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 […]
Bitch Talk: Rent an Oppa
@agdr03’s comment on our 4th year anniversary had me thinking that, yeaaahh, she’s right. I do get obsessive about my analysis. So to lighten me up, I’m sharing these two videos on renting an oppa. You might consider this next time you visit Seoul. This YT is informational. He gives the rates. $80 for […]
Hotel del Luna: Ep 6 Explaining the King Ghost
One my great (or dumb, depending on how this ends) theories is that the ghost stories are created as a plot device. They’re intended to explain an aspect of Manwol’s life or to give an insight into her “twisted” mindset. Here are the key points. The Mayor from Episode 1 “How can living things not […]
Bitch Talk: Deng Lun or Yang Yang?
or Li Xian? As Dumbledore said, “It’s our choices that show what we truly are.” Whatever, Dumbledore. I’m just watching here for the male leads. Doesn’t take a genius to see that. Deng Lun’s drama: Mr Fighting Co-star: Sandra Ma Episodes: 44 Synopsis from Chinesedrama.info Hao Zeyu (Deng Lun) debuted 10 years ago through a […]
Hotel del Luna: Manwol’s Clothes
Because I’ve been reading too many lavish compliments on her clothes on the internet, I wrote this. I found these gifs from belsmultifandommess’ tumblr. Credit goes to her. It’s too bad that the clothes aren’t arranged in chronological order because I want to analyze them. 🙂 I’d be surprised if her outfits weren’t designed to […]
Throwback Thursday: Warm and Cozy: The Elevator Scene
For Throwback Thursday, I’m retrieving another long post from my “Warm and Cozy” days. I’m posting it here for two reasons: One, to show how chemistry between actors sometimes involve the imagination of the viewers, and two, to show that even after four years, @agdr03 and I haven’t changed much. I’m posting her reaction to […]
Throwback Thursday: Warm and Cozy: On Timejumps and Cellphones
I wrote this about the ending of another lesser-known Hong sisters’ romcom, “Warm and Cozy” (2015) For Throwback Thursday, I’m retrieving it from soompi. You don’t have to read this, but if you want to know how the Hong sisters do endings, then you might want to slog through 100000000000 paragraphs. lol. Who am I […]
