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 […]

Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in December 2022?
Can you believe it? It’s December already? Where did the year go? 1. Unlock My Boss I thought this would come out in November but it was pushed back either because of the soccer games or the tragedy in Itaewon during Halloween. I said that the concept of this drama intrigues me since it reminds […]

Bitch Talk: On Spoilers
When I write my “First Impressions” or critique an episode, I’ve zero qualms whatsoever about mentioning spoilers. Therefore, if you don’t like spoilers, please do yourself a favor and watch the drama BEFORE reading this blog — or searching the internet for information about the drama, for that matter. To me, the key to enjoying […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in November 2022?
To be honest, I don’t know how many of these new dramas I will have time to watch since I’m still on my business trip. I’m currently watching “May I Help You?” — which deals with the heavy topic of death. I find however that the kdrama is the soul-cleansing that I need after “Little […]

I’m going on a trip overseas. lol. I still can’t forget what Prince King Charles said. The word “overseas” has never sounded so shady. If you need me to open a thread, just post your request here. (Remember, no political and legal dramas. Especially not now here in the US.) If you want to […]
Bitch Talk: On “Some” Relationships
The word “some” has popped up in two kdramas I’m currently watching, in Ep 5 of “Little Women” Choi Doil: I’ve always made sure not to mix business with pleasure until now. But we’re not dating I swear. A fling, perhaps? Netflix subbed “some” as “fling.” and in the premiere episode of “Love is for […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Oct 2022?
My new October selections are all romcoms. That’s okay though because I already have a colossal headache from the one makjang show (“Little Women”) I’m watching till the middle of this month. 1. Cheer Up It’s a college campus romance involving cheerleaders. That’s all you need to know. I should be turned off by premise […]
