The thread is open. source: xiaolanhua’s tumblr I like this scene for a few reasons: one, he wasn’t a mean drunk, two, she didn’t take advantage of his drunken state to molest him, (ha!) and three, he doubled down on telling her that he liked her. His moves were so confusing. He was flirting with […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 6 On “Some” Relationships
Reposting this before I forgot that I had it on password-protect. Sorry. –pm3 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Although HaNeul made clear from the introductory narration that “ambivalence” was the theme of the episode, I think we were shown how this “ambivalence” converted into a “some” between her and JungWoo. Here’s her monologue. HaNeul: Six years of college. A […]

B3tch Talk: On Scene Transitions
Don’t mind me. I’m organizing my notes from this Youtube video. According to Studiobinder, there are nine ways to seamlessly connect scenes together. Whenever I can, I’m getting examples from the show I’m currently watching, “Doctor Slump.” 1. Fade – when a shot fades or “dissolves” to or from a solid color – solid color: […]
An Incurable Case of Love: Open Thread
I just learned that this dorama (jdrama) was recently added on Netflix. For now, the old posts for this jdrama can be found either under its original Japanese name, “Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo” or its alternate English title, “Love Last Forever.” When I have time, I’ll update the categories. Anyway, this is […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 8 On Zero-Sum Fallacy
In my write-up for Episode 7, I explained how the “kidney bean incident” distorted JungWoo’s perception of life and left him needing affirmation. In this episode, I say it’s a “zero-sum” mentality that warps HaNeul’s worldview and causes her to self-isolate. Let’s begin with her brother BaDa’s long monologue about her. I didn’t think it […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 7 On Seminal Moments
I like the simplicity of this episode for three reasons. Reason #1. The mystery behind the death of the Macau heiress was solved but not before JungWoo wised up to who his real friends were. In a sense, the flashback at the beginning of the episode was an appropriate introduction because the malpractice lawsuit was […]
Marry My Husband: Ep 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is open. I read somewhere that the cast members are going on a trip (Vietnam??) to celebrate the successful run of the show. Hope they fun; they deserve it. Enjoy the show!
Doctor Slump: Ep 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is open. Watching this couple interact, I’m convinced that great friends do make the best lovers. Incompatibility isn’t an issue. The outlooks and goals in life, if not similar, are aligned. The quirky sense of humor (or weirdness) is appreciated. And there’s sheer pleasure in each other’s company. I enjoy watching these two […]
Hidden Love: Quick Update
@agdr03, I haven’t forgotten my Valentine’s Day promise. I restarted watching Ep 23 yesterday, and am about halfway done with Ep 24 today. I stopped after their trip to his mom’s cemetery. Will try to write this weekend. In the meantime, I found this BTS of their Ep 24 couch kiss.

Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Feb 16?
This Lenten tradition on this blog started three years when I asked @agdr03 for a good seafood dish, and she told me to cook fish with oyster sauce. Oyster sauce??? It wouldn’t be a hyperbole to say that oyster sauce opened a whole new world for me. I thought soy sauce and fish sauce were […]
Doctor Slump: Ep 5 My Highlights, part 1
If Episode 4 centered around JungWoo’s mistaken belief that he was HaNeul’s first love, then this episode revolved around HaNeul’s growing suspicion that JungWoo was in love with her. But before I begin, let me circle back to Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” In my Ep 4 highlights, I compared JungWoo with Benedick from the […]
