The first open thread is getting too long so I’m opening a new thread. The link for the 1st Open Thread covering Episodes 1 & 2 is here: Grid: Open Thread Gifs from mostlyfate’s tumblr source: mostlyfate’s tumblr And because tomorrow it’s Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting and abstinence for me and @Growing_Beautifully, I’ll have […]
Twenty-Five Twenty-One: Episode 3 My Takes
I’m sure you’ve all thoroughly covered the romance aspect of this episode, so I’ll just give the sports/fencing perspective. 1. A note on the Coach Sidenote: Her plumped up lips, “aegyo sal,” taut cheeks, and hooked chin bother me. Did the actress undergo plastic surgery? Or is her character supposed to be a plastic surgery […]
Business Proposal: Episode 1 Quick Takes
Sold! Anybody who’s crazy enough to give her boobs names, i.e. “the one on the left is Samantha and the one on the right is Rachel,” is going to be fun watching. Admittedly, I didn’t fall in love at first sight with this kdrama. The first half was spent setting up the blind date, and […]
2D1N: Ep 113 Open Thread
I’m opening this for us, Nrllee and Fern. And whoever wants to join us. Fern, these are unsubbed YT clips. I hope you can access them over there where you are. Enjoy! Oh gosh! The trio did go together in the freezing water. It’s their baptism. They’re the improved and energized Young Boys team. […]
Business Proposal: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
The thread is open for spoilers and discussion. I don’t care if this show is shallow as a kiddie pool. I just need antidote for my growing pessimism. Hopefully, this drama isn’t going to glorify kink in the office. Honestly, I’m more in the mood to deliver a kick-in-the-butt in my office. lol. The second couple […]
Twenty-Five Twenty-One: Eps 1 and 2 First Impressions
First, I’m going to treat this kdrama as a coming-of-age story rather than a typical romcom. Since my focus is on how the heroine Na Heedo navigates her passage into adulthood, I won’t be dragged into speculating about the father of her daughter. I’ll allow the writer and director to keep the identity a secret […]
Twenty-Five Twenty-One: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is now open. Since I’m behind you all, I’m avoiding any gifs from Episodes 3 and 4. But I can’t help posting this. We know what it’s all about, right? Right? source: kimgoeun’s tumblr He was “flexing.” I think flexing his biceps/triceps is including in his contract in lieu of naked torso. hahaha. […]
2D1N: Ep 112 The First Mission
Thanks, @nrllee, for the allkpop link about the spike in ratings. allkpop.com/na-in-woo I badly needed a break from the world last night, but since I already had my 🚨Emergency🚨Ben and Jerry’s ice cream for dinner, this show was my happy pill. According to wiki, this weekend’s episode had a nationwide rating of 15.6% and Seoul rating […]

Grid: Eps 1 & 2 My Notes
Here are my notes. I. Administration Bureau A. Function The bureau has a dual function: keep the Grid running and re-establish contact with founder/creator of Grid. But there’s an inter-office rivalry between the two teams in charge of running the Grid and locating the Grid founder. B. Creation The Grid was activated in 2005 to […]
2D1N: First Impressions
I’m breaking with tradition and writing a review of a variety show because it’s Na In Woo’s debut on the program. 2D1N stands for “Two Days, One Night” which is the length of time the cast members have to spend exploring different regions of South Korea. They play games against to determine who among them […]

The thread is now open. lol.
