Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Aug 2022?
Here’s my update on my drama schedule this month. I’m watching “Love Like a Galaxy” but I’ve decided I’ll mimic the way most drama viewers watch shows, and not bother to understand the plot.

Alchemy of Souls: Ep 12 On BoYeon, For Snowflower
@Snowflower asked this question in the other thread. @pm3, I was also wondering if Jang Gang put another baby’s soul into baby Bu Yeon. Or is it possible that he summoned the soul of BY back into her own body? Either way, if BY is a soul-shifter, she should have gone wild. Why hasn’t she? […]
