I’m still in Quebec City. It’s hard to care about Sungmo’s plight when everywhere, I see lot of Asian tourists doing the Goblin city tours. That kdrama wasn’t perfect too but it has spawned a tourism industry in this otherwise quiet city. The other guests in my hotel don’t understand why crowds are congregating around […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 15 Non-negotiables
I’m traveling today. Here’s my short list of non-negotiables, Ms Writer and Mr Director. 1. Jaein and Lee Ahn live. 2. Jaein and Lee Ahn stay as a couple. 3. Jaein’s dad is exonerated and lives long enough to see grandkids as cute as young Jaein and Lee Ahn were. As for the Sungmo and […]
He’s Psychometric: On Oedipus, Oedipus Complex, and Icky Factors
A couple of days ago, in my post on Episode 14, I mentioned a couple of “icky” factors. The first was the scene when Sungmo placed the ring on his mother’s finger which gave me the impression that they were getting betrothed to each other, and the second was the scene when Sungmo saw his […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 14 Random Notes
Sorry this took forever. Viki subs were subpar again. Some of the subbers either don’t follow the gist of the conversation or their command of the English language is very poor. I wonder why I even bother with Viki when there’s Kissasian which has better subs, FASTER, and FREE. Grrrrr… 1. The “Icky” Factors There are […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 13 On Manipulation
Since I suspected Sungmo hired the services of Kim Gab Yong, I’ve been on the lookout for emerging signs of his psychopathic tendencies. So far, however, nothing in his actions in Episode 13 proves conclusively that he’s turned evil. Perhaps in the following episode (which I haven’t seen yet 🙂), but not in Episode 13. […]
Love O2O: Ep 28 Highlights
For my slavedriver, @agaragarjelly, who reminded me that I must continue till the end. Two more episodes after this!!! 1. Talk nerdy to me! I’ll be the first one to admit this. When most people talk in computerese, my mind turns into an error code. So I was surprised when Nai’s demo made perfect sense […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 14 Predictions
I haven’t watched Ep 13 yet and I’ll watch this back-to-back when Ep 14 is subbed. But go ahead. You may place your predictions and spoilers here. I’m placing mine. 1. We shall recover from this thrilling roller-coaster ride. 2. Sungmo dies. There have been foreshadowings: a. the crucifix: Jesus died on the cross to […]
Love O2O: The List of Posts
This is an ongoing project. There are 30 episodes and I KNOW I’m still missing highlights for the last 3 episodes. And a comparison of the movie, drama and novel. I’m obsessive. Just hang it there. Don’t whack me for being a slacker. 🙂 These are the posts for Love O2O in chronological order. Love […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 13 As Predicted…
Jisoo died. We couldn’t say that we didn’t see her death coming because the signs were always there. The screenwriter and director shoved her death notice in our faces every. single. episode. I thought it would have been less obvious if they paid a full page obituary in the Washington Post, “RIP Detective Eun Jisoo.” Nonetheless […]
Happy Easter!
He is risen! Happy Easter! And because we like to think in this blog…. This is the Resurrection on a fresco in the Church of the Holy Savior in Turkey. Built in the 4th century, this beautiful Byzantine church was converted into a mosque during the Ottoman empire in the 16th century. The frescoes […]
He’s Psychometric: Park JinYoung Appreciation Post
Updated 4/22/2019 to add @strawberynyoung’s list of Park JinYoung’s accomplishments. I’m appointing @strawberynyoung as president of the PJY’s fan club, at least for this blog, since I’m not a big kpop follower. She wrote this: First, getting to know the multi-talented Park Jinyoung: ~ casted as JYPE trainee as a dancer in 2009 ~ debuted […]
Love O2O: Episode 27 Highlights
I’m back with my highlights. Three more episodes to go. 1. Mate poaching Yiran and her evil sidekick Nana invite Erxi to dinner, expecting Erxi to spill the dirt on Weiwei. When Weiwei accidentally joins them at the table, Yiran and Nana are confused by the excellent camarederie between Erxi and Weiwei. Erxi declares Weiwei […]

This is a sneak peek into their future. She works late at night while he sleeps at her side. 3. Another sneak peak into their future. Sharing a […]
