I don’t do recaps so let me get down to the brass tacks. My notes will come in two parts. 1. The epilogue in Episode 1 Don’t miss this. There were two scenes meshed in the epilogue of Episode 1. First scene. During the Royal King’s birthday festivities (and sometime before the explosion in the […]
Yumi’s Cells Season 3: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
I didn’t finish Season 1, and I skipped Season 2 because I had little patience for the emotional rollercoaster of her love life. I tuned in, however, for the premiere of this final season as she’s supposedly meeting her last love and true love, Shin Soon-rok (SSR). I was hoping that she’d learn from her […]
Imaginary Cat: Ep 1 Rewatch on Sat April 11
The thread is open. Here’s @GB’s intro for the show. There will be 8 episodes of around 30-40 minutes each. This series was first aired some 10 years ago!!! We get to see a younger and maybe slightly happier Yoo Seung Ho in this drama compared to when he was in “Remember: War of the […]
What Are We Watching in April 2026?
I’m back stateside, but I’m feeling under the weather. Nothing serious. Give me a couple of days, and I should be as right as rain. Here’s what I’m watching this month. (BTW, I just signed up for Kocowa premium membership. It’s my reward to myself for working relentlessly these past few weeks.) @GB, which show […]

What Are We Watching in March 2026?
Now that “To My Beloved Thief” has happily ended last weekend, I can’t wait for the next drama to give my single-minded focus. I’m raring to go. Unfortunately, however, there isn’t many to choose from. Yu Yoon Seok has “Phantom Lawyer” with Esom but as you know, I don’t watch legal dramas. I may have […]
To My Beloved Thief: On Rectifying “Red Sleeve”
“Red Sleeve” (2021) is one of those kdramas, like “Twenty-Five, Twenty-One” that has the (dis)honor of getting the epithet “k-trauma.” According to google ai, there are the four reasons for the audience’s discontent. I’ll go over them briefly, then show how “To My Beloved Thief” (TMBF) resolves those issues. First, a brief note on the […]
To My Beloved Thief: On Sartorial Elegance
No doubt I’m not the only one who noticed the lovely hanboks of the Grand Prince. But instead of merely gushing over them, I’ll do a deep dive into the extra layers they add to the story. I’ll do the first four episodes because that’s all the time I have now. Episode 1 Seeing his […]
To My Beloved Thief: Ep 16 On HEA, continued
There are some who quibble that the ending isn’t a happily-ever-after, so let me just go over some points. 1. Happiness is fleeting, but contentment is enduring. I get it. All fairy tales end with, “And they lived happily ever after,” so we’re conditioned to strive for happiness, and to set a yardstick or conditions […]
