I like it when the kdrama has titles per episode. It tells me where the screenwriter is going with the story, and what to write about in my review. 1. “Only You” For GuWon, it refers to DoHee. Like in any typical kdrama, the title underscores the shift in feelings of our hero Jung Gu […]

The blog appears to be experiencing trouble right now. Hang tight. I’m traveling right now and I’ll look into it when I get home this afternoon. Don’t let minors access the site now. 🙂 Meanwhile, enjoy the weekend! -pm3
Castaway Diva: Ep 5 Regret vs Pride
Was there anybody else confused by the shifting perspective on the theme “regret vs pride,” like me? 1. The show first began with the conventional understanding of “regret vs pride.” Simply put, when people value their pride more than anything, they’ll soon be left with plenty of regrets. RanJoo’s mom expressed this kind of outlook […]

My Demon: Ep 4 Sweet But Dangerous
This is why I give the show 8 episodes to grow on me. Unless there’s a fatal flaw, I can get used to it. Here are my highlights. 1. The backstory of Madam Ju’s eldest child, Noh Sukmin a. 12 years ago, he killed someone while he was driving drunk and went to his mother, […]

My Demon: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. I like that he has a valid excuse to grab her wrist. He needs to access his demonic power which is sealed like a tattoo on her wrist. source: ingukk’s tumblr I also like this umbrella scene. source: ingukk’s tumblr It wasn’t captured by the gifs, but the director made sure […]
Castaway Diva: Ep 4 2008 vs 2022
Ostensibly, this episode is about RanJoo competing with her former self, or as the emcee hyped it, an aging star battling with a millennium diva. Most viewers will assume that’s what the title “2008 vs 2022” is referring to. I want you, however, to consider other possibilities. 1. For BoGyeol, he wanted no competition – […]

Moon in the Day: Ep 10 A Quick Note
Two valid complaints about this drama, and my response. 1. “The story feels disjointed.” Yes, even I can see that it’s disjointed. However, I say that it’s INTENTIONAL that everything feels fragmented at this point and it’s actually a sign of a well-crafted script. You see, we’re supposed to feel the onslaught of revelations. We […]
