Our Beloved Summer: Ep 6 Pride and Prejudice, Part 2
Link to Part 1: Our Beloved Summer: Ep 6 Pride and Prejudice, Part 1 Where was I? Oh! Pemberley. I finished comparing Ung’s symbolic Pemberley to Darcy’s Pemberley so let me bring up this second point. Back in my First Impressions, I pointed out that Yeonsu would have recognized the real identity of Go-Oh. a. Back […]

Our Beloved Summer: Ep 6 Pride and Prejudice, Part 1
Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” is much beloved by many of us here at Bitches that I toyed with the idea of letting you determine for yourselves what the parallelisms are between the book and this episode. But then I’ll miss out on the fun. I’m breaking my critique again in two parts because I’ve […]
Bulgasal: Ep 9 On Dark Hole’s Origin
K-drama Grandma (K-d G) wrote this: I’m glad there are so many great theories, because I’m totally lost at this point! If I understand right, the detective is the reincarnation of both Bulgasal’s dads? Plus both Bulgasal’s are brothers, and both used to be human? We have no idea of the story of who the […]
Our Beloved Summer: Ep 5 A Secret, Part 2
I don’t do recaps so I’m grateful to those who do. I’m basing my comments on the information I found on these two sites about the 2007 Taiwanese movie, “The Secret That Cannot Be Told.” http://telly-tales.blogspot.com https://opionator.wordpress.com It should go without saying that this post contains spoilers. The movie “Secrets” is best described as a […]
Our Beloved Summer: Ep 5 A Secret That Can’t Be Told, Part 1
There are two ways to approach the title of this episode: the conventional way, which is to focus on the various secrets of the different characters that can’t be told, or the Bitches’ way, which is to flagellate ourselves into looking for connections between the Taiwanese film and this episode. But being an uber-Bitch, I’ll […]
Our Beloved Summer: Ep 4 The Boy, or the Girl, We Liked Then
Looking for the movie associated with this Episode took a lot of time. I went on YouTube and saw mini-clips of a kdrama with the same title, but to my horror, it featured that ignoble “Good” Boy, Kim SeonHo. Well, those YT videos were actually taken from scenes of Euchalala Waikiki 2. Lol. I had […]
Bulgasal: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is now open for all the mayhem the director and writer want to throw at us…. Including fashion. I don’t know what costume coordi’s “concept” is when she dresses up the actress Kwon Nara. From Episode 2. I supposed Kwon Nara must blend with the corn stalk because her character SangUn was on […]

Our Beloved Summer: Ep 3 Ten Things I Hate About You
I watched this 1999 film and for me, there were two highlights. One, Heath Ledger’s dancing spectacle, and Two. Kate’s poetry scene Here’s the poem. I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair, I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare. I […]
Bulgasal: Ep 8 On “Contradictions”
Blink and you’ll miss the shot of the book “Contradictions.” This book was displayed as Dark Hole and the Detective Kwon were having their conversation in the forest. Dark Hole told him, “Are you afraid of me? When the one next to you is more frightening?” The camera then cut away to a book on […]
Our Beloved Summer: Ep 2 The Many Days of Summer
In this sort of drama, the characters will be fleshed out as the story progresses, so let me talk about the title again. I’m sure you all guessed that the title alludes to that 2009 American film called “(500) Days of Summer.” Although I didn’t watch the show, I did my research so I can […]
