I like the pacing of the story. Situ Mo is slowly distancing herself from Fu Pei but she isn’t rebounding with Gu Weiyi. Highlights for me: 1. Her reflections on her dying relationship with Fu Pei I like her metaphor on glass. I thought she captured succinctly Fu Pei’s inattention and her weariness. “Every glassware […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 7 Bubblegum Flavor
Of course, Si TuMo would buy the wrong box of chewing gum. I don’t know the Chinese version but the pink Durex is sold here in the US and UK as the “Performax Intense. Ribbed and Dotted With Delay Lubricant.” They’re boxes behind the tin cans. The condoms sold in the tin cans are probably […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 6
Phew! Now that roadblock Episode 5 is out of the way, I can once again enjoy watching our couple in this episode. Here are the highlights for me: 1. Going to school together At breakfast together, Si TuMo mentions that she’s going to school (and not to her internship) to discuss her thesis. WeiYi says […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 5
I’ve to admit that Episode 5 is my least favorite episode so far because of Si TuMo’s mother. It was a pain to watch her undermine and sabotage her own daughter, even to the point of getting Gu WeiYi to team up with her against Si TuMo. Ugh! I can’t imagine talking about my sons to […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Eps 3 & 4
Just because a story is light and fluffy doesn’t mean the writer has forgotten her story arc. In fact, since this drama is simplified, it’s easy to notice an overarching thread and see how episodes are woven together. I’ll limit myself to one thread because I don’t want to bore you. I’m sure the other […]
Bitch Talk: Updates on Yang Yang
This is for @agdr03 and other Yang Yang fans. Thanks @agdr03 for sharing his instagram account. I snorted when I saw his profile picture. It’s a sheep. 🙂 Yang = sheep in Chinese. I remembered because of this scene in Taecyeon and Guigui’s Global We Got Married show. Anyway, here are his uploaded instagram news. […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 1 & 2 First Impressions
Oh yeah! A drama to blog about. This is a Chinese romcom so it’s light and fluffy. 1. Doraemon Welcome to the club if you’ve never heard of Doraemon prior to this drama. Here’s the blurb from Wikipedia: Nobita Nobi is a young boy who suffers from poor grades, frequent bullying and negative emotions like sadness […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Next Cdrama
I need something frivolous to clear my head so I’m watching this Cdrama next. Will blog nonsensical stuff about first love but I don’t care. This drama will taste like fizzy limonata after that Drambuie and Scotch concoction of He’s Psychometric. The first 12 episodes are up already on YouTube. I believe there are only […]
He’s Psychometric: Episode 16 Whatever Goes
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 […]
