Just a quick note before you all go down the rabbit hole…. There are seemingly two mysteries in the romance. Let’s not conflate the two. The first mystery is the whereabouts of the adult Jung KiHo. The second is the identity of female lead Seo MokHa’s “One True Match” or OTM. Who will be her […]
Castaway Diva: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
Here’s the thread, as requested by our resident Divo, @WEnchanteur. I’ll chime in later to give my two cents on the one-true-pair (OTP). I’m sure the lurkers from “Start Up”– the haters and fans of this blog, alike — are waiting to see what I have to say on the male lead’s identity because I […]

Strong Girl Namsoon: Ep 8 Light and Shadow of Gangnam
This will be quick because I need to write reviews for the other shows. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 The title has three interpretations. The first is the obvious one. Namsoon was depressed because one of her coworkers at Doogo died from over-exhaustion. Heesik: Everything was caught on his dashcam. He died from the energy drinks he kept drinking […]

The Matchmakers: OST “Half of My Heart”
I believe this is the first time that I’m posting the OST before my First Impressions. But this is music just brightened up my day. It made me feel like dancing. Needless to say I’m down for this drama. “Half of My Heart” Sung by Theo of P1Harmony (Is this a new boygroup??) As for […]
Strong Girl Namsoon: Ep 7 Moonbow
A “moonbow” is a lunar rainbow. As we all know, a rainbow occurs when sunlight reflects on water droplets in the atmosphere. On the flip side, a moonbow occurs when moonlight reflects on water droplets. When you think about this, though, moonlight is the sun’s rays reflected off the moon. So to me, a moonbow […]

Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in November 2023?
November will be a daunting month for those with an extreme fear of missing out, better known as FOMO. I counted no less than five dramas with engaging storylines to premiere this month. I’ll have to be very picky about which dramas to add to my pile since I still have “Strong Woman Namsoon,” “A […]

The Matchmakers: Open Thread
The thread is open. I must say that Rowoon is one industrious idol-turned-actor. He did “Extra-Ordinary You” in 2019, “She Would Never Know” and “The King’s Affection” in 2021, “Tomorrow” in 2022, and “Destined With You” and this drama in 2023. I’m glad that he’s making hay while the sun shines. This drama is about […]
Hidden Love: Ep 22 On Romance
If you’re watching on Netflix, the title of this episode is “Resplendent. See the stars with you.” But if you’re watching on Youku, the title is “Romance. To see the stars with you.” I don’t know about you, but I prefer Youku’s translation to Netflix’s. “Resplendent” only means dazzling, magnificent; and I didn’t see anything […]

Strong Girl Namsoon: Episode 6 Quick Takes
I should have known that the road to hell is indeed paved with good intentions. I plunged into this series with the good intentions of dissecting Episode 6 for the readers of Bitches, but now I’m regretting it because I just added more work for myself. The title of this episode is “Mystery X.” It […]
