Bitch Talk: Re. 20/20 Hindsight in “Marry My Husband”
@Cleopatra posed a question on the “Marry My Husband” thread. I’m reposting it out here on the blog to give all a dedicated space to answer it. The responses don’t need to tie in with the drama. @Cleopatra asked, “Would you change yourself and your life if you were given the chance?” @OldAmericanLady, @Phoenix, @GB, […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 5 What Happened at Seonhwa Temple
Ep 5. What happened at Seonhwa Temple More than anything, it helps to understand the sense of HUMOR of the screenwriter in order to understand what she wants to communicate. The title alludes to the old tourism slogan for Las Vegas, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” The slogan pitches freedom to do anything […]

My Happy Marriage: Open Thread
The thread is open. This is for @Fern who likes this Japanese movie. It’s on Youtube. It’s an hour and 40 minutes long. The comic version is on Netflix. 12 episodes, 24 minutes each.

Bitch Talk: On Leading Actors for 2024
I came upon a 2022 list on mydramalist of male and female actors who the author thought “deserve” to have main lead roles after slogging through many supporting roles. By MAIN lead role, the list-creator meant the hero who prevails in the end, and wins the girl’s heart, and not just the hapless “other guy.” […]

My Demon: Eps 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is open. source: romcomedy’s tumblr Trust me. This whole brushing-your-teeth-and-spitting-out-the-toothpaste-together act is only cute in kdramas. Because guess what you have to do next? Floss! Will you floss each other’s teeth, too? Ewww. Plus, once you have double sinks in your master bathroom, you’ll never look at a single sink the same way. […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 3 On the Ssangyeonsulsa
Ep 3 I think I am Ssangyeonsulsa Ssangyeonsulsa = agent of love = Cupid, Joseon-style 1. From “goddess of love” to “agent of love” Back in Episode 1, as JungWoo’s voiceover described what a Ssangyeonsulsa was, we watched SoonDeok’s method of matchmaking up-close. She was tying a Dongsingyeol knot, which in Korean folk art, is […]
Yummy Food, Cool Dude, and Great Editing
I don’t know what sort of algorithm Youtube did, but this guy’s shorts (“short videos” not his underpants, ok?) started appearing on my feed. And now I’m thirsty hungry.
