Hey! Where did May go? I’ll be traveling in June and part of July so my posts will be sporadic. Have a great summer, y’all! Here’s what on my travel list. 1. King The Land Starring Lee JunHo (we all know who he is) and YoonAh (“Big Mouth” and “The King in Love”) Dear Lee […]
Bitch Talk: The Four Faces of the Ahjumma Kims
@Grace made a comment in the Happy Mother’s Day thread that gave me pause. Actually I have to say this mother of all korean female lead daughters, Kim Mi-Kyung! She is the mother of Dr.Cha, Crash Course in Romance, Hi Bye Mama (again!), 18 Again, a lot of Park MinYoung’s dramas and more. Although I […]
Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope you all had a Happy Mother’s Day, ladies! It’s hard to believe that I can only think of four dramas showcasing good mothers: 1. Reply 1988 (2015): who could forget the three moms of the Ssangmun-dong town? 2. Racket Boys (2021): the male lead, an ex-badminton prodigy, joins his middle school’s all-boys team […]
What Are We Watching in May 2023?
I don’t mind that only a couple of new kdramas are on my radar this month because I still have “Dr Romantic 3,” the cdrama “Till the End of the Moon,” and “Stealer: The Treasure Keeper.” “Stealer” with Joo Won is fun though it seems to be a low-key, low-testosterone, low-budget version of “Healer.” I […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in April 2023?
I don’t know if this is good news or bad news, but I’ll be back Stateside in a couple of weeks and my next round of travel won’t be till June. This means if I start a drama this month, I’ll be around to finish it before it’s time for me to pack my bags […]
Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Mar 3?
I accidentally ate sausage links this morning so I’ll find another way to join my fellow Catholics in observing a Friday penance. Mea culpa. (@Growing_Beautifully, prayers for you and the retreatants.) For those who have managed to remember meatless Friday, what are you cooking?
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in March 2023?
This list conveys my aspirations, rather than goals this month. 1. Delivery Man The premise of this kdrama is like “May I Help You?” The hero is a taxi driver who fulfills the last wishes of his dead riders. Since one of his customers is the heroine, I’m assuming that there’s also a bit of […]
Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Feb 24?
Two years ago, on Ash Wednesday, I asked @agdr03 if she knew of any good pescatarian recipes and she suggested salmon with oyster sauce and lemon. That surprised me because I never thought of adding oyster sauce to salmon. I’m accustomed to the usual herbs/lemon/garlic/honey-glazed salmon dish so discovering the versatility of oyster sauce as […]
Happy Valentines Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Bitches! Remember that you are loved. @Welmaris requested that I post this on Valentine’s Day. Mr. Darcy is a dreamboat. And I like Matthew McFayden’s interpretation as much as Colin Firth’s because he showed that the arrogant character has a tender side. And I still remember the kiss scene. Mr. Darcy: How […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in February 2023?
It’s time to rev our engines for the dramas this month. 1. Our Blooming Youth Cast: Park HyungSik (“Happiness”) and Jeon So Nee He’s the Crown Prince with some mysterious curse (illness?). She’s only surviving member of her family. Her whole family was massacred, and as the lone survivor, she’s blamed for tragedy. Talk about blaming […]
Happy Lunar New Year!
Belated Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! I don’t believe in horoscopes, geomancy, and fortune tellers, as you all know. But I hope that in whatever we do, we shall persevere steadily and assuredly…unlike that silly rabbit in the Chinese zodiac mythology. It’s interesting to see the similarity between this legend and Aesop’s fable of the […]
Where Are You Nrllee aka Ms Royally Blunt?
Hi @nrllee, I’ve been living under a rock these past couple of weeks. Will you please fill me in on the Harry and Rachel/Meghan continuing saga post-Megxit? Thanks. I heard that he released a book called “Spare” and in it, he mentioned using his late mother’s cream — Elizabeth Arden — on his frostbitten wiener? […]
Bitch Talk: The Georgette Heyer Book Club
Capital! I’ve started on my first Georgette Heyer romance, and I couldn’t help laughing at some Regency’s expressions like “Capital!” that translates into “Awesome!” for me, and “Lit!” or “Gucci!” for kids. It was @Kate who mentioned Ms Heyer in this month’s What Are We Watching? She said that her whole family grew up on […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in January 2023?
I don’t know what happened to the glut of dramas in December. I only have one new drama this January and it won’t premiere till the end of this month. That’s okay. I’m currently watching: “Alchemy of Souls 2: Light and Shadow” – it ends this weekend “Forbidden Marriage” “Unlock My Boss” I might get […]
