My good friend USAfarmgirl posted this on another site I used to frequent. I’m posting my response to her, with additional comments. Dear USAfarmgirl, I hope you don’t mind if I copied your post and transferred it over here. More and more, I ignore posts on soompi. Many posters either bloviate like cows or argue […]
Bitch Talk: No Computers in South Korea
lol. Today’s headline in The Mirror almost gave me a heart attack: South Korea to start turning computers off in the evenings to force people to stop working late For a nanosecond, I panicked because I only read half the headline. I was like, “Huh?? What about the sites like KBS, MBC, and tvN streaming […]
Bitch Talk: Drama Recommendations??
What dramas are you watching now? Can you recommend good romcoms? Even old ones will do? I want something light-hearted. My good friend mslee writes that she’s juggling quite a number of new dramas lately. “#myhusbandmrOh #evergreen (that man Oh Soo) #thegreattemptation #marrymenow (shall we live together)” But I’m still searching for my kdramas. The […]
The Great Seducer: Episode 8
We all know that this kdrama was adapted from an 18th century French novel entitled Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The title meant that the two main leads in the novel, or the counterparts of SooJi and ShiHyun, were playing a deadly game. Their revenge, their games, and their wager to make others fall in love with them […]
The Great Seducer: Flower Power
Don’t you just hate poetry? I just wish the writer spoke his fucking mind instead of confusing me with all these imageries, hints, innuendos, and circumlocution. However, since we’re sassy bitches over here and we’d like to know the relevance of this poem to the story, I’m interpreting this for the team. If you have […]
The Great Seducer: First Impressions
March 20 was supposed to have been the first day of spring here where I live, but we were clobbered by a snowstorm yesterday. Just a couple of days ago, crocuses, grape hyacinths, snowdrops and a handful of daffodils were gaily blooming in our front lawn. Now they’re all buried under a foot of snow. […]
Radio Romance: Episode 1
Frankly, this was NOT the episode I wanted to watch after a long crappy day. The heroine GueRim was the kind of child I’d detest on sight. She was a doormat at work and a bootlicker to top stars. She looked ugly with her tangled brown hair. (Why??!!! Straight black hair is so elegant. Why […]
Bitch Talk: I’m Back
I said I was a Bitch, not a Goddess. After enduring three long weeks without kdrama, two hotels in foreign lands, and one nasty fall from a @#$@#% bed, I’m back to bitch about dramas. What the hell is wrong with you, Hong sisters??!! I was expecting a nice romantic ending when I downloaded the […]
Hwayugi: Episode 16 Bar Scene
This is long so I’ll get down to business without further ado. *********************************** Bar Scene SM: Earlier, I saw the thing I’ve seen when the ill omen jar broke. To be honest, I can see the future, once in a while. OG: I guess you really are becoming stronger. SM: It feels like something that’s […]
Bitch Talk: Oli’s Perspective on Fate and GGG
Oli, I like your post so I’m going to post it in full under “Bitch Talk.” I don’t want it to be lost in the comment box. I think others should read it too to get another perspective on this Fate/GGG. Thank you for taking time to write this out. 😀 Don’t worry about the […]
Bitch Talk: SunMi’s Death/Love Bell
I’ve been exchanging a couple of interesting post with winterose96 and I think I should elevate it to “Bitch Talk” because I’m sure she’s NOT the only one feeling that OG’s failure to disclose the truth about the Death/Love Bell cause SunMi to choose the coffin. Let’s start with winterose96 first post: Hi Just want […]
Bitch Talk: LSG vs PBG as Song OhGong
I agree that Lee Seunggi is the perfect Song OhGong. LSG looks like he’s born to trick you with lots of crazy and maddening things that you secretly want to do because you too have a wild side to match his. He gives off a very masculine vibe, and because he’s very much a physical […]
Hwayugi: Episode 14
I noticed I was gritting my teeth while watching this Episode 14. Part of it is due to my frustration with the whole body-swapping thing. I don’t get it. Here’s a list of my reasons for being skeptical. 1. Isn’t body-swapping = fate-swapping too? The Priestess took SamJang’s identity: body, energy, and memory. So, why […]
Hwayugi: The Coffin Metaphor
To me, the coffin is a metaphor. SunMi was scared of hurting OhGong and potentially killing him so she chose instead to die. I could see why people would consider her decision as a self-sacrifice and, in turn, this self-sacrifice as a noble expression of her love. However, I will call bullshit again. I’m proposing […]
