Flower Crew: Eps 13 & 14 Post Spoilers Here
This is the penultimate week. Time went fast because we were looking at this guy. Will he or won’t he turn savage to keep her at his side? I’m curious to know his reason for voiding his matchmaking contract with Lee Soo. Is he going to cite Lee Soo’s breach of contract because he decided […]
Throwback Thursday: The Bridges of “My Sassy Girl”
I know it isn’t Thursday. 🙂 But this is one of the posts I should have transferred over here a long time ago from soompi. Bridges are ubiquitous in kdramas because not only are bridges visually pleasing, but they’re also easily understood as a symbol. Crossing bridges means building a relationship. The tv version of […]
Extra-ordinary You: Eps 3 & 4 Highlights, part 2
Good things come to those who wait. 😂 Thanks for being patient. I’m getting confused between hour-long episodes and the half-hour long episodes so for the purposes of this blog, I’ll call the hour-long shows *episodes* and the half-hour shows *chapters* until I find a better term for the segments. 4. The importance of names […]
Extra-ordinary You: The Writer
This post will work like a time capsule. I’m leaving a crazy theory here that I’ll revisit at the end of the show. Strictly speaking, this isn’t even a theory because I’ve no credible explanation. Let’s just it’s a hunch, a gut feel. NamJoo’s mother is the writer. If there was anybody who could write […]
Tale of Nokdu: Episode 6 Review
The review you’ve been waiting for — 1. The King’s instability? If you’re tired of this writer’s nonstop reference to the King’s persecution complex, then so am I. Hey, Writer, we already GET IT that the King never felt accepted by the people because his mother was only a concubine. His younger brother was the […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 11
Lies: Morning Glory It wouldn’t feel right for me to skip my analysis of this episode. I’m sure it’s already obvious to you that all the characters are lying in this episode, so let’s give them awards. The “Lying Liar” Award goes to DoJoon. I understand that he’s still hurting after JiHwa rejected him at […]
Extra-ordinary You: On Haru’s Character
Here are my notes on Haru’s Character as of Episode 4 (or shows 1 to 8). Feel free to disregard my theories. 🙂 1. He’s the one who created the blackhole. I said that in my “First Impressions.” 2. He came looking for Eun DanOh. She was the only one who experienced that spatial distortion […]
Extra-ordinary You: Eps 3 & 4 Highlights, part 1
This is long because I tend to explain everything. I want viewers to understand what they’re viewing from a different set of eyes. Don’t you get bored with the normal interpretation? This is a difficult romcom to understand…at least, more difficult than normal, and it’s easy to get lost. Fortunately, the lead actress is such […]
Extra-ordinary You: The Title Explanation
I’m still writing my review for Episodes 3 and 4 (aka Shows 5 to 8). It should be up later today. Meanwhile, I hereby declare that the correct title of this romcom is “Extra-ordinary You” with the hyphen in the middle. You see, we’re led to believe that female lead of this romcom, DanOh, is […]
Tale of Nodku: Ep 7 Madcap
Sorry. There’ll be no pics for this one because I had technical difficulties uploading the lovely screenshots. I tried and failed. But I’ll edit when I get home tonight. Remember I only know three Korean words that are applicable to this kdrama: Nahri which means Lord, Orabeoni which means Big Brother and Saranghaeyo which means […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 11 On Love
Quick! Check my temperature! I must not be feeling well today because I actually like Gaeddong in this episode. lol. Although I know her behavior is anachronistic for that time period, that is, women weren’t supposed to make love declarations, I like that writer made Gaeddong a more “contemporary” heroine. Unlike Jihwa who can leverage […]
Tale of Nokdu: Ep 6 Madcap
Disclaimer: I don’t speak Korean but let me see if I can guess what’s happening in this episode based on my screenshots. All the scenes are real but the dialogues are imaginary. ****************** Yulmo decides to overlook DongJoo’s and Nokdu’s bedroom romance. He bribes Aengdu with food to get more information about Nokdu. Aengdu has […]
