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, […]
Bitch Talk: Should We Watch These in April 2021?
I skipped March 2021 because we were booked. Now that “Sisyphus” and “Hello, Me!” have ended, and “River Where the Moon Rises” and “Vincenzo” are also going to end this month, I’ve an opening in my drama watching schedule. I already crossed out “Law School” and “Undercover” because they’re my “third rail.” I get electrocuted […]
Happy Easter!
As much as I like to watch kdramas (and doramas and Chinese dramas with 24 episodes or less), there’s only ONE story that I never get tired of hearing or recounting. Can you guess which one? No, it’s not “Start-Up” although I look forward to our re-watches. It’s not “Reply 1988” although I probably wrote […]
Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Feb 26?
Please don’t read these threads if they offend you. Just be thankful that talking about food isn’t fattening. lol. **************** I made @grace’s steamed fish last Friday. I used Chilean sea bass with spinach. Instead of the Chinese rice wine, I used the sherry cooking oil. My husband loved the flavor, so thanks, @grace! Next […]
Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Feb 19?
It started out as innocent question to @agdr03 on Ash Wednesday. Do you have any good fish or seafood recipes? The thought of eating just fish fillet for Lent is making me cranky. She replied: For fish, try my favourite baked salmon or trout with oyster sauce and lemon. You just put it on top […]
Happy Chinese New Year!
Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. May we all be bullish this year and meet our challenges head on. (lol. I’m still working on my animal doodles.

Bitch Talk: Should We Watch These in February 2021?
February should be a time of romance, but where’s the love in these kdramas?? Don’t go all serpentine and convoluted for me, Kdrama gods! All I want is a simple love story for Valentine’s Day!!! 1. L.U.C.A.: The Beginning Synopsis from mydramalist: “LUCA” is based on Charles Darwin’s proposition that all species of life have […]
Bitch Talk: Im Siwan’s Corner
What do I do with this guy? credit: thingskateknows’ tumblr He’s on my original list of “Top Idol Actors,” but I can’t seem to like his latest projects, “Strangers from Hell,” and “Run On.” For me, one of the tests of a good actor is his silence. Spoken words, like body movements, make it easy […]
Get Well Soon, @agdr03!!!
@agdr03 is sick. 🙁 I’m sending her prayers for a quick recovery, and a compilation of gifs that I know she’ll appreciate. ********************************* Dear @agdr03, We had good times watching our first Cdrama together. Thanks to you and @phoenix, I still remember everything that happened all these scenes. Get well soon so we can watch […]
Bitch Talk: Drama Recommendations
People have asked for my drama recommendations. My recommendation however is to follow a writer and see his/her development over time. That’s what I did. I binge-watched not the actors but the screenwriters because I wanted to understand their vision of the world, their moral philosophy, and their creative process. Here’s a “starter pack.” I’ll […]
