You should remember Chekhov’s gun when watching movies, plays and kdramas. When the camera zooms in on an object, the director is giving us a hint that it’s going to be relevant. A director wouldn’t waste production time, money, and energy to re-shoot an object from a different angle, if the object isn’t important at […]
Hotel del Luna: Dating for Ghosts
On a lighter note, Yoona’s dating misadventures with Bellhop are too funny. She has illusionary ideas about imaginary dating a ghost. 1. He “ghosted” her. (Ep 6) They were becoming close with each other when suddenly he disappeared and stop communicating with her. 2. He didn’t friend-zoned her… he ghost-zoned. (Ep 8) 3. He guilt-tripped (or […]
Bitch Talk: @flying_tool’s Comment
@flying_tool, You said this re my post on Hotel del Luna: The Return of the King Love it! Much better explanation for the episode. I was about to tease you not to get carried away and remind you that this is only my interpretation. Some people will choose to attack me rather than rebut my points […]
Hotel del Luna: “Will He Come, Too?”
Do you remember how I explained Ma Go’s words, “Their fates from a distant past have met. He would have to take care of her so she suffers less” way back in Episode 6? I wrote that if we followed the SIMPLE train of thought, then we could assume that Ma Gosin was talking about […]
Hotel del Luna: The Return of the King
This is not a parody of the Lord of the Rings. I didn’t intend to share this post with you until much later because 1) I wanted to see where the writers are going with this, and 2) I wanted you to see the connection yourselves. However, I’m aware that before I can proceed with […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 8 Madcaps Part 2
I’ll go briefly over the scene with Ma Go at the funeral, okay? Then, I’ll go for my morning run. My Part 3 should come later today. ************** The Grim Reaper doesn’t like that Manwol interfered and stopped the Granny Ghost from proceeding to the afterlife. Ha! After 1000 years as a hotelier, Manwol is […]
Go Go Squid! Episodes 10 & 11 Highlights
Episode 10 If you’re solely focus on the romance aspect like I am, you can skip Episode 10. They were separated by a continent so they could only communicate by phone. For instance, Valentine’s Day was also Shangyan’s birthday. This could have been a major romantic celebration for them but it was dud. She tried to […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 8 Madcaps, Part 1
I don’t do recaps because that’s beyond my expertise level and my pay grade. I do madcaps. This is part 1 of 4. I have to break the episode down into four so it’s easier to discuss. Let’s connect the final scene in Episode 7 with the beginning of Episode 8. From Episode 7 CS: […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 8 The Stranger Danger
Stranger danger. When my sons were little, we told them never to trust strangers offering them sweets or balloons or news about their mum. (I was often traveling on missions.) This applies for this drama. Don’t trust a drama that’s offering you sweets or misdirections or strange scenes. There is something strange about the Captain. […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 8 Put Spoilers Here
I spent the day at a winery today and I know better than to write when inebriated. I’ll watch the episode tomorrow morning after the Viki subs are out, and will try to post my usual nonsense after my morning jog. However, feel free to put in your spoilers, comments, rants and raves for Ep […]
Hotel del Luna: On Himalayan Pink Salt
I’m not discussing law. I’m merely talking about Himalayan Pink Salt so please take whatever I write here with a grain of …lol… salt. I understand where y’all coming from when you say that context matters. It should. I keep going back to the idea of justice and what it means to me…what it means […]
Hotel del Luna: Episode 7 Flash Reaction
These are my gut feelings, so please don’t ask me to explain too much because my brains are in a totally different zone in my body. 1. “The last one is the best.” My theory: the wine bottle that the Captain confiscated from her could have been used to incriminate her and/or Yeonwoo. The Princess’ […]
Go Go Squid! Episode 9 Highlights
This is a very short episode for highlights but it’s a long read because I typed the complete NetEase texts to give us the backdrop of his cluelessness and her excitement. I had vicarious thrill watching our couple connect through social media. 1. Social media newbie On the eve of his trip to Norway, Shangyan […]
Go Go Squid! Episode 8 Highlights
Don’t expect me to bore y’all with an episode-by-episode highlights because there’s, like, 80000000 episodes in this Cdrama. But there are episodes, like this one, that merit star attention. Just because the couple interaction is light and fluffy doesn’t mean that a snarky, reasonably intelligent, bitter bitch like me, can’t appreciate it. Okay, let’s go […]
