Castaway Diva: Eps 1 & 2 A Quick Note on KiHo

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 […]

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 […]

The Matchmakers: Open Thread
