Yumi’s Cells 2: Ep 2 Quick Takes
Note: if the thread is password-protected, don’t panic. 🙂 Often, it means I’m still missing screenshots or gifs but I had to post the thread so it would appear in the right order or sequence on the blog. 1. On the Rebound I like how the writer showed – not told — us what a […]
Alchemy of Souls: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
I’m opening this thread early so we don’t forget its premiere on Netflix this Saturday. So, who’s watching with me? I just hope the Hong sisters will give us an finale where the lovers don’t: A. die (like in “Hong Gil Dong”) B. separate (like in “Hwayugi”) C. don’t end up together (like in “Hotel […]

Kiss Sixth Sense: Ep 3 My Takes
I’ll limit myself to six points. 1. The non-consensual kisses There were two in this episode. a. The reverse-Sleeping Beauty trope. Yesool wanted to kiss MinHu while he was sleeping to “double-check” her vision of their fated romance. The kiss was averted when he woke up as she was puckering her lips. b. The Drunk […]
Jinx’s Lover: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
I’m giving this a try for Na In Woo. I’m not wild about Seohyun. She looks like a pampered princess to me. I’m more a fan of IU who’s made of sterner stuff, and Kim SeJeong whose sassiness in “Business Proposal” won me over. Gifs from yesdramas’ tumblr source: yesdramas’ tumblr But if SeoHyun can […]
Yumi’s Cells 2: Episode 1 My Quick Takes
Episode 1, entitled “Cool Goodbyes,” is divided into three chapters. The first chapter begins with an imperative to “End the Relationship.” Immediately there’s contrast between Woong’s black and white image and Yumi’s colored world. While they’re sitting in the café, only Yumi is in color. As they walk to the fountain, the visuals continues. The […]
Link: Eps 3 & 4 Open Thread
I’m joining you all on this one. gifs from natahjikio’s tumblr source: natahjikio’s tumblr I liked their first meeting because it highlighted the link between the two lead characters. One, it was a busy street yet their paths crossed. Two, they wore contrasting outfits. He was in a olive green coat; she was in a […]

Link: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
The thread is now open. The full title is “Link: Eat, Love, Kill” but for conciseness, we’ll just call it “Link.” It’s on Disney+ again but it won’t be showing in the US, UK, India, and the Philippines (source: thereviewgeek.com) Not sure about Canada. We’ll have to find alternative source. The story’s about a man […]
Welcome to Wedding Hell: Open Thread
Is anybody watching this? It’s on Netflix. 12 episodes. About 40 minutes per episode. If you don’t mind the acting of the lead actress, Lee Yun Hee, and the awkward character played by Lee Jin Wook (“Bulgasal”), then I think this is one of those dramas that can be dissected because of its unrealistic expectations […]
