In my travels, I’m often struck by how young the United States of America is relative to other nations. Here are some of the oldest civilizations according to the World Population Review: Iran (3200 BC), Egypt (3100 BC), Vietnam (2879 BC), Armenia (2492 BC), Korea (2333 BC), China (2070 BC), India (2000 BC), Israel (1300 […]

See You in My 19th Life: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. It’s taking me a while to warm up to this drama because I believe the lead actress is a miscast. There’s no denying that Shin Hye Sun is a capable actress but when it comes to showing aegyo, she knows diddly-squat. She’s supposed to be playing a 24 year old (or […]
King the Land: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. Memorable kdramas have over-the-top scenes which become iconic. Who can forget that parachute meet-cute in “Crash Landing on You” or Lee MinHo sitting astride a white horse in the middle of Gwanghwamun Square in “The King: Eternal Monarch” or the moment when the female lead in “W: Two Worlds” saw the […]

See You in My 19th Life: Eps 3 & 4 Open Thread
The thread is open. Tsk tsk tsk. Zero originality. This fish tank scene was ripped off from that iconic scene when Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo met Juliet in Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet” (1996) That moment when Leo raised his eyebrows at her (1:13) is what makes him a great actor. He can do these […]
King the Land: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
Three things. 1. The title, “King the Land” In English, there’s an idiom “to stick the landing,” which means to execute a flawless gymnastic routine, like an Olympic athlete dismounting from the unparalleled bars without hopping or slipping on the mat. In my opinion, to “king the land” is the opposite of a perfect performance. It […]

Dr. Romantic 3: Ep 15 The Game Changer
As predicted, the baepsae Dr. Kang got his comeuppance in this episode, and I’m loving it! Karma came knocking on his door to teach him a lesson about his divo attitude. Since Dr. Kang’s fangirls will likely gloss this incident over and wonder why their oppa was the only one whom Nurse Oh lectured, let […]
