is […]
Yummy Food, Cool Dude, and Great Editing
I don’t know what sort of algorithm Youtube did, but this guy’s shorts (“short videos” not his underpants, ok?) started appearing on my feed. And now I’m thirsty hungry. I thought I would share his clips with you, @Fern and @agdr03 (and the other foodies on the blog), since you like to cook. Check out […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 2 On Bad Feelings

The reason I am petitioning to invalidate my marriage to the princess is because my inability to take public office […]
The Matchmakers: Episode Titles and My Explanation
Please ignore me. I like this kdrama so I’m paying more attention when my time permits. Methinks, the screenwriter Ha SuJin by such an expert matchmaker herself by the way she entangled the main and secondary characters together in plausible situations. I couldn’t find a supporting character whose screentime could have been eliminated without affecting […]
Knight Flower: Eps 1 to 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. I’m not sure if you will be interested in another period drama set in the Joseon era with a widow as a heroine so soon after “The Matchmakers” but I’m opening this thread anyway. I think “The Matchmakers” is better written but this has three things going for it. One, the […]
Marry My Husband: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. The “Clark Kent” trope source: ingguk’s tumblr The Obligatory Shower Scene. source: ingguk’s tumblr That’s the dorkiest tattoo I’ve ever seen on a guy’s chest. I hope his costars on 2D1N won’t poke fun at him too much for the stick-on tattoo. Let’s enjoy the show.
My Demon: On Bogus Religion, part 2
@GB, I’ll answer you out here. It’s easier. You said, Hi @pkml3, I’m taking meds and resting as well. I’m supposed to be at a half-day event now, but had to bail because of the virus. Before the medication makes me too sleepy, I thought I’d just add my 2 cents. (Now that I’m re-reading […]
