While analyzing the class lectures and their relevance to the plot development, (link here: Extra-ordinary You: Lessons from the Classroom), I stumbled upon the second literary reference in Episode 1 of this romcom. Remember: it’s my opinion that the class lectures shed a light on our understanding of the kdrama. They’re not random and gratuitously added to […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 12 The Pottery Class
More thoughts on the pottery class from Chapter 24. This is what I previously wrote: 11. Pottery class: Be careful with her heart From Ch 24, at 3:00 The art teacher: The biggest charm in ceramics is the warmth of the creator goes right into the piece. True. To DanOh, Haru was like the warm […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 11 The Stars
My thoughts on the stars: DanOh was upset that the stars Haru made for her disappeared. Haru reassured her, “It didn’t disappear. Even if the stage changed, the time we spend together will still continue.” It’s quite interesting that the stars were there in the night sky in the original manhwa, “Flower” but not in […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 10 The Heart Monitor
@Barbrey requested: Can someone explain the heart monitor on Sae Mi’s wrist and what happened to me? I’d have to rewatch cause I didn’t get what was happening, and though Pkm3 mentions it, I still didn’t understand. Here’s the context: Haru and KY had a standoff at the end of Chapter 19. On Stage, Haru […]
Extra-ordinary You: Lessons from the Classroom
I’m having technical difficulties uploading the screenshots. 😂 I obviously didn’t take lessons in Basic Computer Troubleshooting. This list is incomplete but it’ll have to do. Edited to add these extra lessons: Extra-ordinary You: On Kyung and the Philomel Extra-ordinary You: Ep 12 The Pottery Class 1. Art class I first noticed it in Chapter […]
Tale of Nokdu: Eps 12 & 13 Post Spoilers Here
Who am I kidding? We’re not really watching this romcom for the plot, are we? Instead of “spoilers,” I should just call it “squealers.” Please post your favorite skinship from Episodes 12 and 13 here. These are from last week’s episodes. 1.

Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency: Final Grade
Episode 16: To bloom forever and ever without falling: Hibiscus Final grade: B I know some of you might find this a generous score but there are several reasons. When I set aside my disappointment in the actress Gong Seung Yeon’s dreadful acting, the kdrama itself was sound. And if I had a 20-year-old daughter […]
The King Monarch of Eternity: Should We Watch This?
The double-whammy worries me. Not only am I exposing myself to a king-size headache and but I’m also opening this blog to crazy oppa fangirls. Here are the pros: 1. I liked Kim Go-Eun in Goblin. I fell in love with her at this exact moment. She said, “I loooovvvee you,” to Goblin with that […]
VIP: Ep 1 Last Impressions
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 […]
