The Hong sisters didn’t overlook the blood in menstruation. I know that some people found it baffling how SunMi could have survived all these years from demons attracted to her lotus-flower smelling blood when she had monthly periods. Well, at the top of my head, I can think of two plausible answers. The first answer […]
Just Bitching: The Obligatory Post on Shower Scenes
Fake Shower Scenes. I recently observed that all legit kdrama blogs post about shower scenes with gazillions of pics included “as evidence.” Since this is my smarty-pants blog, I’m not going to drool over pics but will bitch (no surprise here, right?) about shower scenes. You see, the shower scene is a written law for all […]
Bitch Talk: How do you pick your next drama?
Serial Kdrama Speed-Dating. This post by Oppa’s Goddness (one of the ex-soompier Julies) is too good to be kept hidden in the comment section. She said: I don’t think I’m an avid kdrama fans. I don’t watch most of kdramas that exist, but I kinda keep update with the news.. I usually do -I call […]

Episode 7 Title: Because This is My First YOLO Hey, Oppa’s Goddess, if we’re going to discuss BTIMFL, let’s do it out here in the open because that original post is going to get buried after a while. I’m not a techie, so it will take me time (more than three days, lol) to discover […]
Because This is My First Life (BTIMFL): Episode 11
Episode 11 Title: Because This is My First Beach First things first: we need a bus route to give us an idea where this Namhae Beach was. If you want a recap, I highly recommend going to the dramabeans site. As I said elsewhere, I love how attentive the recappers are when describing the scenes. […]

Just Bitching: Kdramas’ New Year’s Resolutions
Resolutions, part 1. I’m ordering this partial list (more to follow) New Year’s Eve resolutions for the improvement of kdramas and the enhancement of viewing pleasure of bitches like me. These resolutions requires neither the approval of netizens and i-netizens nor the signatures of conglomerates such soompi and dramabeans, and they do not have the […]
Bitchcraft: The Sacred and the Profane
On the use of profanity. I allow profanity here. I’m not going to install cutesy filler words to replace cusswords. I’m going to assume that you, as classy-act and smart bitches, have made an informed decision why there’s merit to your use of swear words. Frankly, I’d rather read a post that goes something like, […]

Jugglers: Episode 7
Episode 7 Title: To Trust and To Understand In this kdrama, the title hints at the message of the story, and in this particular episode, the Beginning and Ending served as pretty bookends to the theme: to trust and understand. It’s not all about pretty rainbows and cinematography, you know. The “beautiful backlit glow” had […]
Jugglers: Episode 3
Jugglers Episode 3 Title: Too Much Happened to Pretend that Nothing Happened I’m beginning to love this bitchy blog concept. I can skip all over the place and nobody’s going to bellyache or question my sanity. I’m skipping now to Episode 3 because the stormy weather intrigues me. Did you notice it too? How the elements […]
Hwayugi (Korean Odyssey): Hong Sisters’ Tricks of the Trades
Some things never change in a Hong Sisters’ drama…. 1. Remember this expression and the hand gesture for “Kkeojyeo!” from the drama “Master’s Sun”? So Ji Sub’s “Get lost!” = Cha Seung Won’s “You pass!” 2. Flashback. The flashback at the beginning of Episode 2 wasn’t as clear as it could have been. The scene […]

Hwayugi (Korean Odyssey): Episodes 1 and 2
For twenty-five years, he was at her side. I don’t think the monkey guy OhGong disappeared from Jin SunMi’s life. On the contrary, he had always been protecting her without her knowing it. 1. Observe his character. a. Because he ate free ice cream all the time, he repaid the ice cream guy with the teapot. […]
