Here are the four new things I learned this episode. 1. 1000 years ago, Hwal created Dark Hole when he ripped out EunTae’s soul. EunTae was with a blood-stained and motionless Hwal. ET: Please tell me. I have always wanted to become like you. I’ve been waiting all this time. Even those of low birth […]
Our Beloved Summer: Ep 8 Before Sunset
As I told Janey in one of the earlier threads, if I were to just focus on the yo-yo relationship of the OTP in this drama, not only would the pace drive me bonkers, but their immaturity would have set me off on “When I was your age…” lecture. What made this drama entertaining for […]
All Of Us Are Dead: Open Thread
I don’t expect you to watch this. It’s a zombie show. However, I’m curious to see whether this screenwriter has evolved in his moral arguments after that junk science-fiction, “L.U.C.A.” and how he stacks up against the screenwriter of “Happiness,” the zombie show I watched last month (was it just last month???). All 12 episodes […]

Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Feb 2022?
Thanks for the reminder, @GB! 1. Twenty-Five, Twenty-One “Our Beloved Summer” is a tough act to follow. I’m in two minds about begin “Twenty-Five, Twenty-One” so soon after OBS’ successful run. I fear that this new drama will only feel like a derivative, and I won’t do it justice. But since this new series features […]
Our Beloved Summer: Ep 7 On Eternal Recurrence
I was about to write about Episode 8 when I realized that I couldn’t proceed without explaining the concept of “eternal recurrence” that was introduced in the epilogue of Episode 7. This will be quick and painless, because I know this isn’t philosophy class. The epilogue was a flashback to Ung and Yeonsu’s high school […]
Our Beloved Summer: Ep 7 Catch Me If You Can
As I said when I began doing these movie comparisons, I treat the title as a springboard. To optimize my understanding of the significant scenes in the episode, I look at the film (or the song, as in the case of “I Know What You Did Last Summer”) for which the episode was named. But […]
Dr. Park’s Clinic: Open Thread
The thread is now open. I’m watching this show because I must support senior citizens. (hahaha) I didn’t know how Lee Seo-jin will fare in a comedy. He strikes me as a curmudgeon, but Ra Mi-ran should liven him up. We shall see. Four episodes are already out on kissasian. Let’s enjoy the show.
Bulgasal: Ep 11 Quick Takes
Note to the hate-followers: You trawled the internet seeking for opinions on “Bulgasal” and you found mine. If my opinions find disfavor, then hie thee hence to the next blog (or in your crude language, fuck off). I write for my pleasure and edification, not yours. Let’s begin. Dark Hole: Stop it. Don’t. If you […]

Our Beloved Summer: Please Help With Titles
If you know the films these titles are referring to, please tell me. Thank you!! This will save me time. Episode 7: Catch Me If You Can Is this the Spielberg movie? Is there a Taiwanese/Thai/Indian/Korean film out there with the same title? a. Edited 1/21/22 to add @GB’s comment: Episode 7 – Catch Me […]
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 […]
