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 […]
Happy Birthday, Bitches!
Belated happy birthday, Bitches! I started this blog on December 29, 2017 and this is our fifth year! Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey! It wouldn’t have been this much fun without you. I’m sorry I’m late. I had a little medical emergency that required a stay at the hospital but thanks to […]
Merry Christmas, Peaches!
I wish y’all the Christmas miracle you’ve been praying for. May you find time to spend with God on this festive season. Families, like kdramas, can be overwhelming so do find the quiet place, and the quiet hour to be in His presence and pray. Our celebration of Christmas isn’t complete without a reflection on […]
Bitch Talk: Asian Dramas Streaming Sites
There are times when I travel that I can’t access the regular dramas on Viki because I am in a different region where the dramas aren’t available. So I hotfoot it to the illegal sites. There are times when I want to know if there’s a different translation, a missing honorific, or a more nuanced […]
2022 Dramas: The Year in Review
As requested by @Welmaris. –pm3 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 It’s that time of the year again to look back on the dramas we watched and to judge them. Just a couple of reminders: One, the year hasn’t ended yet and this month’s crop of new dramas can still make it to this list. You might want to save […]
