I’m re-posting this even though the drama is already done because: a. this drama was so fast paced that I’m going to forget what happened when. Nrllee’s recaps will remind me of the sequence of events. b. I like to go over and see where the plot holes were. c. I don’t have time to […]
Welmaris’ Joseon Monarchs and Sageuk Project
For a novice dipping her toes for the first time into historical kdramas or sageuk, awareness of the timeline and circumstances of the drama probably doesn’t matter. It’s enough to enjoy the swashbuckling heroes of the Goryeo period and the pretty maidens in hanbok during the Joseon era. But if you’ve been swimming in these […]

Jirisan: Eps 15 & 16 Open Thread
The end. My three major complaints: This show dragged on. The plot didn’t need 16 episodes to come full circle to this central message: source: cuddlybitch’s tumblr It underutilized the male lead HyunJo. Because we were only seeing his past actions, his character growth appeared stunted. We’ve been waiting for him to wake up since […]

Bitch Talk: BoD’s Top Idol-Actors of 2021
It’s time to reshuffle my deck of Idol Actors and choose my Top Four. My original Fab Four were: Siwan of ZE:A https://i.imgur.com/P53pihh.mp4 He’s been crossed off my list because: a. none of his recent projects sparked my interest. He has to choose better projects so I can reassess his acting skills. b. he hasn’t […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Dec 2021?
With both “Jirisan” and “Happiness” ending this week, I’m ready for two new dramas next week. I’m keeping an eye on these following shows: 1. Our Beloved Summer Synopsis from wiki: A coming of age romantic comedy that revolves around Choi Woong (Choi Woo-shik) and Kook Yeon-soo (Kim Da-mi), ex-lovers who broke up with a […]
Jirisan: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
The thread is now open the usual spoilers, discussions, and my bitching. If I see YiKang again running outside in the blizzard without a hat, earmuffs and a pair of gloves, I’m throwing tomatoes snowballs at the costume director. Same if I see mountain rangers wearing white or off-white snow outfits in the snow. People wear […]

Red Sleeve: Before I Begin…
Before I begin reviewing this drama… I must say that there’s too much to process that I’m at a loss where to start. Take this moment for instance — source: kang-mi-rae’s tumblr On one hand, I know this scene didn’t likely happen. A handmaiden having the audacity to scold the future king? No way, Jose. […]
Happiness: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is now open. Four more episodes! Gifs from jude-duarte’s tumblr Ohhhh…is this why he made sure there was plenty of snacks from LtCol Han’s supply bag? So she doesn’t have to ask for snacks from the Penthouse Guy? I still don’t know whether it’s a good or a bad sign that her wound […]
Happiness: Ep 8 GB’s Character Summary
I’ll quote Growing_Beautifully’s summary and post comments here and there. @nrllee @pkml3 Lt Lee gives some prelim results of a clinical trial to HTS – something seems to be working. 72% of the severly ill patients have longer cycles (of being human) and fewer frequencies of their symptoms. Back in Episode 7 (time stamp 1:00:17), […]
