I’m still waiting for Viki subs. Meanwhile, I’m transferring my posts from soompi over here because one of these days, I’ll go nuclear and delete all my posts in soompi. (lol) Another one of my good friend, @fikachuuu asked me these questions: Ok here comes the questions: 1. What was the point of PJW asking […]
Throwback Thursday: The Meaning of Cemeteries in “Goblin”
While waiting for subs, let me resurrect an old post from soompi. My good friend @nearsea (Yes, I do have lot of friends at soompi but zero followers) asked me: Wow the last line, never thought of it before, yes now that we think about it, this does seem to be something profound, [or was […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 16 The Kiss 😈
The Expectation: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, credits: Klimt, of course, and europosters The Reality: 😂😈🤪 Seriously now. I’ve to admit that I started this episode expecting lip-action because I’ve been conditioned by Hollywood, Klimt and Rodin to equate love to an amorous and physical display of FEELINGS between a couple. But I stayed for […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 15 Highlights
This isn’t a recap because my Korean language proficiency in a scale of 1 to 10 is 0.00019. Highlights: 1. Getting him to say yes to her proposal lol. Look at her sad eyes! Who could resist these sad eyes? Of course, he couldn’t resist those eyes, so he answered, “Hae-yo!” which probably means “Heck […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Reality vs Fantasy
A few things to consider about the real death of Hyun Sik after playing a virtual game or Augmented Reality (AR) with JinWoo: 1. In the game, Hyun Sik was killed by JinWoo. When the two men decided to duel each other in the AR game, they both knew they were playing to kill each […]

Two more episodes to go! I’m going to miss this. Just a reminder. I’m not doing my madcaps tomorrow Wednesday. I’ve a brunch office party. It’s mandatory. lol Let’s get started with my heart-fluttering moments of Ep 14. ********** 1. Their connection explained For almost all viewers Episodes 11 and 12 (or week 6 ) […]
Fluttering Alert: Honor Among Thieves
@Anna_Tan wrote this: Will you be analyzing the conversations Hye Joo had with HJM and WH in episode 14? HJM said there is a line which bad people do not cross. What is that line, is it Hitting people below the belt, keep threatening the other party or don’t know when to stop? I found […]
Fluttering Alert: Question on YEH?
Is she Catholic? Or maybe the set/prop director is Catholic? Because that’s the Mary statue on the table. I’ve never seen that used as a prop before. This scene is from Episod 10 at 40:23 Edited to add this: Thanks, @tsutsuloo! From Episode 8, at 34:35.
Fluttering Alert: On Understanding HyeJoo
A poster at soompi asked why Wannabe Wife would want to hurt WooHyun if she actually wanted him. Her behavior can be viewed as retaliatory as in “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Or it can be viewed as a “sour grapes” like a child would break a toy so nobody else could […]
Fluttering Alert: On Chun Jung Myung’s Dream Disaster
Did you notice my recurring theme here? lol I keep on finding these excerpts from the same Knowing Brothers episode. I wish I knew what episode this was on so I could watch the whole show. He tells unexpected stories of the ordinary things and he delivers them with a smiling face. Right away, you […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 13 Heart-Fluttering Moments
Sniff. Sniff. I missed – and I’ll miss — writing these heart-fluttering moments. ************ 1. Longing looks It’s a trope universally accepted in kdramas that when a man is in possession of fine healthy eyes, he must gaze longingly at his woman across a crowded room. They have got to stop meeting in hospitals like […]

And @oli? And yours, @lmangla, if you’re lurking here? Who made the first move?Interesting because this relationship has had a lot of […]
Fluttering Alert: Quick Note on WH’s Dad
I don’t have time to do a Madcap today. I’ve to leave for office pretty soon. But let me assure you all that nothing bad happened in this Episode. In the end, the ex-boyfriend didn’t cause trouble. Wannabe Wife was still stymied and couldn’t cause much trouble. And WooHyung and YooJung quickly got over their YJ’s […]
Fluttering Alert: Scarf Moment
The scarf scene is arguably THE defining moment of this episode. I know the viewers are squealing because it IS kinda sexy… in a good innocent way. Hey! If this kdrama were 50 Shades of Grey, scarves would have a totally different use. Just think bondage. Emotionally, I totally get the romance of deep gazes, […]
