This is how my anti-Makjang bitch is feeling right now: I’m asking the drama gods, “Are we there yet?? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” because it’s been a long and tiring journey. I’m tortured by these crazy volatile passengers. SooJi and her multi-layered, multi-colored, deodorized shit. (It’s still fecal, hon.) Her mom’s […]
Poem a Day: The Funniest Things
I have to hug the scriptwriters of Poem a Day. I had a great time with their quips, parodies, and inside jokes these last couple of episodes. 1. Camel eyes. Who knew that looking like a camel is considered a compliment in Dubai? Chief Doctor: She’s not the type that MEN from Dubai like but […]
Poem a Day: Taylor Swift’s Song
Paperclip (I like that name!) wrote this about MinHo: Okay i finally delurked because this show has me slightly obsessed. Whilst I have finals right around the corner..oops! It was actually your post about the apple apology that got me interested about the show, and I binged four episodes of it after your post on […]
A Poem a Day: You Who Forgot Poetry
The “You” in the title is MinHo. To FORGET implies that MEMORIES of a person, place, experience, or emotion originally EXISTED but were lost in TIME. You can’t forget what wasn’t there to begin with. If we replace the word “poetry” with BoYoung, who after all is the very personification of poetry in this kdrama, […]
Poem a Day: Discussions at Night
Nighttime is when I can answer your replies. Without further ado, let’s talk. edited to add this: Welcome to the new posters! Are you all MinHo supporters?? Wait a second. When did we become MinHo Central? hahaha. edited to add some more things. I’m really going to sleep now. ***************** To Ann who shared two […]
Poem a Day: On Vanishing Points
When I first read the title of Episode 8, “The Point of No Return,” I feared the worst for MinHo — and prepared myself to cheer for Dr. Ye. 😀 The title “The Point of No Return” gave me flashback of Episode 9 in Reply 1988 with its title “Crossing the Line.” Back then, I […]
Poem a Day: Flash Poll Episode 8
MinHo the Jerk moved up a few millimeters. Why? Because the nice spring day, the cherry blossoms and the cotton candy are all run-of-the-mill drama tropes. The director and writer didn’t have to be there to shoot the scene. An assistant director and a junior scriptwriter could have copied previous kdrama hits. Here’s last year’s […]
Poem a Day: Response to Lespoir48
Lespoir48 posted this as a comment, and I’m going to post it out here so I segue to the role of Defcon in this comedical. Here’s Lespoir48’s post: ***************************** Yesterday was so devastating reading about most of viewers hating on Min Ho:( I wonder what k-neitizens think of him. Do you happen to know? While […]
Bitch Talk: Wolverine is Dating
I’ve barely begun to watch the Waikiki Eucalyptus show (sorry I can’t remember the real title) but I owe this character the most laugh wrinkles in ages. (Gee, thanks Lee Yi Kyung!) For example, this scene: credit: melissaleavesthevillage With that facial hair, how could he EVEN look anything remotely human? Much less his ID picture? […]
Poem a Day: On Crickets
This is the follow-up post to the Flash Poll on Episode 7: Poem a Day: Flash Poll Episode 7 ****************************************** lol. I didn’t know I signed up to watch “Animal Planet” when I started with “A Poem a Day.” Last Episode 6, I explained how BoYoung was like that Snail Bride in Korean folklore […]
Poem a Day: Flash Poll Episode 7
During U.S. presidential debates, people have an intense desire to gauge who won immediately right after the debate. Of course, quick polls aren’t predictive of the ultimate winner of the elections. Just look at Hillary Clinton who was the Main Lead on ALL polls ALL the way till the end of Election Day. lol. Frankly, that’s the main […]
Poem a Day: Waiting for Subs
Sigh. It’s hard to wait for subs so I’m going to post random gifs and pics here and post my thoughts on them. 1. This scene. Don’t you wonder what happened afterwards? She left her poem there and he grabbed her wrist. Why did he stop her and what did he ask her? credit: kinaotree’s […]
Poem a Day: At the Presscon
For Lespoir48, A, Fiona, and the other MinHo fans. (hey, what is this?? Is this blog turning into a MinHo Haven?? lol) I made these gifs for you. These were taken during the presscon for the kdrama. I’ll try to find the YT link again and post it here. All I know is that the […]
Poem a Day: Senior Moment
I nearly cried when I saw this scene: It hit me hard because I could commiserate with the old man’s struggles with newfangled technology. This is how I feel with my: -rice cooker (What the heck is a GABA brown rice?) -remote control (It’s faster for me to stand up and switch channels manually than […]
