To me, this is underrated; this is overrated; and this is exaggerated. lol. I’ll explain why. SR: I wonder which one is love? Hoping that you’re worrying about me like I am for you and wishing that you’re pining for me like I do for you. Is this love? As she narrates, she walks through […]
Crash Landing on You: On the Utopian North Korea
Now that I got your attention with that title… Only a special kind of stupid would think that this drama is glamorizing the situation in North Korea. I challenge anyone to tell me the episode and the time when the writer of this drama showed North Korea as a utopian society, and I’ll explain the […]

The Koreans have a four-day weekend to celebrate the Lunar New Year. It started yesterday Friday and ends on Monday.

Until recently, I didn’t know that there was a difference between the Chinese New Year […]
Crash Landing on You: Ep 10, JungHyuk’s Squad in Seoul
While I enjoy watching JH’s merry band of brothers, I haven’t written about them much. To correct that oversight, I’ll talk about their first meal in Seoul. The Cast: Chisoo, the grouch Gwangbum, the handsome JooMook, the kdrama specialist EunDong, the youngest or “maknae” in Korean ManBok, the Rat Grouch: What did you get? Maknae: […]
Crash Landing on You: Ep 10, The Mystery Guy
John L wants to know who the mystery man is. I’m also wondering who the mysterious figure is that approached the Rat to go to SK w/ the soldiers to get RJH. I can surmise the following from that brief encounter: One, the mystery man has to be North Korean to gain entrance into the […]
Crash Landing on You: Episode 10, part 1
Ahem. I think a number of you have the wrong idea of me. You think I’m sort of this “Horse Whisperer” — but for kdramas. Just like a horse whisperer interprets horse sound and body language, to some people, I appear to listen to dialogues, watch the scenes, and bond with the story well to […]

Bitch Talk: My Imaginary Daughter’s Boyfriends
If you’ve lurked here long enough, you should know these two truths about me: one, not having a daughter is one of the biggest regrets in my life, and two, I watch a lot of Cdrama that I never finish reviewing. Thanks to my old friend nonski who happened to drop by, I’m now inspired […]
Crash Landing on You: Learning Hangul
I told you that one of my new year’s resolutions was to learn to read Hangul, didn’t I? Well, it came in handy during today’s episode of “Crash Landing on You.” I saw what Seri did here. She used the first syllables of each book to spell out her message. I didn’t need subs to […]
Crash Landing on You: On Dan, Mothers and Squints
I’m responding to @ulanlagi’s comments here so I can access this easily. This Yoon Se Ri character, I love her never-say-die / fearless / can do attitude, which is a total opposite of her mindset when she went to Switzerland. Not once did she say that she will die in NK, but she always spoke […]
Crash Landing on You: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
I’m opening this thread so you can all post your comments, theories, observations, rants, and raves. I don’t mind spoilers…I love them, actually. So if you discover who ordered Seri’s kidnapping, spill the beans here. I originally thought JH’s Dad was behind it. But now, I’m leaning towards Dan because of the “visuals.” One of […]
Crash Landing on You: The Timeline
I’m going to transfer the timeline here for easy access.

That was 12 years ago […]
Crash Landing on You: Trope Alert, part 3
I’m obsessive-compulsive and I’m annoyed with myself that I didn’t finish my trope compilation of Episode 6. The first half is here: Episode 6 And here’s the other half. 1. SungJoon as the resident evil, albeit an illegal resident evil The reason I’m ambivalent about SungJoon is that there’s a guy more depraved than him, Cho […]
