This is exactly why I avoid kdramas with political and legal themes: I get easily triggered. But despite being traumatized in the first 20 minutes of the show, I persevered for two episodes because the male lead is Song Seung Heon. You see, my self-prescribed, and totally non-lascivious goal was to find out if the […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 16 Literal vs Metaphorical
Just to recap some of the things in the comment section — One of the difficulties many viewers encountered with this kdrama is discerning when to take the words literally or metaphorically. I understand these statements as LITERALLY true. 1. From Episode 1. Thanks @Storm_moon. MW: I’m not dead. I still haven’t died. I’m just […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 16 The Final Challenge
I’m channeling the bitchy Manwol in Episode 16 who scolded Chansung for his lack of romance. MW: Gu Chansung, is there another star which we can see now? CS: I’m not sure. I don’t know that much about astronomy, so I don’t know of any. Her face fell and she tugged her hand from his […]
Hotel del Luna: Final Letter Grade
I’ll write my highlights for Episode 16 later. For now, I’m leaving my letter grade for Hotel del Luna. I’m following the US standards for grading. An A- is between 90 to 92, an A is 93 to 96 and an A+ is 97-100. I’ll add more comments to this post as I answer questions. […]
Pride and Prejudice (1995): Open Thread
I remember their first meeting. Mr Darcy said, “She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me. And I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.” She’s tolerable. = She’s so-so. But not handsome enough to tempt me. = But she isn’t […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 16 Post Spoilers Here
Hurray! We survived 8 weeks of bitching over Hotel del Luna!!! No matter what happens, this finale calls for a celebration! A happy ending for me would have entailed a wedding, honeymoon, sailing on Sanchez’s yacht, family life, and three children. But I think the writers have a different notion of happy endings. 🙂
Hotel del Luna: Ep 15 Quick Takes
Just to set us for finale episode tonight. 1. Going back Mago1 asked him to go on an errand to pick a flower from the House of the Full Moon, she gave him two instructions. One: When you go around the tree, you’ll see the entrance for the House of the Full Moon. When you […]

Hotel del Luna: Eps 13 and 14 On Captain Firefly
Now, I’m ready to write about our dear Captain Firefly. This is what @growing_beautifully had to say about Capt Firefly. I agree with her. About those horrid last words… made to sound so ‘caring’ but actually a curse!! It was not enough that he’d already robbed her of family, self-worth and choice in killing him, […]

Hotel del Luna: Episode 13 Highlights
I forgot this one because of @lovebangwon’s request to review “Love Alarm.” 1. Cute Manwol I like that he finds her cute when she’s showing her caring side. He smiled when she was griping that talking about pizza made her worry about Sanchez. She caught him off guard because she rarely expressed “worry” for somebody […]

It really is so good, I just wish it was more eaasily available for people to watch. I will give the links I have found. The YT playlist unfortunately the videos keep getting […]
Hotel del Luna: On Chansung’s Sex Appeal
I’m posting his comments here so it’s easier for me to reply. @FGB4877 CS’ calm, collected manner could be seen as “manly” and “cool” in another character, but unlike other stoic “manly” characters, from the start (even in the first scene when he’s a kid) he is kind, patient, and loyal. And not like he […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 14 Highlights
Before I start with my highlights, I’ll post an excerpt of @growing_beautifully’s rants in the comment section because I agree with her. Testing Man Wol And Ma Go 1 takes the cake for being hypocritically benevolent on the one side but unconscionably indifferent and even evil on another. She deliberately planted ideas that could be […]
