Hwayugi: The Kakao Talk

I was reading my friend mslee1107’s blog on Hwayugi’s Kakaotalk and she mentioned how ridiculously funny it was that OhGong was the only individual not included in the chatgroup. Yes, it’s also ironic when we stop to consider that the nexus of their connection – or the reason for their being acquainted with each other […]

Jugglers: Episode 12

Episode 12 Title: Be Careful. There are No Secrets So far, so good. The writer makes complete sense to me. This is the kind of story I like because the lead characters are steady and rational. You see, I understand that kdramas use makjang tropes to make the drama interesting and to force our couple […]

Just Bitching: Pet Peeve #35

Rooftop apartments with flimsy external metal staircases. I don’t know why kdramas make rooftop apartments romantic. Without air-conditioning or heater, it must be brutally hot there in the summer and cold as tundra in the winter. Then those staircases? They must be a pain when you have sack-loads of groceries to bring up in the […]

Just Bitching: Bromance

Pet Peeve #16 Fine! Call it “bromance” if the story revolves around two homosexual males involved in a romantic relationship with each other. But if we’re talking about a close, platonic relationship between two heterosexual males, then there are far better terms to use than bromance. Call it what it is: male bonding, camaraderie, fellowship […]

Hwayugi: Jokes and Metas

Jokes, parodies, etc. Another thing I like about the Hong Sisters is their zippy jokes. Blink and you’ll miss them. I don’t normally like to explain jokes because it kills the joke. However, sometimes an explanation is in order so other bitches will learn to recognize them next time and appreciate the wit of the […]

Hwayugi: Episode 4 (Not Love)

But is it ❤️ that OhGong feels for SunMi? The Hong sisters are twisted sisters. They begin their dramas where other writers end theirs. For instance, in other romcoms, the love confession of the hero means that a happily-ever-after is imminent. In Hwayugi, I believe that every love declaration of OhGung actually shows his growing mockery […]

Just Bitching: Kdrama Pet Peeve #15

Head Wounds. Okay. I understand that there’s always a hospital scene in kdramas because, like Subway and Starbucks, drama writers get a kickback from the Hospital PPL. But directors should work on their head traumas. 1. First, the wound site. The wrapped-around bandage is gleaming white except for this spot of bloodstain conveniently located on […]

We already have our first nominee for the BKB of the Week award — courtesy of my friend and blogger mslee1107.  Thank you!! He’s a tsundere male!
