You Are My Glory: Ep 2 Highlights
This episode has lots of things to unpack but I’ll limit myself to 5 bullet points. Anyway, you’re better off watching the short 30-minute episode than reading anything longer than 5 bullet points, anyway. • Yu Tu as female repellent. If JingJing (JJ) had been planning on keeping her gender secret from her newly acquired […]
Lovers of the Red Sky: Ep 7 On the Reunion
As wonderful as Prince Yul is, the episode’s title, “The Reunion,” could only mean the reunion between Ha Ram and CheongKi that the Samshin initiated. The headmaster gave CheongKi the Tiger painting to give to Prince YangMyeong (aka Prince3 and Prince Yul) for granting her wish to obtain medicine for her father. Headmaster: Grand Prince […]
Yumi’s Cells: Ep 4 Highlights
Things that I like: 1. Woong’s Brain Cells have an algorithm. Being a programmer, he’s used to flowcharts where he can evaluate his options given his specific situation and come up with the best decision. But I also like that his brain cells can override his logical answer, like when he decided that it was […]
GO Into Your Heart: Ep 2 Highlights
It’s been hard for me to write highlights for Chinese dramas because I can’t seem to get in the proper frame of mind. Work becomes brutal when you encounter gross incompetency at the highest echelons on a daily basis. So let me try this instead…. I’ll pretend that I’m writing for the daughter that I […]
Just Bitching: Naked Torsos Alert
Before I begin, here’s my obligatory post on shower scenes. It tells you where I stand on this issue. Just Bitching: The Obligatory Post on Shower Scenes I can’t find my post where I mentioned that lesser-known male actors can’t stipulate “no nudity” clauses in their contracts. Sex sells. There are enough viewers who get […]

Yumi’s Cells: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
I thought I was too old to watch a kdrama with cartoons but the premise of the animation in this show is so witty that I zoomed through two episodes in one sitting. The chain of events is easy to understand. It goes like this: Yumi is 32-year-old accountant. She was recently appointed to assistant manager […]

GO Into Your Heart: Ep 1 Highlights
I recommended this Chinese drama because the first episode hooked me in. I’m on Episode 25 now and, so far, I don’t regret jumping on the bandwagon…well, maybe just a smidgen because of all that romantic sweetness. 1. Fate and the ladybug The beginning delivers the premise of the story without delay. The hero narrates: […]
