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 […]

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 […]

Hwayugi: Lee Seunggi’s Heels

It was supposed to be a heart-throbbing moment when OhGong strode across the room to break up SunMi’s reunion with her “first love.” But to me, the fantasy of Lee Seunggi as The Boss was shattered the second I saw — The freaking heels of his shoes.  Are those 3 inches?!! They’re like clunky heels my […]

Hwayugi: Cotton Candy Metaphor, 2

As I said in another post, the problem with the GGG is that it has a good intention with a dire consequence. GGG was intended to *force* OG to protect SM in that same unconditional and spontaneous way a lover would shield his love from all harm. But because the contraption is artificial and pressed […]

Jugglers: Episode 14

Episode 14 Title: If It’s a Temporary Parting… This is noble idiocy done right. If a kdrama must have a temporary separation in the storyline, then couple ChiWon and YoonYi displayed how it should be properly handled. Let me list down the right things they did: 1. Keep their eyes on the big picture. I […]

Longing Heart: Episode 1

This has potential. I thought it was cheesy with the time travel approach to rectify a sad love story but I like the premise. Kang Shi Woo (the CNBlue tall guy) goes back in time to when he was in high school. He understands that his presence in the past changes everything. The future can […]

Just Bitching: Only in Kdramas…

Hand shielding her face from sunlight = romance Context: He gets on the bus and sees the sleeping girl. He doesn’t know her because he’s saying under his breath, “She’s in our grade but I’ve never seen her before. Maybe she’s a transfer student?” lol. Hand-shielding is a sweet gesture on kdramas, but if this […]
