I mentioned that the Knight of Death was relevant to the story here and gave two reasons. Here’s the third one I promised. Again, this is MY interpretation of the kdrama. Be my guest and see if YOU can come up with another better — or worse — interpretation. 😂 I’m all ears. To me, […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Game Logic Again
A poster from soompi asked me this question. I’m answering here. As usual, her post is in blue italics; my reply in black. This does help me answer a lot of my question about the glitch/bug and how jinwoo could be a bug. On all the theme and symbolism the post mention, i see that […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Ep 1 and 16 Wrap-up
One reason I gave this kdrama a whopping A- as final grade is because I LOVED how the ending paralleled the beginning. (I dinged it because I expected the honeymoon in Granada and 2.5 children.) It’s rare in kdramas nowadays to see a script come full circle and end the story where it began. To […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Goyangi’s Instance Dungeon and Odysseus
Goyangi’s comments are in blue italics; my take on the matter is in black. ************************ + I have the same question as everyone about why Marco and Sejoo seem to be exempt from bug status. Possible answer: Sejoo said Marco no longer showed up once Jinwoo completed the quest and became the new master. Were […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Phoenix’s Happy Ending and Game Explanation
Phoenix’s post is in blue italics. My comments are in black. ************************ True to form, MotA delivered shockers till the very end, showing that anything the viewers will predict will actually not happen! While I can’t say I am happy with the ending (I think I’m a closet romantic), it made sense because ever since […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Oli’s Bugs and Dungeons
I know that @phoenix, @rori0711, @goyangi posted questions (I hope they’re questions, and not paeans to HyunBin’s dimples, lol) but I’ll read them later, okay? I self-identify as a pink flamingo today and I can’t focus well when you’re all raising good points. Oli’s questions: Q: Why was Jin Woo a bug too & regardless […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Q&A on Marco and Open Endings
Three questions at a time or else we’ll get sick. Disclaimer: No fans, antifans, disgruntled viewers, writers, directors and animals were consulted during the writing of this blog. Do not eat; not a toy. But chewing over a good idea is a good idea. Intentional misuse by deliberately misconstruing my words can be harmful or […]

Bitch Talk: Next Drama, Please
Unless you ladies have alternatives, I’ll be sticking around with The Crowned Clown for a bit. Eeyore says, “Sigh. January is turning out to another bleak winter without any drama on my Must See List.” I’m skipping Touch My Heart starring Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na. Maybe I’ll finish watching What’s Wrong With […]
Memories of the Alhambra: On Faith
Thanks for the lurkers who came out and posted. I’ll respond to them later. I’m fighting jetlag now and barely winning. I promised my husband our vacation was going to be krama-free. He was the masculine version Emma. Within 10 feet of him, all my kdrama implements like ipad, laptop and iphone would be confiscated. […]
Memories of the Alhambra: The Love Story
People have long insisted that this kdrama was a love story but it wasn’t till last goodbye of Jinwoo and Heejoo that I finally believed it. Call me a sucker for goodbyes. There’s nothing like a good adieu to pull my heartstrings. Did I tell you my favorite tearjerker is Casablanca? I watch it when I […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Much Ado About Nothing and Heejoo
Yesterday, my good friend (and resident informant, lol, because she’s informative about things like this) @nrllee posted a link to another site about “PokemonGo…male centric (gamer perspective)…love line shoehorned in…” I’m not going to post the link here so just search @nrllee’s comment yourself. (Big Hint: On Flashbacks, #1) I have to warn you all […]
Memories of the Alhambra: On Flashbacks and Hedges
After reading nasty comments on characters and dramas over the years, I’m not surprised anymore how easy it is for netizens, whether k-netz or i-netz, to gang up on something they don’t like or understand. The hive mentality is strong with both fans and anti-fans.🐝 I wish however that the good readers of this blog […]
Memories of the Alhambra: On Flashbacks, pt 1
🙂 I read viewers gripe so often about the flashbacks so I’ll explain my take on it. Actual Question from a MotA forum: Why does it take up 5 to 10 minutes of the first half? My Short Answer: Because we’re logging back in. Don’t you see what the director’s doing here? The flashback is […]
