Yesterday, I was on twitter (Had my first tweet! I’m in the mainstream of social media now /sarc). There was a hashtag trending #MyWelcomeMatWouldRead. If I was single, this would be mine. Only kdrama bitches would understand. But this would be the other mat … as you come in from the garden. Petty petty petty
Hwayugi: On Children’s Books and Suicide
While many people are spazzing on reactivating kisses, I’d like to take the time to commend the very sensitive manner that the Hong sisters handled the theme of suicide in Episodes 9 and 10. Did you see it? I think they could have been a bit TOO subtle that it escaped the notice of many […]
Just Bitching: All Hail the Kdramas in Our Lives
Nobody needs to tell us that kdramas permeate our daily lives. We know the tell-tale signs. 1. Your #1 source of world news and report is kdrama. Breaking news: World War III is imminent. News source: Hwayugi, Episode 4. 2. You’re Oppa’s self-appointed pro bono legal counsel on the internet every time he gets in […]
Hwayugi: OhGong-erisms
The problem with OhGong is that he doesn’t say what he actually means: For instance, when he told the bookseller this: that should have clued us in that his feelings hadn’t transferred over. Remember, with SunMi, he said this: So, when he told SunMi this later when they met up, we know that “pretty” had […]
Habaek: On Shin Sucky One’s Terrible Acting
I groused about Oh Yeon Seo’s terrible ingénue act in Hwayugi, but I can forgive her because she redeems herself in the snarky scenes. But Shin Se Kyung was all-around ghastly in Habaek that, for the sake of my poor heart, I dropped that show a few minutes into Episode 4. She seemed to possess […]
Hwayugi: Episode 9 Random Comments
What did you think of Episode 9? Did you like it? I haven’t the time to watch Episode 10 so I’m just posting my 2 cent worth of ramblings on Episode 9. 1. The Mendelsohn’s Wedding March: The first time I viewed this opening scene, I thought the pianist flubbed the first seventh chord. It […]
Just Bitching: Are Tall Men a Cut Above?
Growing up with and living with tall men, I didn’t quite understand the fascination that kdrama fans have for big height differences in the couples. They seem to think that a tall man is a cut above the rest and that the small girl will be more protected by a giant of a guy. Well, […]
Bitch Talk: Lee Seo Jin Oppahjussi
My friend nonski dropped by and added another name to our ever growing list of oppahjussi or ahjussioppa (sounds like “Ah! Juicy oppa”). She said this: My Oppa: (pardon, I am not in the position to call them oppa but still…) … Lee Soo Jin because of his cockiness. Yes, how can I forget Lee […]
Smart Bitches: The 1st Best Kdrama Boyfriend (BKB)
Nam ChiWon of Jugglers. But before I start raving about him, I have to get something off my chest. IMO, Daniel Choi, the actor who played Nam Chi Won, is only handsome when he wears glasses.🤓 I’m going to be brutally honest here and observe that, without glasses, he looks rather seedy and grungy. It […]
Bitch Talk: Song Seong Heon Oppahjussi
Hey there, I’ve detected another oppahjussi, Oppa’s Goddess! Song Seong Heon. How could I have forgotten about him? Oh yeah, right … because I bleached him out of my mind after his disastrous role in that kdrama Dr Jin. I’m sorry that his romance with Ms Disney’s Mulan fizzled out but heyyyy, her loss is our gain. […]
Just Bitching: Luxury Cars in Kdramas
Pet Peeve #24 Chaebol people and rich characters drive luxury cars. They don’t drive cheap cars without all the latest safety features, and I wish kdrama writers would clue in on the newest technology. Look, I’m not remotely interested in cars. As long as it gets me to my destination, I’m fine with any four-, […]
Hwayugi: On Fate and Destiny
There’s this scene in Episode 7, when Secretary Ma asked Mawang which one would be better: a fated meeting or an arranged meeting. When Mawang replied a planned meeting, Secretary Ma smiled to herself because she knew something that Mawang didn’t know. Earlier, Jonathan had given her the picture of SunMi asking her help to […]
Hwayugi: Acts of Love or Not?
What do you think? Are these acts of love or not? 1. from Episode 2: Repairing her umbrella without being asked. 2. from Episode 5: Giving her his precious liqueur. 3. from Episode 7? Giving her the mermaid tears he earned from the Dragon Prince so she could experience a virtual reality experience with her […]
Just Bitching: My Un-Bucket List
“I want to kiss a fish,” said no one ever. So why are we getting these surprised, wide-eyed looks? Hey, if the love of my life is about to kiss me, and I’m going to pucker up and meet him halfway. gif credit: jischangwook’s tumblr Here is my list of kdrama things that are […]
