The ending was another thing that the fangirls of Ryu Joon Yeol, and shippers of JungHyun-Deoksun made a big stink about. Unwilling to accept the ending, they claimed that the writer changed the OTP (One True Pair) at the last minute. Their assertion is pure sour grapes and blatantly false. There were plenty of signs […]
Bitches’ Top Idol-Actors of 2019
It’s the end of the year so I’m reorganizing my top four idol-actor of 2019. I have two open slots. Bitch Talk: List of Top Idol-Actors Im Siwan of ZE:A and Do Kyungsoo of EXO are in. They’re my non-negotiables. Ok Taekyeon (sorry, kiddo!) and Yoon DoJoon (sniff! sorry!) are out for now. I’m planning […]
Reply 1988: Ep 2 Who Stole the Chocolate?
Aside from the mystery of the husband, the other mystery in this drama was who stole the chocolate in Episode 2. JungBong, the older brother of JungHwan, stole the chocolate. As usual, when I told the folks at soompi the answer, the stupid (come and get meeee!) fangirls of Ryu Joon Yeol and shippers of […]
Extra-Ordinary You: Wrap-Up Trivia
I like the thought that the two actors talked before the filming, and agreed to do something together as couple. In effect, it made their heart gestures more of a “couple item” because even when they were just doing the “half heart” sign, they were really showing their unity since they decided on this beforehand […]
Love with Flaws: Eps 1 & 2 First (and Last) Impressions
Unlike almost all of you, I didn’t have the advantage of growing up with Asian dramas and American soap operas for the simple reason that – gasp! – they didn’t exist back then. So when I began watching Asian dramas, I had to deal with, not only the alien-ness of the culture I was watching, […]
Hotel del Luna: The Moon Flower
🙂 I thought I was done reviewing Hotel del Luna but occasionally I get new comments which I think I should answer. Here’s one from @jun. Just finished watching the series last night with my wife and we were flabbergasted and a bit disappointed with the ending. Because of their preoccupation with death, the Hong […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 16 Swoonworthy Moment: To Agdr03
I might forget this so I’m posting these gifs now. Later when we’re doing the re-watch, I’ll just pull them up and repost them. For many viewers, one of things adorable about DanOh was that she was unafraid to initiate skinship. Take for instance their kiss in the library in the last episode (Ch 31 […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m thankful to all my friends here on this blog — and the lurkers (I see you!!) — and all the dramas (both in reel and real life) that we’ve shared. Thanks for making Bitchesoverdramas fun, silly, snooty, angry, catty, perverted, cantankerous, cheerful, nonsensical and thought-provoking all at the same time. I thought that I’d […]
Bitch Talk: What are You Watching During the Holidays?
I don’t recommend binge-watching during the holidays because this is precious time to be spent with loved ones. However, if you’re like me and you need downtime from your brothers’ constant jokes about your disastrous dates in high school and other life mishaps, then here’s what I would binge-watch. 1. Love O2O lol. Of course. […]
Extra-ordinary You: Fangirling Lee Jae Wook
By special request. I hope he’ll soon be the leading man of his own romcom. No more love triangles, okay, dude? You’re giving me angina. Hey…what’s this, “I’ll Go To You When The Weather Is Nice” with Seo Kang Joon? NOOOoooo. I’ll definitely probably watch and review it here in this blog. I found these […]
Reply 1988: Episode 1 Rewatch 2019 with @agdr03
Before all the drama and fanwars about the husband-guessing game, there was the focus on the family. In this episode, I thought the title of the series, “Answer Me 1988” or “Reply 1988” was neatly introduced. To me, the title meant three things. A. The narrator (aka Deoksun) was wondering if she could travel back […]
Psychopath Diary: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
You know me: I can’t resist blogging about a kdrama that I find funny. Despite its dark subject, Psychopath’s Diary is funny for a few reasons. 1. It turns the trope of the “Birth of Superheroes” upside down. Superheroes always have a creation myth to explain how they gained their power to fight crime. Many […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 9 Swoonworthy Moment: To Agdr03
Yoohooo, @agdr03! It’s safe to watch this show now. If you watch it, you’ll be reminded of high school moments like this one. This is from Episode 7 (Ch 14 at 20:10). Gif credit: Lee Taeri’s tumblr. THE GIRL walks home after school and she spots the “love of her life” talking to other guys animatedly […]
Extra-ordinary You: On the Butterfly Effect
It bugs me that the main takeaway of many viewers about the “butterfly effect” is the dumbed down version of the theory, and therefore, an incomplete understanding. Since we aim to be smart bitches on this blog, and not mere adoring fans of Rowoon Oppa! (snort), let’s take 6:28 minutes to know the real deal […]
