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), […]
Happy Hanukkah!
Hanukkah sameach, Old American Lady and to all our Jewish lurkers! May the miracle of light shine every day. I’m only Jewish by association: first, because I’ve family members who converted to Judaism for marriage. And second, because Jesus was a Jew. When I was young, I wondered why Passover was mentioned so many times […]
Happiness: Ep 7 Quick Takes
1. The Penthouse Guy When I was listing the positives and negatives of each tenant in Apartment, I said that the Penthouse guy was an “asset” to have. Agree, @nrllee. I peg him as a rich kid. Probably in tech, because of his geeky outfit in Episode 2. But he gave SaeBom a mask, didn’t […]
Jirisan: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
Thread is now open. Gifs from cuddlybitch’s tumblr credit: cuddlybitch’s tumblr Six more episodes to go. The pace should pick up now.

Jirisan: Ep 10 The Serial Killer
By Episode 10, many of us here on this blog have already deduced that Kim Sol, the cultural anthropologist, is the serial killer. To our theory, let me add a few points: A. The trophies The cave where YiKang and HyunJo hid from the bear is the place where the serial killer kept his “trophies” […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Edward Winslow. It astounds me that in the US today that most people would know more about trashy celebrities like Cardi B, Madonna, LeBron James, and Ariana Grande, than this man to whom Americans owe Thanksgiving. Edward Winslow chronicled the events that happened to the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower ship after they landed at Cape […]
