Marry My Husband: Open Thread
The thread is open, @Cleopatra. source: ingguk’s tumblr I know Park Min Young’s weight has been an ongoing issue with the k-netizens so I’m going to limit myself to just one comment. When she appeared as a cancer patient in the first few minutes of the show, I had no trouble believing it given how […]
Like Flowers in the Sand: Open Thread
The thread is open. This will be my sports drama of the season. I liked the wholesomeness of the other sports drama I’ve seen, “Racket Boys” (2021), and I’m hoping this one will follow suit. I don’t know much about ssireum, or the Korean traditional wrestling, so this show should be educational for me. Episode […]
What Are We Watching in January 2024?
It should not be a secret that I’ve long admired — and envied — those with a literature background. Being unromantic, I’m not naturally wired to see harmony and synthesis in the world so I struggle to evoke them with words. Here’s a poem “The Year” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox which encapsulates how I feel […]
Happy New Year!
Happy 2024! Here’s to a new year filled with… kdramas by screenwriters and actors we like, cdramas with less than 24 episodes, doramas with leavening content, understanding friends, caring family members, loving spouses, good health, good fortune, gpod times, memorable trips, happy reunions, spiritual renaissance, sunlight and moonlight, chocolate and seafood, our favorite things, peace […]

The thread is open. Enjoy the finale!
The Matchmakers: Ep 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is open. Here you go, @BethB. Two things: This is the first drama by Rowoon that I completed after “ExtraOrdinary You” (2019). That’s saying something. And I like the female lead. She wasn’t stupid, codependent, impulsive (like the silly female lead in “The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract), abrasive (like the female lead […]
Merry Christmas!
Have a blessed Christmas, everyone! The Birth of Jesus. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee […]
The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. Although I’m disappointed with this drama, let’s just say that “Hope springs eternal in every human breast.” Even mine, apparently. Enjoy the show.

My Demon: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. I’ll have to catch up. You know, after working in Washington DC, I find the backstabbing (whoops. it was a heart-stabbing, right?) in this drama rather unimaginative, and the villains a bit gormless. But I guess, we’re supposed to see the DoHee and GuWon’s sufferings scale up in these next few […]
The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract: Ep 6 My Notes, My Rant
In all honesty, I don’t think this drama requires my notes because: a) it isn’t at all mentally demanding to understand, b) it’s obvious when the screenwriter is MANUFACTURING the next big scene with plot contrivances, and c) the female lead is annoying as heck. I get that the cartoonist wants to show the female […]
Death’s Game: Ep 1 to 4 Open Thread
The thread is open. The first four episodes are on Amazon Prime videos here in the US. Cast: Our favorite actor, Seo In Guk (“Doom At Your Service”) and Park So Dam (“Parasite” and “Cinderella and the Four Knights”). It’s a star-studded show. Lee Jae Wook (“Alchemy of Souls”), Go Yoon Jung (Naksu in “Alchemy […]
