Happy Chuseok, everyone! credit: kotesol And here’s a challenge for you. “Tell me you’re into kdramas without telling me you’re into kdramas.” 1. I suffer from “second male lead syndrome.” 2. I turn around when I hear someone say, “Oppa,” “Yeobo,” and “Unnie.” 3. Instead of Reisling, I crave for Chum-Churum peach flavored soju. 4. […]
9/11: Never Forget, Always Remember
Remembering matters for healing. 9/11/2001 was a tragic day for us here in the US. And it pains me that 20 years later, there are those who are downplaying the tragedy or trashing the memory of that day. This is a twitter thread by @BenFranklinMD1 to help us remember. Ben Franklin, M.D. @BenFranklinMD1 ThreadThreadThread I […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching Sept 2021?
On top of my list is “Lovers of the Red Sky” (LotRS or Red Sky, for short). Next is Yang Yang’s “You Are My Glory” (which is completely subbed by now), followed by “Hometown Cha Cha Cha.” “Hospital Playlist 2” has been moved to the backburner. I would have thrown it in the rubbish pile […]
Bitch Talk: Sat 8/21 Open Thread
This has been a depressing, stressing, distressing week for me…and I’m not talking about kdramas. I’m opening a thread just for fun to catch up with what’s going on in everybody’s lives nowadays. Please no political and legal debate here or I’ll zap you. Gossips are allowed. I like gossips! They’re so entertaining. Feel free […]
Weekend Prayers, Friday August 13th
More than a decade ago I was on a travel forum where a question was asked about holy relics in Italy. Do devout Catholics still revere these relics? Are they only important to one if the particular saint is significant to one? Are they thought to have some power if one prays near them? Or […]
Bitch Talk: Should We Watch These in August 2021?
Of course, we’re watching “Hospital Playlist 2,” “You Are My Spring,” and Yang Yang’s “You Are My Glory.” But here are the other kdramas starting this August which I find interesting. 1. Lovers of the Red Sky This is a fantasy romance. However, the lead female character is based on a real Joseon personality. I […]

Bitch Talk: On Watching Morbid Kdramas
I’m not sure that watching all these dramas on our schedule is good for the soul. Death seems to be a common thread. Monday/Tuesday: Doom at Your Service Wednesday/Thursday: Sell Your Haunted House Friday/Saturday: Move to Heaven Saturday/Sunday: Bossam If you’re in a crisis, feeling depressed, or having suicidal thoughts, limit or STOP watching all […]
Happy Mother’s Day!
To all the confused, weary, harassed, stressed-out, working, stay-at-home, quarantined moms out here, please have a seat… and savor the moment. Because our book of life remains unfinished, sometimes it’s difficult to see that these topsy-turvy days of motherhood will make for a most riveting plot twist, and create our best chapters. So sit down for […]
Bitch Talk: Should We Watch These in May 2021?
Bring it on, drama gods! We’re ready for the next big hit in drama land. 1. Bossam – Stealing Fate Do I want another sageuk after “River Where the Moon Rises”? This one is set in Joseon period so at least the costumes will be prettier. This is a long summary (practically an essay!) from […]

Bitch Talk: “Psycho But It’s Okay” meets “Mr Queen”
As Mark Twain said, truth is stranger than fiction. I saw news about “Mr. Queen” actor Kim JungHyun and his ex-girlfriend, “Psycho But It’s Okay” actress Seo SeJin. I couldn’t make head or tail of it because it also involved other female costars of Kim Jung Hyun, namely Seohyun from “Time” and the “other” Seo, […]
