Agdr03 and I are doing a rewatch of Episode 8 tomorrow morning at 6:30am EST. Feel free to join us. 🙂 @agdr03, I’m deleting old screenshots. But since we’ve commented on how much we like Ji Heng’s costumes, I’ll slowly transfer some of the pix here. lol. This serves a dual purpose anyway: not only am […]
When the Weather is Nice: Episode 4
Without further ado. 1. Book club reading There were three excerpts in this episode. First was a little poem. “A Little Love Song” by Hwang Tong Gyu I received a letter that froze our yesterday into a still frame. The path on which I used to follow you every day is now gone. And other […]
The King: On Kim Eun Sook
One of the things I want us bitches to distinguish ourselves from other forums is our ability to critique a drama without getting personal. There’s already enough “makjang” (or soap opera-ish emotions) going on in kdramas without us having to engage in histrionics of soap operatic proportions in our discussions as well. Wenchanteur had this […]
The King: More Plot Details
Table122000 posted some glad tidings for the Lee MinHo fans (self-professed or not) among us: Found this article at Soompi. I thought the drama was supposed to be about fighting supernatural forces, but I guess not from the info given here. I was also hoping for 2 separate lovelines and no sad endings. Now, not […]
When the Weather is Nice: Episode 3
My thoughts. 1. The Poem Haewon was reading again from the book “The Person I Love.” She selected the poem, “To the Daffodil,” but the first lines, “Don’t cry. To be lonely is to be human,” made her remember Eunsub reading this same poem in class back in high school. Excited, she went down to […]
Dr. Cutie: Eps 2 – 5 Open Thread
Agdr03 and I are doing an impromptu rewatch today, March 6, at 6:30 EST. We’ll watch with Episode 4 no. Episode 2 no. Episode 4 🙂 together and jot down our (fangirling!) reactions as we go along. Feel free to join us. But please leave your profound thoughts at the door. Just come with your […]
Dr. Cutie: Episode 22, part 2
To continue… 6. A note on the wrist-grabs I’ve to admit that there are times when I’m watching a drama, I imagine myself reacting for the female lead. Take for instance, when Ji Heng grabbed Tian Qi by the elbow and told her, “I’m not done. You aren’t allowed to go anywhere.” If I had […]
Dr. Cutie: Episode 22, part 1
I’m not embarrassed to say that this episode made me feel like a giggly twentysomething again. If I’ve to pick my top three episodes in this Cdrama, this one will definitely be on the list. I’ll have to do two parts because of the pictures. My highlights. 1. Parrying Ji Zheng’s request Typically, I would […]
Bitch Talk: The Continuing Saga of the American Girl and the Korean Boy
Remember Carson and Hyunho? I wrote about them here and here. I don’t follow infomercials on Youtube except for this one done by ODG, a clothing company. At first, I liked the concept because it featured two cute children getting to know each other. But I like this latest addition because it showed the funny cultural […]
When the Weather is Nice: Episode 2
Pardon me for being a slow-top lately. I finally got why these first two episodes have been excruciatingly slow for me. It’s because the slow-moving pictures imitate the tone and cadence of a melancholic poem. 1. The Poems Here are the two poems in this episode. The first one was deliberately omitted in the Viki […]
Dr. Cutie: Eps 25 – 28 Open Thread
The finale! I found some gifs. 1. From luzhaoyao’s tumblr 2. dudeireallylovedramas’ tumblr 3. knights-in-whumperland’s tumblr I must say…this is a first for me. She actually stabbed him. gasp. 4. movielosophy’s tumblr
The King: Lee MinHo’s Trailer is Out
Do you know why I’m hyping up this drama? It’s so when I’m disappointed with the drama later, I know that my enthusiasm for it was all bogus anyway. Welcome to Cynical Island. Population: 1. (just me) Here’s the Youtube trailer: Here’s the instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SBS (@sbsnow_insta) […]
When the Weather is Nice: Ep 1 First Impressions
Ep 1 Title: The Wind Blowing through a Willow Tree Opening scene: a young man leisurely makes coffee for himself. He looks outside the window at a tree shedding leaves. Next, a woman walks down an empty road with her rolling luggage. She receives a phone call from a “Headmaster” and disconnects it. She stops […]
Dr. Cutie: Episode 21
My favorite moments. 1. Her bed He summoned Tian Qi to his quarters and instead of waiting for her at his usual place behind his desk, he was sitting on her bed. He must have remembered crying over her, in that very spot, after she said goodbye three nights ago. And he chose that spot […]
