We’re heading out to watch the Rolling Thunder’s 31st “Ride to Freedom” so this will have to be quick. 1. The kiss Is this their third kiss? They had the forgotten kiss, the ball pit kiss and now this fridge kiss. lol. I thought she was complaining of a neck pain because they had been […]
Le Coup de Foudre: Episode 2
@GrowingBeautifully said that she was intrigued that I picked up this show to blog about. 🙂 @_d_e_y_ on twitter recommended it to me. I already finished reading the translation of the original novelette and while it’s entertaining enough, it isn’t profound. It’s a beach-read, a chick-lit. But I think the screenwriter of the Cdrama and […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 16 Highlights
love this episode because it’s their first date. I never realized that dating in a mall could have so many fun activities. 1. Text On the second day of dating, texting becomes easy-peasy for them. Yesterday, he was overthinking it. Today, he puts himself in her shoes. WY: (texting) “What are you doing?” Mo: (texting) […]
Love O2O: The Movie vs the TV Drama
Hands down, the drama version is better. I’ll give you one example of the glaring difference in movie and drama version. Their first meeting at the bridge. In the movie version, Weiwei finishes the test early. She raises her hand to submit her work but the test proctor doesn’t permit her to turn it prior […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 15 Highlights
Oh to be young again! Watching this show made me envy the first flush of romance when everything the guy does is bloody superlative. He holds his breath and chokes. It’s breathtaking. He croaks, “Yes. Yes, I like you.” It’s heart-fluttering. He prods her, “So? Do you like me, too?” It’s heart-stirring. He smiles. It’s […]
Le Coup de Foudre: Episode 1 First Impressions
It’s a good thing that I’m not a great believer of love at first sight since I was prepared to hate this Cdrama based on looks alone. The lead female, Qiao Yi, is the most unprepossessing character I’ve seen in a while. She has limp hair that needs a gallon of mousse to volumize, a […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 14 @GrowingBeautifully’s Comments
@growingbeautifully, I’ll post our conversation here. Adhoc thoughts … now that I’ve seen the video clip of GWY and Situ Mo brushing their teeth in separate bathrooms, I notice in the first screenshot that she’s wearing the same T-shirt as in the clip, and this time they are in the same bathroom, different expressions! Heh! […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 14 Highlights
To me, this is a very interesting episode because the conflicting thoughts of Gu WeiYi and Situ Mo are laid bare. 1. Remembering the kiss However hard Gu WeiYi tried to recall the events of the night he was drunk, he couldn’t remember kissing Situ Mo. While brushing his teeth in the bathroom, he wondered […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Bonus Clip
Thanks, @joonminfan, for the YT find! There seems to be four scenes excluded from four different episodes. First scene: This is prequel. It shows the first time Gu WeiYi’s and Situ Mo’s paths crossed. Gu WeiYi noticed her walking on campus as he biked past her. She didn’t notice him. In my dream world then, […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 13 Highlights
Last episode, GWY found out, through his Prof, that Situ Mo was jealous of Yu Yin. Last episode, too, STM’s friend, Meng Lu, broached the topic of jealousy. ML: So Gu WeiYi stays with her every day. Aren’t you worried? Mo: (forcefully) Cut the crap. Worry? Why should I? Now, you have to see the […]
Abyss: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
Let’s get down to business. 1. The “Abyss” I try to establish the meaning of words from the start so there’s no confusion when I use them later. In this drama, the title deserves a closer look. Barely a minute in the show, the lead character Cha Min was literally and figuratively staring at an […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 12 Highlights
I remember how it was when “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” had girls swooning for Paul Anka. Nowadays, “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” has fangirls feeling giddy over Gu Wei Yi. I laughed at the way he scooted over to her side. It was smooth like butter. credit: movielosophy’s tumblr 1. The Man-Flu This […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 11 continued
To continue where I left off yesterday. Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 11 Highlights 6. Persistence Can we just applaud this guy’s persistence? He’s indefatigable! His love confession bombed not once, not twice, but three times that night but he gets back to doing the sweet behind-the-scene things we’ve come to expect of […]
Happy Mother’s Day!
