I’ve delayed the write-up of Episode 3 because I’m too lazy to transcribe LiRong and Pei WenXuan’s (PWX) dialogue during the Go Game in Episode 2. Lol. I can’t shelve this task anymore because @agdr03 is going full steam ahead. lol. I’m using Netflix sub instead of Viki’s. Here goes…. The Go Game Li Rong […]

Are You the One: To Watch or Not to Watch?
As some of you can probably guess by now, I’m on vacation so I’ve time to pick up and binge-watch these cdramas. This drama “Are You the One?” has just began its run and as of today only seven of the slated 40 episodes are out on Viki. If you’re impatient to watch more episodes, […]

Snow Fall: To Watch or Not to Watch?
I have to temporarily (hopefully, it’s only temporary) halt my viewing of “The Princess Royal” to watch this vampire fantasy cdrama set during the Republican phase of China (1912 to 1949). The Republic period follows the collapse of imperial rule but precedes the communism era. The set design appears decadent, Westernized, and very stylized. By […]
Serendipity’s Embrace: Eps 7 & 8
The thread is open. This kdrama has been such a disappointment that I’ve set my bar low for this final week. Please, Show, just convince me that they’re meant to be! As of Episode 6, I think the male lead should walk away from her and get over his First Love disease. The old saying […]
Only For Love: The Kiss List
Let’s all thank @agdr03, our Resident Kiss Specialist (RKS), for compiling this list. She specializes in cdrama kiss scenes. Her previous work: Hidden Love: The Kiss List @agdr03, I only found one set of gifs from tumblr and it’s for Episode 19. That he had to remove his eyeglasses before kissing her made me laugh. […]
What Are We Watching in August 2024?
Have any of your shows been adjourned until after the Olympics? My favorite variety show “2D1N” resumes broadcast on Sunday, August 18th. I’m still bummed out that Na InWoo (“Marry My Husband”) and Yeon JungHoon (“Vampire Prosecutor”) have left the show, along with their main producing director – or PD, for short – PD Lee JungKyu. […]

A Thread For @FGB4877
I’m creating a special thread for our friend, @FGB4877. We’re here, @FGB4877, if you want a listening ear and emotional support in these troubled times. I often find engaging in conversation, swapping stories, sharing frustrations, finding humor in the chaos, and simply talking about the mundane can help restore perspective, balance, and faith. I’m moving […]
Serendipity’s Embrace: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. I tried to finish Ep 5 but fell asleep. Will catch up later. Let’s enjoy the show.
The Princess Royal: Ep 2 My Observations
It’s easy to side with Pei WenXuan (PWX) in this episode. The Spring Banquet is Li Rong’s event, and she has an axe to grind. She hears from her maid that PWX accepted her invitation with conceit. PWX: (smugly) Though I’m not capable, I’m blessed with good looks. This response naturally vexes her. But I […]
The Princess Royal: Ep 1 My Notes
The first episode is dense material, so I need time to disentangle what I see as relevant elements. 1. The title, “The Princess Royal” The title is to the point. There’s a difference between a “royal princess” and a “Princess Royal.” In case you didn’t know… The former is broad. It refers to the daughter(s) […]
