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 […]
Poem a Day: Episode 6 and Snail Brides
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: […]

Happy Friday the 13th! Avoid guys with hockey goalie masks, ladies with mink coats, and multi-layered girls with chopsticks.
