It’s another good episode, @nrllee. Episode Title: Don’t be defeated, not by fate nor loneliness 1. In the beginning, I thought the story was going to revolve around the genius artist, Shin Dae Ryuk (SDR). He got in trouble because he followed one of his subjects for his drawing too closely. He creeped out the […]
Alchemy of Souls: Ep 17 Things I Disliked
There are no surprises here. I’m a bitch, as you know. A. The reunion of “father” and “son” was a dud. JG: (taking a swig from his bottle) I only followed you because I recognized the sword. Uk: Do you know the owner of this sword? JG: The man who abandoned that sword was a […]
Good Job: Eps 1 & 2 My First Impressions
I recommend this drama. It’s surprisingly fun to watch. When I expected the characters to zig, they zagged, and vice versa. There’s no telling where they’re going to end up zigzagging. My first impressions: 1. It’s not a detective story, but a caper story. Lol. I was misled by the pre-drama blurbs. Eun Sunwoo the […]
Alchemy of Souls: Ep 18 The Kiss
People might have forgotten that Uk originally asked Naksu to be his wife but I don’t forget details like that. From Episode 2. Uk and Naksu were in the Secret Room viewing Naksu’s real body on the autopsy table. Uk: The body was frozen here. Seeing how there is no rotting smell, your body must […]
Good Job: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
Here I go again, waiting eagerly another drama to premiere. This kdrama stars Jung Il Woo and Kwon Yuri. They were the leads in the sageuk, “Bossam.” This is a 16-episode romcom. Jung Il Woo plays a typical chaebol dude by day, then he moonlights as a detective after office hours. Kwon Yuri plays a […]
Alchemy of Souls: Ep 17 On Filler Scenes
Some viewers pan some scenes as filler scenes when I think they’re important one. One fine example in this episode is the make-up scene in the night market. gifs from damn-salvatore’s tumblr source: damn-salvatore’s tumblr Some of you think it could have been left out, so I’ll explain why I think it’s relevant. First, it […]
Alchemy of Souls: Ep 13 Welmaris’ Take on Monsters
I’m reposting @Welmaris’ essay as a fine example of a cogent interpretation of drama and discussion I would like to have more of about this series. She wrote it in one of the password-protected threads. I like it because she took information from an outside source material then related it to the characters in the […]

Love Between Fairy and Devil: Eps 1 to 4 First Impressions
Move over, “Alchemy of Souls”! I’m eyeing another drama. lol. I’m so entertained by this new drama — a Chinese drama, no less – that I can temporarily suspend anxieties about the current Sino-U.S. relations. Ties between Beijing and Washington may be frayed right now, but I can still appreciate a good Cdrama…and a handsome […]
