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 […]

Hwayugi: Episode 4 after hours
Will I write a post on Hwayugi tonight? A. Yes B. A C. B D. All of the above. Give me two hours to detox from nasty Washington politics and I’ll post on Episode 4.
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 […]
Smart Bitches: BKB first nominee
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! Surly on the outside, sweety in the inside. He certainly qualifies as a boyfriend material that we kdrama aficionados love and recognize. Character Name: Kim TaeHo (KTH) Actor’s […]
Bitch Talk: Jugglers’ Couple Moments
My friend Staygold asked me this: Do tell me why you think Nam is being all cutesy with YY – The couple key chain, the secret hideout invite, the bunny slippers and what not! This man had a loving wife who he made feel lonely (her words, of course) Why do you think he couldn’t […]
Jugglers: The Obligatory Post on Daniel Choi’s Butt
Pertness has a new definition: Daniel Choi’s butt. It’s so cheeky it deserves a whole post of its own. You could say that I heard the booty call, and I answered. This reminded me of Bugs Bunny saying, “What’s up, Doc? “Butt’s up, Doc?” His forearm muscles? They have nothing compared to his gluteus maximus. We spanked hit […]
Smart Bitches: Best Kdrama Boyfriend (BKB) of the Week
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 […]
