Alchemy of Souls 2: Ep 4 On Rice Cakes and Dumplings

Forbidden Marriage: Ep 3 My Highlights
By my definition, this kdrama is a farce. Improbable scenarios? Check. Horseplay, gags, and slapstick? Check. Exaggerated reactions? Check. Stock characters like a king, palace maid, and king’s bodyguard caught in a love triangle? Check. Buffoonery? Check. Wordplay and sexual innuendos? Check. Meta? Check. But just because the show doesn’t take itself seriously doesn’t mean […]

Alchemy of Souls 2: Eps 3 & 4 Open Thread
The thread is open. But first, I’ve to a) redo what I wrote in Cho Yeong vs Jin BuYeon because of the amnesia aka reboot, and b) connect-the-dots of Master Lee’s prophesy in Episode 19. A. Cho Yeong • Beloved daughter of the Mage Cho, the royal astrologer • Trained to become assassin by Jin Mu […]
