This scene is swoon-worthier than the shoe scene. Don’t get me wrong. It was sweet of him to give her a pair of plum blossom shoes. He even staged an “event” which is a hallmark of all kdramas. Frankly speaking, there’s something about “events” that I find theatrical and overblown. However, I’ve come to accept […]
The Ghost Detective: The Infinite Monkey Theorem
Nice job, show! Even an infinite number of monkeys typing words at random for an infinite amount of time wouldn’t have been able to come up with this latest crap. No, I’m going to walk away from this week’s episodes. I’ve read enough comments to know that I’ll find the plot twist tiresome. It’s tiresome because […]
Bitch Talk: My List of Upcoming Kdrama Reviews
Here are the dramas I’ll be watching and bitching about, HongShim…errr… HongMoon. lol. Why did you pick that name?? I was listing them down last night because I needed to organize my schedule and reassess my priorities. Monday and Tuesday: -100 Day My Prince. Nope. Am not dropping this because of the actor despite the […]
100 Days My Prince: The Barley Field
There were so many interesting things to observe about that moment in the barley field that I’m going to devote this long post on that short scene. Hahaha. Sit back and watch me obsess over trivial things… First, live by the sword arrow, die by the sword arrow. Every time I saw Mooyoung assassinate someone […]
100 Days My Prince: On Becoming WonDeuk
Gradually and quietly, the Crown Prince Lee Yul had become WonDeuk. In the barley field, HongShim wanted to confess that he wasn’t WonDeuk after all. But he preempted her confession, saying that he already knew what she was going to say. WD: I already know what you want to confess. I know that you were […]
Where Stars Land: Abort Episode 2
Abort! Abort! The lead female YeoRim is the most aggravating heroine I’ve seen in a long while. lol. Now, I know why Suzy Bae declined this role. Good job, Suzy! Here’s my long laundry list of the character’s fault: She’s self-absorbed. She doesn’t follow protocol because she thinks she knows better. She’s a complainer. On […]
Devilish Joy: Episode 8
(Updated) My review is coming. I see that some of you have been pulling up my old posts, especially my impressions on Episode 1 and 2, so I’m assuming that there’s interest on what I have to say about this show. (hahaha) Will edit this for my review. Let me attend my morning meetings, and […]
Because This is My First Life: Cameo of an Epilogue
I remember feeling dissatisfied with the finale of “Because This is My First Life” because I would have loved to be shown a glimpse of JiHo and SeeHee’s married life. And I thought HoRang and WonSeok (him especially) needed a longer time-out. So I was surprised when I saw these gifs from paper-box’s tumblr a […]
Where Stars Land: Fox Bride Star Ep 1
Updated to include my most recent posts. You can also check the sidebar next time. Not sure how long I’ll be blogging on this, though. Where Stars Land: Episode 3 Where Stars Land: Abort Episode 2 ********************************** That’s the funny thing about literal translations of Korean titles. They don’t make sense. It’s like we’re offered […]
100 Days My Prince: Episode 7
My reason for watching “100 Days My Prince” instead of “Where Stars Land” summed as as video: “Never gonna give you up” by Rick Astley. Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you ********************************* Frankly speaking, I stuck with this episode because of the actor Do […]
100 Days My Prince: Or Where Stars Land??
Oh no! 🤦♀️ Which one should I watch and review first?? KyungSoo or Lee Je-Hoon? Doe eyes or sharp nose? Sageuk or contemporary? Nam Ji-Hyun or Chae SooBin? Country mouse or city mouse? Fight scene or meet cute? I was bored out of my skull with Lee Je-Hoon’s last kdrama “Tomorrow, With You” so I […]
The Ghost Detective: Episode 7
Because I’m a superficial bitch (and proud of it!), let me begin with this inspiration. Ta-daa! Lee DaIl with glasses. He looked fine in this episode, but I think he would have been a serious contender to McDreamy had he been wearing specs. Okay, back to work now, packmule3! If we were to divide the […]
Prayers for Indonesia
To the victims and survivors of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia, my prayers are with you. I pray that missing family members be reunited, the bereaved find comfort and strength, and the injured be healed from their pain and trauma. My prayers also go out to the relief workers. As they do their […]
100 Days My Prince: Ep 6’s Swoon-Worthy Moment
I thought this floating wish lantern was very sweet and thoughtful of JeYoon. credit: seoinsguk’s tumblr But nothing beats saving the girl from a deadly avalanche of cannellini beans, of course. credit: liveasbutterflies’ tumblr Only in kdrama-land do scenarios like this happen. Really, it was much easier and more logical for WonDeuk to move them both out […]
