Tomorrow: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread Cast: Kim Hee Sun (“Alice”), Rowoon (“Extra-ordinary You”), and Lee SooHyuk (“Doom at Your Service”) […]
Bitch Talk: To the Boys of Winter
Now that spring is finally here in my neck of the woods, I just want to say thanks to these six young actors for playing their characters well in the kdramas. They made the dark months of winter bearable. I didn’t have much to bitch about their performance. 1. Choi Woo-Shik as Woong in “Our […]
Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Mar 18?
For tomorrow, I’m trying my hand at this singang recipe that @Janey showed me last week. Since I’m free in the morning, I can go to the Asian mart to get the ingredients. My grocery list: Knorr tamarind mix. (Look for the 40g packet) radish long beans okra And shrimps with head and skin on […]

Tomorrow we’re having something simple: pasta with mussels. My ingredients: garlic extra-virgin olive oil (evoo) fresh tomatoes (not the tomato paste) white wine basil parsley pine nuts (I like nuts on my food) mussels Pasta? I’ll use spaghetti. Maybe linguini. I like to try different pasta shapes: bow ties, wheels, spirals, shells, Mickey Mouse, and […]
Bitch Talk: O Canada!
I’m making this list because I’ll forget this soon. @nrllee. You might want to watch the clip on Dindin. Korean entertainers with ties to Canada. I culled the information from Wiki. 1. Ahn Hyo Seop or Paul Ahn Born in 1995 in Seoul, SK Citizenship: Canadian At 7 years old, family emigrated to Toronto, Ontario, […]
Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Mar 4?
I’m restarting our Meatless Friday recipe threads because we had so much great ideas from you all last year. Here’s what I’m planning to experiment on tomorrow. “Experiment” is the key word. I don’t know how this will taste like because I only jotted down the ingredients of the Thai dish I was served a […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Mar 2022?
I still have my February line-up to finish so I’m going to be pretty selective about starting a new drama this month. I’ll only consider dramas with wit, verve, and humor…and Lee Minho. 🤪 I’m making a special exception for Lee Minho’s melodrama “Pachinko” — just because. I have my eye on four dramas. 1. […]

Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Feb 2022?
Thanks for the reminder, @GB! 1. Twenty-Five, Twenty-One “Our Beloved Summer” is a tough act to follow. I’m in two minds about begin “Twenty-Five, Twenty-One” so soon after OBS’ successful run. I fear that this new drama will only feel like a derivative, and I won’t do it justice. But since this new series features […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Jan 2022?
Happy New Year, everyone! Let’s get cracking! Currently, I’m watching “Uncle” on Viki because it stars Oh Jung Se, our favorite Ahjussi Deuteragonist. He’s doing well although I think plot-wise, the drama could have been shortened to 12 episodes (I’m a fan of the abbreviated run after “Happiness” and Japanese dramas. lol). I guess his […]
Happy Birthday, Bitches!
Thank you all for being part of Bitchesoverdramas. As you can probably guess by the timing of the creation of this blog — two days before the new year — I intended this blog as my New Year’s resolution to stress less, and relax more. I thought it would be a blast tackling Korean dramas. […]
Merry Christmas!
The Christmas story, as told in three different ways. 1. “How the Woke Stole Christmas” From the RT. Just a heads-up. RT was formerly known as Russia Today. It’s a tv network funded by…duh…the Russian government. Don’t let the Woke steal the Christmas spirit in you. 2. “The Digital Story of the Nativity” Is this […]
Bitch Talk: BoD’s Top Ahjussi Deuteragonists of 2021
Vocabulary of the Day! Deuteragonist = sidekick or supporting character It comes from the word “deuter” (meaning “second”) and “agonist” (meaning “participant”). This category is new for this blog. @Growing_Beautifully suggested that we have an appreciation post for ahjussi actors like Lee Seung Joon and Oh Jung Se. I thought that was a great idea […]
Welmaris’ Joseon Monarchs and Sageuk Project
For a novice dipping her toes for the first time into historical kdramas or sageuk, awareness of the timeline and circumstances of the drama probably doesn’t matter. It’s enough to enjoy the swashbuckling heroes of the Goryeo period and the pretty maidens in hanbok during the Joseon era. But if you’ve been swimming in these […]
