Three things then I’m done with this KiHo mystery and will move on to the title explanation, which is more fun to write about. 1. Re. the encounter between KiHo’s former classmate Daewoong and KiHo’s dad Daewoong: You don’t need the whole life insurance. Just take the indemnity insurance. Father: No, I want that too. […]

Strong Girl Namsoon: Ep 8 My Response to WEncanteur
I’ll respond here instead of in the comment section, @WEnchanteur. It’s easier for me to add my thoughts. 🙂 One of the first comments I made about this drama is: I feel like I’m loosing brain cells. You mentionned the scene about capitalism, but what hit more my attention here is when they say young […]
The Matchmakers: Eps 1 & 2 My First Impressions
This kdrama has a lot to unpack. I’ll start with the serious topics before I get deluged with other kdramas to critique this week, namely “A Good Day to Be a Dog,” “Castaway Diva” and the never-ending “Hidden Love.” 1. The political alignment It’s always good to know who’s on whose side. a. On one […]
Castaway Diva: Eps 1 & 2 A Quick Note on KiHo
Just a quick note before you all go down the rabbit hole…. There are seemingly two mysteries in the romance. Let’s not conflate the two. The first mystery is the whereabouts of the adult Jung KiHo. The second is the identity of female lead Seo MokHa’s “One True Match” or OTM. Who will be her […]
Castaway Diva: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
Here’s the thread, as requested by our resident Divo, @WEnchanteur. I’ll chime in later to give my two cents on the one-true-pair (OTP). I’m sure the lurkers from “Start Up”– the haters and fans of this blog, alike — are waiting to see what I have to say on the male lead’s identity because I […]

Strong Girl Namsoon: Ep 8 Light and Shadow of Gangnam
This will be quick because I need to write reviews for the other shows. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 The title has three interpretations. The first is the obvious one. Namsoon was depressed because one of her coworkers at Doogo died from over-exhaustion. Heesik: Everything was caught on his dashcam. He died from the energy drinks he kept drinking […]

The Matchmakers: OST “Half of My Heart”
I believe this is the first time that I’m posting the OST before my First Impressions. But this is music just brightened up my day. It made me feel like dancing. Needless to say I’m down for this drama. “Half of My Heart” Sung by Theo of P1Harmony (Is this a new boygroup??) As for […]
Strong Girl Namsoon: Ep 7 Moonbow
A “moonbow” is a lunar rainbow. As we all know, a rainbow occurs when sunlight reflects on water droplets in the atmosphere. On the flip side, a moonbow occurs when moonlight reflects on water droplets. When you think about this, though, moonlight is the sun’s rays reflected off the moon. So to me, a moonbow […]
