Please ignore me. I like this kdrama so I’m paying more attention when my time permits. Methinks, the screenwriter Ha SuJin by such an expert matchmaker herself by the way she entangled the main and secondary characters together in plausible situations. I couldn’t find a supporting character whose screentime could have been eliminated without affecting […]
Knight Flower: Eps 1 to 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. I’m not sure if you will be interested in another period drama set in the Joseon era with a widow as a heroine so soon after “The Matchmakers” but I’m opening this thread anyway. I think “The Matchmakers” is better written but this has three things going for it. One, the […]
Marry My Husband: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. The “Clark Kent” trope source: ingguk’s tumblr The Obligatory Shower Scene. source: ingguk’s tumblr That’s the dorkiest tattoo I’ve ever seen on a guy’s chest. I hope his costars on 2D1N won’t poke fun at him too much for the stick-on tattoo. Let’s enjoy the show.
My Demon: On Bogus Religion, part 2
@GB, I’ll answer you out here. It’s easier. You said, Hi @pkml3, I’m taking meds and resting as well. I’m supposed to be at a half-day event now, but had to bail because of the virus. Before the medication makes me too sleepy, I thought I’d just add my 2 cents. (Now that I’m re-reading […]

My Demon: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
The thread is open. For somebody who hasn’t set foot in Hell, GuWon surely comes to close to it often. Ep 2: He took the acid slash for DoHee. Ep 3: He was beaten up by the gangsters; his head was almost bludgeoned. Ep 5: He fell off the penthouse terrace with DoHee. Ep 7: […]
My Demon: Ep 12 On Bogus Religion
Episode title: The Savior of Destruction The title is an oxymoron. How can someone be considered a savior and protector when he wreaks destruction? To save and protect is the opposite of to destroy and ruin. But oh well…we get who the title refers to. 1. It’s Guwon. His name means “salvation” and DoHee regards […]
Marry My Husband: Ep 4 Quick Takes
This episode is fun especially if you’re Na InWoo’s fan. (side-eyeing @Cleopatra and @Fern) The first three episodes set up the details of the female lead’s world: her cancer and abominable husband in 2023, then her time-travel to 2013. So it’s about time that this fourth episode shifted attention to the other half aka male […]

My Demon: Ep 11 A Paradise of the Ominous
Episode title: A Paradise of the Ominous As I’ve always said, I like titles because they tell me where to focus my attention when I’m writing these commentaries. This episode marks a transition. For me, “a paradise of the ominous” is synonymous with a “calm before the storm.” 1. For GuWon, paradise means the restoration […]
A Good Day to Be a Dog: Eps 13 & 14 Final Open Thread
The thread is open. The last episode, Ep 14, is showing on Wednesday. Finally, we can binge-watch it. Do we know already why Lee BoGyeong cursed Haena’s ancestors? Do we still care? Let’s enjoy the show.
Marry My Husband: Ep 3 Quick Takes
Episode 3 is the type of show I would have loved to watch with @agdr03. With our lowbrow humor, we would have laughed our socks off at many scenes. Like, this one. Though we didn’t see MinHan’s male anatomy, there was no way it could have been intimidating in size. If I were the heroine […]
Marry My Husband: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
There’s a whole genre of kdrama that I’m unfamiliar with…by choice. It’s the kdrama with revenge, retribution, and reparation (or the 3 R’s). Examples of this genre include “Vicenzo” (2021), “Remarriage and Desires” (2022) and “Perfect Marriage Revenge” (2023). I’ve avoided these 3 R’s kdramas because, as much as the comeuppance of the villains is […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 14 On Sense and Sensibility
Episode Title: “Those who love more are the strongest.” I’ll circle back to my explanation of the title after I explain my theme for this episode. On sense and sensibility. One of the Jane Austen novels I like is “Sense and Sensibility.” It’s about two sisters: Elinor who exemplifies sense (restraint and good judgment) and […]
