When the Phone Rings: Ep 4, part 2
Sorry for the delay. There was chaos everywhere…. I did a rough timeline here: When the Phone Rings: Ep 4 My Commentary, Part 1 Let’s continue. 5. The interview Since @GB doesn’t have access to the subbed episode, I’ll just go over what transpired during the job interview of HeeJoo (HJ). SaEon (SE) doesn’t plan on […]
When the Phone Rings: Ep 4 My Commentary, Part 1
If I were to give a title to this episode, it would be something like “Breaking the Silence.” 1. Making sounds In the beginning of the episode, HeeJoo (HJ) breaks down in tears beside SaEon (SE). Her emotional distress causes her to forget that she’s supposed to be mute. SE notices it instantly. SE: You’re […]
What Are We Watching in December 2024?
Here’s an update on the four dramas I had on my Watch list last month: “Brewing Love,” which I dropped after 30 minutes of Ep 1, because it was slow. I’ll give it a second chance once all 12 episodes are out. That way I can skip the boring parts. Besides, I can’t resist the […]
When the Phone Rings: Ep 3 Quick Takes
Spoilers abound, obviously. 1. When SaEon (SE) wakes up in the hospital, he’s informed right away that: a. he’s brought to a Dr. Kim’s hospital. I’m assuming he’s in a private hospital and the doctor can be trusted. b. his team wasn’t seriously injured. Yeahhhh, right. After the fiery explosion?! I expected the arms of […]

Love Your Enemy: Ep 1 & 2 First Impressions
I recommend this if you want something funny and familiar. We know well the tropes of a story about enemies turned into lovers, but I like that this show has some quirks to make it unique. For instance, two leads share the same names and birthdates. I’ve never seen that before. To avoid confusion, I […]
When the Phone Rings: Ep 2 My Notes
Come back later please. I lost my notes and must rewatch to remind myself. on weakness, his and hers cat-and-mouse game the biggest loser
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! Since Thanksgiving is not just about getting food coma from all that turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and pumpkin pie, I’ll include this Song of Thanksgiving, from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 12. On that day, you will say: I give you thanks, O LORD; though you have been angry with me, your […]

I pay annual subscriptions to: Netflix without the ads Viki Pass Plus because I wanted immediate access to shows, without ads Youtube Premium because I can’t be bothered with the ads on regular Youtube Prime Video, but technically, this came free with my Amazon Prime membership Paramount+ (What’s this? I never used it. It came […]
When the Phone Rings: Ep 1 Quick Notes
Episode 1 was riveting. I think the screenwriter Kim JiWoon did a good job of fleshing out the original webtoon. I haven’t seen any of her previous kdramas (“Melancholia,” “Doctor John,” and “Hyde, Jekyll and Me”) but the director’s work is familiar to me. He did “Forbidden Marriage” (2022) with Kim YoungDae as the broken-hearted […]
