Where to begin with Episode 6? First, let’s start with Dr. Ye. I liked Dr. Ye. However, it’s becoming more evident to me that his major character flaw precludes him from “winning” the girl’s heart. His Achilles heel is his rigidity – or as his colleagues call it, his “inflexibility.” He refuses to adapt and […]
The Great Seducer: On Sejoo, Part 2
While our attention was split between TH and SH, and their parents, let’s not lose sight of SeJoo. I’ve been checking tumblr and a large number of the posters pity this guy. lol. I don’t think they see beyond his pretty smile and I don’t think they understand his silent moments. So, it’s no wonder […]
The Great Seducer: TaeHee the Animal
One of our shy readers emailed me about her observation on SH. I’d like to share half of her email with you, and tell me what you think. Oli? Table? Nearsea? Tamara? If you want to add something, go ahead. This is what she wrote: Have you noticed that SH is a major weeper? Don’t […]
Poem a Day: On Dr. Ye’s Kindness
Was I or was I not right to describe Dr. Ye as INFLEXIBLE? 😉 Back in Episode 3 (before Episode 6 aired), I called both him and Minho out for being jerks. I said their difference was MinHo was a jerk only to BoYoung, while he was a jerk to his colleagues. Poem a Day: […]
Bitch Talk: Happy Friday the 13th!
Happy Friday the 13th! Avoid guys with hockey goalie masks, ladies with mink coats, and multi-layered girls with chopsticks.
Throwback Thursday: Reply 1988
Every Thursday (and on days I feel nostalgic), I’ll transfer some of my older commentaries and post them here. I intend to take down all of my posts one of these days. This one was originally posted in soompi but was asked to be taken down by the JH shippers because it was “bashing” their […]
Poem a Day: Ten Things I Hate About You
Remember this movie? There was a poem in that movie too read and composed by Kate. 10 Things I Hate About You I hate the way you talk to me And the way you cut your hair I hate the way you drive my car I hate it when you stare I hate your big […]
Poem a Day: The Great Seducer Connection
If you aren’t watching “A Poem a Day” yet, I recommend binge-watching it this weekend. It’s fun to watch and the writing is good. It’s a welcome respite from all the makjang tropes in The Great Seducer. 🙂 For “Great Seducer” viewers, this is what I’m talking about. When BoYoung’s father passed away, the mom […]
The Great Seducer: Episodes 17 and 18
Here are the highlights of the Monday’s show for me. 1. The obligatory cheesy railroad date. Personally, I’ve always connected train stations with farewells and departures rather than hellos and homecomings. In the reality show, Global We Got Married, I watched Guigui’s and Taecyeon’s teary goodbye at this train station (it’s the same one, isn’t […]
Poem a Day: Who’s the Male Lead? Week 3
To spoof the US Presidential Election 2016, every Wednesday, I’ll update my Bitches-R-Us Boyfriend-o-meter to illustrate the two candidates’ chances of winning our gal BoYoung’s heart, ergo the title “Male Lead” of this kdrama. As of Episodes 5 and 6, my Boyfriend-o-meter indicates that it’s LEANING toward that rascal MinHo as the boyfriend. I’m sure […]
The Great Seducer: Rant Here. Spoilers Allowed.
I haven’t watched The Great Seducer but go ahead and give me the spoilers if you want to vent. Did SH turn bad? Is he dead already? Did TaeHee cry over him? Did SJoo turn bad? Is SJ slinking away under the rock? I don’t think SH/SJoo + SJ will be anything as evil as […]
Poem a Day: The MinHo Clown Car
Rats! My Ye Line just got roadkilled by the MinHo clown car in Episode 5. Lol. The other Ye Liners will undoubtedly wonder, “What is that bitch smoking? Didn’t BoYoung give him the poetry book, ‘It’s Okay If You Don’t Love Me’? What more proof does she want that’s it’s BoYoungDoctor Ye?” The episode started […]
Poem a Day: Stop Shipping, Nearsea!
😀 My longtime friend, nearsea, wrote this: @packmule3 You know, after watching episode 1, I thought it was decided that I’m team min ho, I don’t know why, it must be because of the actor, :D. But everyone seems to be raving about Yeliner, and I guess I am on the second lead ship this […]
Poem a Day: Episode 3
As I mentioned elsewhere, I like how this kdrama assigns each major character a catchphrase to give a sneak peek of his behavior. Take for instance, the male lead, Doctor Ye. His catchphrase is obviously, “May I give you an advice?” His habit of giving unsolicited advice creates the impression that he’s an annoying Mr. Know-It-All. […]
