A Thread For @FGB4877
I’m creating a special thread for our friend, @FGB4877. We’re here, @FGB4877, if you want a listening ear and emotional support in these troubled times. I often find engaging in conversation, swapping stories, sharing frustrations, finding humor in the chaos, and simply talking about the mundane can help restore perspective, balance, and faith. I’m moving […]
Serendipity’s Embrace: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. I tried to finish Ep 5 but fell asleep. Will catch up later. Let’s enjoy the show.
The Princess Royal: Ep 2 My Observations
It’s easy to side with Pei WenXuan (PWX) in this episode. The Spring Banquet is Li Rong’s event, and she has an axe to grind. She hears from her maid that PWX accepted her invitation with conceit. PWX: (smugly) Though I’m not capable, I’m blessed with good looks. This response naturally vexes her. But I […]
The Princess Royal: Ep 1 My Notes
The first episode is dense material, so I need time to disentangle what I see as relevant elements. 1. The title, “The Princess Royal” The title is to the point. There’s a difference between a “royal princess” and a “Princess Royal.” In case you didn’t know… The former is broad. It refers to the daughter(s) […]

Serendipity’s Embrace: Eps 3 & 4 Open Thread
The thread is open. Frankly speaking, I was exasperated with the female lead, HJ, in Episode 3. HY was right to point out that she was as “clueless and dumb as ever.” In the same way that she was annoyed with him for ignoring her BFF’s letters, I’m annoyed with her for ignoring his nonverbal […]

Only For Love: Open Thread
Ignore me. I’m opening this thread as a reminder to watch this Cdrama starring Dylan Wang, the dude from “Love Between Fairy and Devil” and Bai Lu, one of my favorite Chinese actresses. It’s available on Viki. 36 episodes. (oh dear…) Synopsis from viki. Determined to land a front-page story, reporter Zheng Shu Yi (Bai Lu) […]
My Sweet Mobster: Open Thread
The thread is open. I know I’m late to the party; I’m only on Episode 2 and the series is about to end next week. I don’t know what to expect about the show. The non sequiturs are everywhere. For example, the male lead retired from his thug life to set up a meat production […]
Serendipity’s Embrace: Episode 2 My Highlights
What I like about the hero Kang HuYeong (HY) is that he isn’t in denial about his feelings for Lee HongJu (HJ). The previous episode ended with him hinting at her that he had feelings for her. HY: I’m sorry, but mine has already started to thaw. Outwardly, he was talking about the bag of […]
Falling In Love With You Is the Best Thing I Have Ever Done: 2024 Update
We’ve been waiting for this cdrama ever since “Love O2O” (2016) starring Yang Yang and she-who-must-not-be-named. We thought it would be their comeback show. Falling in Love with You is the Best Thing I Have Ever Done: Yang Yang’s Next Drama??? Falling in Love with You is the Best Thing I Have Ever Done: Coronavirus […]
Serendipity’s Embrace: Episode 1 My First Impressions
I think this is good show to binge-watch when all 8 episodes are out on Viki, but I need a “therapy kdrama” right now so I’m streaming it. My first impressions: 1. The first few minutes of Episode 1 were annoyingly pretentious. For one, the title “Serendipity’s Embrace” is the kind of word salad I […]
