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. […]
Poem a Day: Who’s the Male Lead?
Does it matter? Can’t we enjoy this show without worrying who she’ll end up with? If you ask me, I prefer the older guy, Dr. Ye. But if you ask me again who I think the story is building up to be the male lead, my answer is, as of Episode 4, it’s the younger guy, […]
The Great Seducer: On SH’s Dad
Time to focus on the parents. I know people found the parents’ stories boring, but they fascinated me. Their stories are the missing pieces of the puzzle. I’m glad that the parents’ motives are slowly being unveiled. I think I’ll dole out my Monster Rating for the parents. I’m doing this piecemeal because it’s Saturday […]
Poem a Day: Episode 4
My only claim to college literature is that I kept company with the “hip” crowd discussing Sartre, Rimbaud and Tagore. 🙂 I merely sponged off other people’s brains and soaked in their ideas. Nowadays, we say, “Pass me the popcorn” when we’re about to witness fireworks during a debate. But back in those days, we […]
The Great Seducer: Two Secrets
After SeJoo visited ShiHyun at the hospital and ascertained his breakup with TaeHee, he reported back to SooJi. This is their conversation: SJoo: He doesn’t’ remember that night. SH and TH are completely over. That means your bet is over, too. SJ: Why should I heat that from you? SJoo: In case SH kept it […]
Throwback Thursday: Goblin
I’m slowly moving a few of my posts from soompi over here for archiving. One of these days, I’ll delete that account. 😀 You don’t have to read this. This is one of my more serious and philosophical posts. ******************************************** From fikachuuu: Sorry to cut your post and this may sound like a stupid question […]
