I marathoned through 6 episodes of Camellia to finally catch up with the series before it ends this Thursday. But but but… I don’t think Hyungsik’s dad is the Joker. It’s Hyungsik. I know the police captured the dad but the profile is all wrong. 1. You see, the murderer of the beautician turned up […]
Hotel del Luna: Manwol’s Reincarnation
Here’s the question: Did Manwol reincarnate? The way I see it the naysayers have only two arguments while the champions have five. The naysaysers believe that Manwol couldn’t have reincarnated because: one, the writers said that the story ended. “Hong Jung Eun: Hotel del Luna is a place where dead people come. In other words, […]
Extra-ordinary You: On Keeping Her vs Keeping Her Safe
I woke up today to plenty of great posts. Thanks @nrllee, @barbrey and @leedale9198 for your comments. If I’ve time today, I’ll post my reply out here. I’ll edit this later to post screenshots and the Episode numbers. I’m obsessive that way. I’ll answer @barbrey’s comments first. From @barbrey No I don’t think Dan Oh […]
Extra-ordinary You: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
Please post your spoilers here. Thanks! ****************** As I told @lovebangwon on twitter today, “Extra-ordinary You” and “The King in Love” were filmed by the same director. Had I known this sooner, I would have walked away. I sensed a familiar style or approach in directing while watching “Extra-ordinary You” so I went on mydramalist […]
Extra-ordinary You: On Kyung and the Philomel
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. Behind-the-scenes from CoolHipVideos 2. Gif credit: seoinsguk’s tumblr 3. Gif credit: koreandumpp’s […]
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 […]
