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 […]
Smart Bitches: The Rights of Kdrama Addicts
I was going to write a manifesto but I’m already on my third glass of red wine sooo 🤷♀️ (shrugs). This will have to do instead: The Declaration of the Universal Rights of Kdrama Addicts. We have the following rights and privileges. 1. the Right to appropriate Korean words and use them liberally in conversations with […]
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.
Bitch Talk: Mslee is Drowning in Dramas
Mslee writes: Here I go again..drowning myself in kdramas!😂😂😂 I can’t believe I am watching 7 series right now. I know this is not unusual for someone who is self proclaimed kdrama addict. But I have tried to lower down the numbers of dramas I watch recently. Relax and enjoy should be my motto. Don’t […]
Jugglers: Waiting for the Finale
While waiting, I trawled Tumblr. One of the cute scenes from Episode 15. A coat hug. photo credit: kali-naw’s tumblr Reminds me of the coat hug from Reply 1988. Good old days. Good old days. The wrap-up party. hahaha. He’s still wearing his glasses. And she’s still so adorable. Too bad she’s already in […]
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: Girl Crush
I’m 100% hetero but I can see why this actress would be mistaken as an oppa. Doesn’t she look handsome? lol. gifs credit: jkdramaniac This is her. Jung Hye-In.
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 […]
Hwayugi: Waiting for Subs Again
To pass the time…. A bull is a male cattle. A cow is a female cattle. The black and white spotted cattle is a Holstein cow which is the breed most famous for producing milk. Of course, MaWang was seriously offended that his formidable bull had undergone a “sex reassignment” of sorts and was transformed […]
Just Bitching: Winks for Monday
How I think I wink: How I think my husband winks: How I think Koreans wink: (just kidding….) 😆 Lee Jong Suk has a sweetheart of a wink. Happy Monday!!!💋

Smart Bitches: BKB Update
I haven’t forgotten the Best Kdrama Boyfriend Awards. 😇🏆 I’m still waiting for a certain romcom to end this week (cough. cough. Jugglers.) before announcing my first awardee. The first awardee recipient should be extra special. To set the bar for the succeeding BKBs, he should be the greatest kdrama boyfriend to ever NOT exist […]
Bitch Talk: My List of Oppa-Ahjussis
From Oppa’s Goddess: Packmule, LMH is serving in the army now. So nothing new from him, Korea is now in shortage of “oppa” actors. So many are serving in the army. LMH, JCW, KSH, Siwan, Taecyeon, etc. it’s time for “dongsaeng” actors or (one of my cousins name these older actor as) “oppahjussi” —> ahjussi […]
