Yumi’s Cells: Ep 14 Closing Remarks
I’m highlighting @Welmaris’ post because she speaks for me. An open ending often alienates us, viewers who seek a conclusive happily-ever-after with Prince Charming. We have an insistent and pessimistic voice in our heads that keeps warning us, “She must end up with the guy now or she’ll never find another one like him.” But […]

Alchemy of Souls: Ep 9 On the Morality of Sorcery
One problem I often see with kdramas is that many viewers accept the morality espoused by characters and screenwriter without question or reflection. Bitches should know better. Park Jin: (reminding Uk) Do not forget to thank Master Lee. If he did not vouch for you, things would have gotten complicated. Uk: Yeah. Here, Park Jin […]

The finale! source: stuff-i-watch’s tumblr I laughed way harder that I should have with these screenshots. Which episode did this come from? But hey! At least, he was dating a girl. For some of us here, we’re dating kdramas long past the wrap-up parties. Let’s enjoy the show.

Cafe Minamdang: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is now open. gifs from ingguk’s tumblr source: ingguk’s tumblr Am I wrong? Does it seem like the camaraderie of the gang is more fun to watch than the love-hate relationship of main couple? Their bickering isn’t working for me, perhaps because the main couple in “Alchemy of Souls” is doing a better […]

Alchemy of Souls: Ep 8 My Notes
This will be brief. 1. The importance of eyes We already know the importance of eyes. We know that “eyes are windows to the soul.” But in this drama, this proverb takes on a very literal meaning because Naksu exists as a soul. Uk can see Naksu the assassin when he looks into the eyes […]

She’s reached that stage of self-awareness or self-understanding where she can decide objectively and calmly the best approach to resolve an emotional upheaval. With a clear view of her long-term goals, she can reason with her Love […]
