The second installment. I think I’ll have to add a third one. 1. The new passcode = Lee Ahn’s birthday = his parents’ death anniversary Sungmo changed the passcode on the day before Lee Ahn’s birthday. 051203. But I don’t think Sungmo thought this through. Would Lee Ahn really want a reminder of his birthday […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 5 Notes
I’m breaking up my random notes in two installments. Second half here: He’s Psychometric: Ep 5 Notes continued *********************** 1. Dec 3, 2005 Timeline I want things organized in my head. But it’s beginning to be difficult to keep track of the sequence of events because the director replays the same night while adding more details […]
Love O2O: Episode 23 Highlights
Ohnoooo. Only seven more episodes left! And we didn’t get a kiss in this episode. lol. 1. Weiwei brags about imitating Nai. WW: When I was battling with the Xiao Yu family, it was like you had possessed me. (Meaning, she was channeling his ferocity) I was especially aggressive and didn’t make any mistakes. Now […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 5 The Painting
The painting in SungMo’s room is the “Allegory of Prudence” by Titan. It’s hanging in the National Gallery of London. The three male heads represent three ages of man: old age, adulthood and youth. In the upper part of the painting there’s an inscription which explains the painting. “EX PRAETERITO PRAESENS PRUDENTER AGIT, NI FUTURUM ACTIONE […]
He’s Psychometric: Episode 4 Random Notes
As much as I like the relationships between JiSoo and Prosecutor Kang SungMo, and Lee Ahn and his classmate JaeIn, I’m keeping tabs on the cross-relationships: Jisoo+Lee Ahn and SungMo+Jaein. If I didn’t suspect SungMo of hiding a dark secret about the apartment fire, I’d eye his preoccupation with Jaein as reminiscent of Reply 1997. […]
Love O2O: Ep 23 Trusting Weiwei
I took a lot of screenshots of this scene so I might as well post it separately. Besides, I’ve to post this eyebrow wiggling gif for @agdr03 and this is as good an excuse as any. ************** Nai didn’t even wait till he got home to challenge Cao to a duel. Outside Weiwei’s apartment, he […]
Love O2O: Ep 23 The Cakes
The subs on Netflix was awful for this scene so I went to another site and took screenshots. Weiwei was going to buy cake to appease Erxi. She looked at the prices of the cake and asked Nai to lend her the money. WW: So expensive. Can you lend me the money? I’ll pay you […]
He’s Psychometric: On the Use of Props
As Gertrude Stein wrote, “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.” To me, this line means that a word may APPEAR to be simple and common enough to be understood by all when in fact, it brings to mind many possible and different meanings, imageries and associations. Thus, it’s best to examine […]
Love O2O: Episode 22 Highlights
1. Weiwei prepares lunch for Nai. I mentioned this already, right? She’s learning to do the housewifely stuff for Nai. Or maybe she’s just feeding him like she feeds the pet tigers online. lol. He’s a carnivore anyway. Mozarta: Since Third-Sis-in-Law’s been around, Nai has become so pampered. When he was too busy to eat […]
He’s a Psychometric: Ep 4 On Kang SungMo
Everyone and their mother has a secret. That’s the great secret this show has been trying to reveal to us from the start. All has skeletons in the closet. Take for instance, Lee Ahn. His secret is the obvious one. He’s psycho. Or psychic. It’s understandable that he wants this gift/curse of his kept confidential. He’d […]
Love O2O: Robbed!
We wuz robbed of some beautiful scenes! I’m making a list of scenes that we were stolen from us. I wish the director made a Director’s Cut with the edited scenes and BTS scenes included. 1. The swimming scene (Ep 21) Okay, all that build-up to a date spent in the pool and we get […]
Love O2O: Episode 21 Highlights
I can’t believe we’re in the last third of the Love O2O. Only nine more episodes to fangirl about bitch about. 1. Naihe pops up in the game. Although Weiwei declined going to the office with Nai, saying that she wanted to rest on weekends because interns don’t get paid, she begins researching ways to improve […]
Love O2O: Episode 20 Highlights
I’m ignoring the low-lights or scenes involving Cao Guang, Nana, Sheng Zhuang, and Erxi. Erxi especially annoyed me in this episode when she repeatedly poked that poor cat’s head. I felt like bopping her head with the pooper-scooper to give her a taste of her own medicine. 1. Newsflash: Weiwei catches malaria! 😈 Personally, I have mixed […]
He’s Psychometric: Episode 3
Okay, if you haven’t started on “He’s Psychometric” yet, I’m suggesting you carve out time this weekend to do so. It’s fun to watch. I’m going to give you a few spoilers on the first 30 minutes of Episode 3 to show you how high school romance, work romance, mystery and fantasy all mixed together […]
