I was asked by my good friends, @lovebangwon and @mslee1107 to give my “first impressions” of this kdrama. Since I’m not interested in melodrama, this will serve as my first and LAST impressions, too. I wasn’t bribed with my favorite chocolate chip cookies. ***** 1. Who’s who? You know that I don’t believe in fortune-telling. […]
Extra-ordinary You: But Can He Act?
Look: I’m on Team Haru. When I list all the pros and cons of both male contenders, Haru’s good qualities far outnumber Kyung’s. Kyung is still in the negatives. However, if there’s any reason for me to rethink my position on Haru, it’ll due to the actor Lee Jae Wook who portrays Kyung. The actor […]

Extra-ordinary You: Ep 9 (17 – 18) Review
I’m not sure whether to continue with this kdrama or not. I just found out that director is Kim Sang Hyub, the director of “The King in Love.” This director is good at trolling. 🙂 My post on reincarnation is here. Reincarnation If you’re getting confused about the switching back and forth between past and present, […]
Extra-ordinary You: Eps 11 and 12 Open Thread
Feel free to discuss the episodes here. I’m only one episode behind (so far). I’m posting gifs from last week’s episodes. The actress, Kim Hye Yoon, is my honorary, imaginary daughter. lol. Gif credit: imjaebeoum’s tumblr
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 9 (17 – 18) On Reincarnation
The manhwa world is similar to a reincarnation. The nerdy trio call it déjà vu, that feeling that a moment has been experienced before, although it’s the first time. One of the nerds says it happens to him often. But Haru is still unsettled by the vision he had earlier while he and DanOh were […]
Tale of Nokdu: Ep 11 Madcap
This will be brief because I’ve jet-lag. 1. Yulmo wants a meal buddy. What is he? A kindergartner? He can’t eat because he’s missing DongJoo. He doesn’t know that DongJoo was at that moment being given a piggyback ride by Nokdu. They arrive home but there’s a stranger waiting for them. He must be from […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 8 (15 – 16)
For now, I’m going to ignore Kyung’s scenes in this episode because he gives me a headache. I can see his appeal; the actor is doing a tremendous job playing the anti-hero hero. And if the screenwriter wants him to be the endgame instead of Haru, I can tell you that the groundwork has already […]
Tale of Nokdu: Eps 10 & 11 Post Spoilers Here
No madcaps for me this week because I’m traveling. I should be home tonight and I hope my reviews have been posting as scheduled. I’ve set them to post randomly throughout the day (and night) so my 10 followers will get a surprise. When they least expect it, my review pops up. lol. Remember these […]
Flower Crew: Eps 15 & 16 Post Spoilers Here; OSTs
It’s the last week! Who shall it be? The King Lee Soo or the Matchmaker Ma Hoon? I’m with Team Ma, of course. But I’ll let Eun DanOh’s “meh” face say it all. lol. Here are the OSTs. (I should be home tonight. 🙂 I’m sure the Old-timers around here have noticed my absence since last […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 7 (13 – 14)
People find this episode a bit of a downer because the first half is spent showing DanOh looking for Haru, then second half is about Haru returning with no memories of DanOh. But this is a good time to look at Kyung and other things. 1. The rehabilitation of Kyung As to be expected, the […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 6 (11 – 12), part 2
I know reading my long posts can be tedious because it’s wordy. Although it’s time-consuming, I like to explain the actions and write down the dialogues to show you where I’m coming from when I interpret the drama. Sharing “feelings” is well and good (i.e., oppa’s handsome!) for another sites but here I’d like to […]
Flower Crew: Ep 14 @nrllee’s Recap
I grew up with the proverb “Waste not, want not” drilled into my brain. @nrllee wrote an excellent recap and it would be a shame not to repost up here. I’ll add my comments. Ep14 (The Return) Episode 14: The Return: Shiny Mint. The Viki version translated it as “Remorse.” The Kissasian version said,”The Return.” […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 6 (11 – 12) Analysis, part 1
We’re not halfway yet but I feel as if so many things already happened between DanOh and Haru. Maybe it’s because of the temporal breaks. The switch between Stage and Shadow divides time into smaller moments so instead of a day passing like a scenic panorama, a day then becomes flashes of disjointed occasions. The […]
