Happy Year of the Dragon, everyone! Wishing you all good health, good fortune, good times, good kdramas, and good food! What are you eating for New Year’s? Maybe I can order something similar from the Chinese, Vietnamese, or Korean restaurant near me this weekend. Can somebody tell me what that liquid @kennylsong poured in the […]
Bitch Talk: On KDramas That Didn’t Age Well
These kdramas and Korean movies aged poorly. I’m not talking merely about their visual effects, but the plot, content, message, and/or actors involved in the project have become unacceptable over time. That’s why Shakespeare rules. Even after four centuries, the Bard’s works endure because his insight into our human existence is timeless, universal, and relevant. […]
What Are We Watching in February 2024?
I don’t mind if new kdramas are thin on the ground this month. We had plenty of good ones last month. I’m still trying to catch up with you all on “Marry My Husband.” I’m four episodes behind. All your comments on how satisfying the last episode is makes me watch to skip everything and […]
Bitch Talk: Re. 20/20 Hindsight in “Marry My Husband”
@Cleopatra posed a question on the “Marry My Husband” thread. I’m reposting it out here on the blog to give all a dedicated space to answer it. The responses don’t need to tie in with the drama. @Cleopatra asked, “Would you change yourself and your life if you were given the chance?” @OldAmericanLady, @Phoenix, @GB, […]
Bitch Talk: On Leading Actors for 2024
I came upon a 2022 list on mydramalist of male and female actors who the author thought “deserve” to have main lead roles after slogging through many supporting roles. By MAIN lead role, the list-creator meant the hero who prevails in the end, and wins the girl’s heart, and not just the hapless “other guy.” […]
Yummy Food, Cool Dude, and Great Editing
I don’t know what sort of algorithm Youtube did, but this guy’s shorts (“short videos” not his underpants, ok?) started appearing on my feed. And now I’m thirsty hungry. I thought I would share his clips with you, @Fern and @agdr03 (and the other foodies on the blog), since you like to cook. Check out […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in December 2023?
Gosh! Where did November go? I just blinked and December clocked in. I can only take a look at one new drama this month since my schedule is loaded with holiday and year-end festivities, and dramas I’m currently following. Monday and Tuesday: “The Matchmakers” (16 episodes) ends on Dec 25 Wednesday and Thursday: “A Good […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! “There is a Place” by Liam Lawton There’s a time for remembering, a time to recall The trials and the triumphs, the fears and the falls. There’s a time to be grateful for the moments so blest: The jewels of our memory where love is our guest. There is gold that is […]
Happy Birthday, Growing Beautifully!
Happy birthday to one of the grandes dames of this blog, Growing_Beautifully! Thank you for growing beautifully each year, @GB, and for helping us grow beautifully along with you.
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in November 2023?
November will be a daunting month for those with an extreme fear of missing out, better known as FOMO. I counted no less than five dramas with engaging storylines to premiere this month. I’ll have to be very picky about which dramas to add to my pile since I still have “Strong Woman Namsoon,” “A […]
Happy Halloween!
This is our time to shine, Bitches! It’s all right to be batty, scary, creepy, and bad to the bone today. source: dress-this-way tumblr Will you watch a horror show tonight?
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in October 2023?
Woe is me! Throughout this month, I must resist the temptation of hoarding up – and snacking — on Halloween fun-sized chocolate bars. And as if that isn’t bad enough, I must also resist succumbing to this month’s supply of eye-candy courtesy of kdramaland. 1. Strong Girl Namsoon A spinoff of that hit drama “Strong […]
Happy Chuseok!
Happy Chuseok! Image by freepik I’ll celebrate the Korean thanksgiving tomorrow by going to H-Mart and buying sikhye (sweet rice punch with rice bits), songpyeon (dainty rice cake shaped like a half moon), japchae (glass noodles), and galbijjim (beef short ribs). Hope you can celebrate Chuseok too, even in a small way, wherever you are. […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in September 2023?
I’m watching “My Lovely Liar” till it ends third week of September. I’m still getting my bellyaches from the comedy of “Behind Your Touch.” (Yes, I’m behind writing my notes but there’s nothing I can do.) I just started “Destined With You” and I might hang around for a while. And I’m still reviewing “Hidden […]
