Best Kdrama Boyfriend Award. I’m announcing the start of this blog’s weekly Best Kdrama Boyfriend (BKB) Award. You, smart readers, lurkers and posters, are all invited to nominate a male character from a kdrama of your choice. The drama does not have to be currently playing. It can be a drama that recently concluded (like […]
Jugglers: Episode 11
Episode 11 Title: Is The Past Really Powerless? These are my commentaries. Nothing profound, nothing serious, nothing mind-blogging. Just my ordinary notes in keeping with this ordinary episode. 1. Sex is not a four-letter word. When you’re a couple, it’s normal to desire that physical intimacy. Thus, I don’t get why CW doesn’t want YY […]
Hwayugi: Yellow Umbrellas
Yellow Umbrellas. This scene from Hwayugi was cute but… I’m tired of yellow umbrellas. If I were to believe in kdramas, the only choice of color for umbrellas for girls in love is yellow. Where’s the diversity?? I want a clear umbrella so I can see where I’m going. See these? From Love Rain: From Splash […]
Just Bitching: Gong Yoo’s bro
Today I discovered there exist some things even more humiliating than being friend-zoned. Like being “bro-zoned” and you’re a girl. soompi article: https://www.soompi.com/2018/01/08/gong-yoo-jung-yoo-mi-respond-marriage-reports/ If I were Jung Yoo Mi, I’d give that “nameless source” at our agency this present on Valentine’s Day for this comment: “The marriage rumors between Gong Yoo and Jung Yoo Mi aren’t […]
Hwayugi: Episode 3
When it comes to developing memorable fantasy-romcom characters, I find that nobody can beat the Hong sisters. They’re a perfect example of why two heads are better than one. Give them an ordinary tale or legend, and they can twist it into something unpredictable, unexpected, and unforgettable. I’ve always credited their sisterhood for creating a […]
Jugglers: Episode 1, notes 1
Bitch notes. I’m releasing my notes as-is as I don’t have much time to make these pretty. Hopefully, they’ll make sense. -edited to add: Still uncertain if CW is the Managing Director of In-House Video at this YB branch, but also the (missing, unheard of, silent) VP at the Seoul headquarters of YB. That “new” […]
Just Bitching: Kdrama Pet Peeves
#3 Pet Peeve Because it’s a Sunday, and I’m supposed to be angelic today, my incoming vent is limited to mere 99,999 words. Sleepwear. For the life of me, I don’t understand why characters in kdramas don’t wear nightclothes. They have expensive phones, 16 coats and 16 bags (a different one for each episode), but […]
Jugglers: Episode 1
Episode 1 Title: Wherever the boss is, whatever happens… the jugglers appear lol. I’m the boss around here — and the juggler — so this post is still in the pipeline. **************** As I’ve said to Oppa’s Goddess (OG), I refrained from posting on Jugglers’ Episode 1 because I typically include spoilers in my comments […]
Just Bitching: Hwayugi OTL Song
OTL not OST. I like this song but… (sigh) I have to get it out of my head. Take note, beetches. Somebody/something can be ahead of you in front of you But it can’t be behind OF you. It’s always behind you. Behind you!
Jugglers: Episode 10
Episode 10 Title: You know it’s a secret. With only 6 episodes left, and 3 more weeks to go, we’ve reached the pinnacle of the romcom: the couplehood! This is the stage where our couple allow themselves to be more natural in front of their other half and delight in every little thing she/he does. […]
Bitch SOS: Who’s the Monkey King?
A bitch in need is a bitch indeed. I need your help. (No, I’m not soliciting for money, lol). I don’t know zilch about the legends of the Monkey King and I’m requesting some intel, the 411, and/or background info on his character. I’ve never heard of the Monkey King before so he’s a totally […]
Bitch Talk: On Double-Bagging (Not Groceries)
Public Service Announcement. While discussing Because This is My First Life, Episode 7 with Oppa’s Goddess, I remembered that there was a misinformation in one scene that needed to be corrected ASAP. I’ll do it here as a public service — One of the girls, Horang, ordered her boyfriend to wear two condoms as a […]
Just Bitching: Couple Holidays
Chicken or the egg? I sometimes wonder what the correlation is between these Couple Holidays and kdramas’ obsession for “events” and over-the-top love declaration. Did Couple Holidays inspire kdramas to stage elaborate proposal scenes or did kdramas prompt couples to outdo themselves in celebrating their love? Whatever it is, I’m glad that I’m married and too […]
Jugglers: Episode 9
Episode 9 Title: They pretended they did not. If you haven’t started watching Jugglers, you’re missing out on a sweet treat. (Staygold and USAFarmgirl, where are you??!! I’ve been leaving you a trail of crumbs to follow me here. — edited: You’re both here!! ) This is one of the gentle romances that I gravitate […]
