Hwayugi: Where the Wild Things Are

I remember in their hit romcom, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, the Hong sisters did an excellent re-interpretation of Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Little Mermaid” so I’m not surprised that they did the same thing here with Maurice Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things Are.” I read this book to my sons when they were young […]

Hwayugi: Love Triangle

Because I’m a bitch, I’m going to say what people secretly think but dare not say about this new guy, Jonathan. He looks undistinguished. His hair is grungy (doesn’t he have a hair stylist/coordi?); he has this samchoon aura instead of oppa; he wears fuddy-duddy clothes; he looks light-weight; he isn’t tall and muscular; he’s scrawny; and he […]

In Memoriam: CatchMine_ID

A good friend of mine from soompi passed away last weekend. She was a sunny, inquisitive, and kind-hearted soul and we’ll all miss her. Please pray for her eternal repose. (edited 4/18/2022) I’m dedicating this song from Goblin, “Beautiful Life,” to her.

Hwayugi: The Significance of the Fur Coats

Ohgong’s wardrobe of fur coats and his shift to woolen coats weren’t accidental. (Note all pics are from Dramabeans site, except for one. That site has nice pictures.) In the beginning, he wore fur coats. To me, these served to emphasize his personality trait, that he was a monkey at heart. In the same way […]

Jugglers: Waiting for Subs

Looking at these behind the scenes shots.   hahaha. The height difference. He can use her head as a chin rest… if she tiptoes. With wet hair, she looks like something the cat dragged in from the rain while he looks like he just came out of the shower. Manner hands here…. but manner hands […]

Of course, MaWang was seriously offended that his formidable bull had undergone a “sex reassignment” of sorts and was transformed […]
