@BethB, You commented on the “Happy New Year” thread: • The Matchmakers (Viki) – I really liked it, just didn’t love it. I agree with you. I like “The Matchmakers” for these reasons: a) the heroine. She was refreshingly resourceful and reasonable, unlike the heroine in the female lead “Park’s Marriage Contract.” From start to […]

Death’s Game: Eps 5 to 8 Open Thread
The thread is open, @GB. Here are some gifs of Lee JaeWook. You all know I like this actor — not personally, because I don’t know anything about him — but artistically so I’ll post gifs of him. Lol. source: moonlightsdream’s tumblr What episode was he on? I’ll watch that. 🙂 Enjoy the show!
My Demon: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
The thread is open. Boooooo. So, Noh SukMin is the devil and not Oppa Ju SeokHoon? I concede that SukMin is the ultimate killing machine, having offed his mother, his partner in crime aka the Psoriasis Guy, and his son (indirectly). But Ju SeokHoon is still not off my Villain List. Let’s enjoy the show.

Marry My Husband: Open Thread
The thread is open, @Cleopatra. source: ingguk’s tumblr I know Park Min Young’s weight has been an ongoing issue with the k-netizens so I’m going to limit myself to just one comment. When she appeared as a cancer patient in the first few minutes of the show, I had no trouble believing it given how […]
Like Flowers in the Sand: Open Thread
The thread is open. This will be my sports drama of the season. I liked the wholesomeness of the other sports drama I’ve seen, “Racket Boys” (2021), and I’m hoping this one will follow suit. I don’t know much about ssireum, or the Korean traditional wrestling, so this show should be educational for me. Episode […]
What Are We Watching in January 2024?
It should not be a secret that I’ve long admired — and envied — those with a literature background. Being unromantic, I’m not naturally wired to see harmony and synthesis in the world so I struggle to evoke them with words. Here’s a poem “The Year” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox which encapsulates how I feel […]
Happy New Year!
Happy 2024! Here’s to a new year filled with… kdramas by screenwriters and actors we like, cdramas with less than 24 episodes, doramas with leavening content, understanding friends, caring family members, loving spouses, good health, good fortune, gpod times, memorable trips, happy reunions, spiritual renaissance, sunlight and moonlight, chocolate and seafood, our favorite things, peace […]

Love Me, Love My Voice: Ep 30 to 33 Open Thread
The thread is open. Enjoy the finale!
The Matchmakers: Ep 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is open. Here you go, @BethB. Two things: This is the first drama by Rowoon that I completed after “ExtraOrdinary You” (2019). That’s saying something. And I like the female lead. She wasn’t stupid, codependent, impulsive (like the silly female lead in “The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract), abrasive (like the female lead […]
Merry Christmas!
Have a blessed Christmas, everyone! The Birth of Jesus. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee […]
The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. Although I’m disappointed with this drama, let’s just say that “Hope springs eternal in every human breast.” Even mine, apparently. Enjoy the show.
