I’m back stateside, but I’m feeling under the weather. Nothing serious. Give me a couple of days, and I should be as right as rain. Here’s what I’m watching this month. (BTW, I just signed up for Kocowa premium membership. It’s my reward to myself for working relentlessly these past few weeks.) @GB, which show […]

What Are We Watching in March 2026?
Now that “To My Beloved Thief” has happily ended last weekend, I can’t wait for the next drama to give my single-minded focus. I’m raring to go. Unfortunately, however, there isn’t many to choose from. Yu Yoon Seok has “Phantom Lawyer” with Esom but as you know, I don’t watch legal dramas. I may have […]
To My Beloved Thief: On Rectifying “Red Sleeve”
“Red Sleeve” (2021) is one of those kdramas, like “Twenty-Five, Twenty-One” that has the (dis)honor of getting the epithet “k-trauma.” According to google ai, there are the four reasons for the audience’s discontent. I’ll go over them briefly, then show how “To My Beloved Thief” (TMBF) resolves those issues. First, a brief note on the […]
To My Beloved Thief: On Sartorial Elegance
No doubt I’m not the only one who noticed the lovely hanboks of the Grand Prince. But instead of merely gushing over them, I’ll do a deep dive into the extra layers they add to the story. I’ll do the first four episodes because that’s all the time I have now. Episode 1 Seeing his […]
To My Beloved Thief: Ep 16 On HEA, continued
There are some who quibble that the ending isn’t a happily-ever-after, so let me just go over some points. 1. Happiness is fleeting, but contentment is enduring. I get it. All fairy tales end with, “And they lived happily ever after,” so we’re conditioned to strive for happiness, and to set a yardstick or conditions […]

To My Beloved Thief: Ep 14 The “EunJo Effect”
I don’t do recaps as you know. But since we’re entering the final weekend of this kdrama, it’s about time to retrace our steps to see how we’ve arrived at this junction. Episodes 5 & 6 gave us the first body swap. Unlike many viewers, my gut reaction to the body swap trope wasn’t disdain […]

Happy Lunar New Year!
It’s the Year of the Horse, and it’s not just any horse, it’s the Fire Horse! I read that the last time we had this combination of animal and element, it was 60 years ago, in 1966. And as the fire horse is associated with strength, endurance, speed, decisiveness, and success, this year is auspicious […]
