I’ve to make good on my promises. If there’s a part 1, there should be, at least, a part 2. Tale of Nokdu: Episode 5 Highlights, part 1 8. Nokdu’s origins Grrr… Nokdu’s past is becoming clearer but I don’t like it. It’s too messy. Twenty years ago, in a hut somewhere, the king sat […]

Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 9 Highlights
Let’s roll. 1. Hoon as the kingmaker — or the queen-maker Link: Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency: Ep 9 The Kingmaker Remember: Hoon’s undertaking a very risky and dangerous mission. He said that it was a “deceit that shows utter contempt for the people of Joseon.” By this, he meant that should their deception be discovered, […]
Extraordinary You: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
There are 12 half-hour episodes or 6 hour-long episodes. After finishing 2 hour-long episodes, I believe I’ve the minimum facts to form a theory or two. Since I know you read me for my theories, as absurd as they may be, let’s get to them. 1. The black holes Eun DanOh found two blackholes. She […]
Bitch Talk: Extraordinary You
I finished watching 2 hour-long episodes of “Extraordinary You.” I’ll post later today; I think I got this. 🙂 credit: Asian wiki Since I have problems distinguishing the guys, I have this handy-dandy cheat guide. Eun DanOh Mystery Guy, her OTP Baek Kyung, herfiancé Oh Nam Joo, the campus crush Lee Do Hwa, the second […]
Vagabond: Open Thread
I’m dropping this kdrama but I don’t want to leave the others here hanging. You can have this space to discuss, rant, rave, analyze, theorize, and spoilers from now on. Here’s my last review: Vagabond: Episodes 7 & 8 Breakup Me to Vagabond: I’m moving on to ??? I don’t know yet. “Extraordinary You” has been […]
Vagabond: Episodes 7 & 8 Breakup
I’m a serial dater. I date kdrama series like I would a potential partner, and I give it a maximum of four weeks to impress me. Eight evening dates with a kdrama should tell me whether it’s up to my standards or not. I’m dumping you, Vagabond. Here are my reasons. One, I like physical, […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency: Ep 9 The Love Knot
Hoon is a giver. If you’ve been paying attention, then you know that he doesn’t give Gaeddong material things. He gives her intangible things. His hyung believed in the power of the love knot. Remember? “This is the Dong-shim-gyeol knot. It means it’s tying two hearts together as one. To live together well as if […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency: Ep 9 The Kingmaker
Hoon’s the kingmaker, a person who wields the power to choose and designate important people in an organization and thus, shape the future goals and policies of the organization. Hoon’s not merely dealing with an arrangement between couples and families, but the perfect personnel for a monarchy. Hoon didn’t intend to be the most influential […]
Bitch Talk: If I Were a KDrama Writer…
I’d write a story about these two kids, Carson, aged 8, and Hyun, aged 10. The title of this clip is “When a Korean kid meets an American kid for the first time” but the kdrama will be called, “When a Korean kid meets an American kid for the 88th time.” lol. I’m sure […]
Tale of Nokdu: Episode 5 Highlights, part 1
Don’t you ever wonder how these kdrama come up with metaphors about love? Just last week in “When the Camellia Blooms?” I saw love described as steam for dumplings, and now I hear that love is like a cough. You can’t hide it. What’s next? Love is like swine flu? a Tyrannosaurus Rex? A big […]
Flower Crew: Can He Kiss? #Himtoo
What’s good for Nokdu is good for Hoon. Does Hoon know how to kiss, too? So far Gaedong has been the one to impose on Hoon with her hugs and kisses. When will he reciprocate her physical affection? By Episode 14? Episode 15? Or heaven forbid, Episode 16? I watched and reviewed Kim Min Jae […]
When the Camellia Blooms: Eps 7 and 8
Just in time for tomorrow’s show. I heard this kdrama has been extended. I hope the writer won’t fill the extra episodes with fluff. 1. The murder suspect The writer did a good job throwing viewers off the scent in these episodes and showing Dongbaek’s mother as a suspect. It started with the Police Chief […]
