Many moons ago, a question was raised in my bookclub to name a character who wasn’t the villain of the story, but technically could be viewed as one because his/her actions consistently put the protagonist in harm’s way. Dumbledore of the Harry Potter series was a favorite in my group. Why? Not only was he […]
Extra-Ordinary You: Wrap-Up Trivia
I like the thought that the two actors talked before the filming, and agreed to do something together as couple. In effect, it made their heart gestures more of a “couple item” because even when they were just doing the “half heart” sign, they were really showing their unity since they decided on this beforehand […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 16 Swoonworthy Moment: To Agdr03
I might forget this so I’m posting these gifs now. Later when we’re doing the re-watch, I’ll just pull them up and repost them. For many viewers, one of things adorable about DanOh was that she was unafraid to initiate skinship. Take for instance their kiss in the library in the last episode (Ch 31 […]
Extra-ordinary You: Fangirling Lee Jae Wook
By special request. I hope he’ll soon be the leading man of his own romcom. No more love triangles, okay, dude? You’re giving me angina. Hey…what’s this, “I’ll Go To You When The Weather Is Nice” with Seo Kang Joon? NOOOoooo. I’ll definitely probably watch and review it here in this blog. I found these […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 9 Swoonworthy Moment: To Agdr03
Yoohooo, @agdr03! It’s safe to watch this show now. If you watch it, you’ll be reminded of high school moments like this one. This is from Episode 7 (Ch 14 at 20:10). Gif credit: Lee Taeri’s tumblr. THE GIRL walks home after school and she spots the “love of her life” talking to other guys animatedly […]
Extra-ordinary You: On the Butterfly Effect
It bugs me that the main takeaway of many viewers about the “butterfly effect” is the dumbed down version of the theory, and therefore, an incomplete understanding. Since we aim to be smart bitches on this blog, and not mere adoring fans of Rowoon Oppa! (snort), let’s take 6:28 minutes to know the real deal […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 32 On Tennis Balls and Heidegger (again!)
lol. Even tennis balls have meaning, don’t you know? Tennis is a two-player game. Kyung has always been always looking for a partner. The manhwa writer gave him Haru as a tennis partner after Haru came back from the “dead” and lost his memories, just like the writer gave him Haru as his guard in […]
Extra-ordinary You: On Rilke’s Angels
This is going to be posted on soompi later when I’ve time. lol. I didn’t comment earlier because I was waiting to see where the writer is going with this. I still have to watch Episode 16, as well as Episodes 13 and 14. @nrllee posted this on soompi. I agree with her and will […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 15 On Redemption
🙂 Aren’t you getting tired yet of me telling you that I know this director’s style? I leapfrogged Episodes 13 and 14 and went straight to Episode 15 to see what the buzz was all about. 🤦♀️I can tell you that this director did EXACTLY the same setup for the second lead in The King […]

Extra-ordinary You: Fangirling Rowoon
Edited 11/20/19 From Grace, a compilation of the behind-the-scenes of EY. Wow! This is a find, Grace! Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZcCJzOC-ccugp-mlu9bLfA ************** I don’t know why I’m getting all these YT clips of Rowoon. But I might as well post them up here for @grace and company. You’ll thank me for this. He seems to have […]
Bitch Talk: If I Were Dating These Kdramas…
I’ve joked often enough that I’m a serial killer. I date kdrama series and dump them. This guy, on the other hand, died due to a cereal killer. Cereal. Get it? The Fall 2019 season of kdramas went off with a bang with so many new and promising dramas to choose from. But now eight […]
Extra-ordinary You: On Keeping Her vs Keeping Her Safe
I woke up today to plenty of great posts. Thanks @nrllee, @barbrey and @leedale9198 for your comments. If I’ve time today, I’ll post my reply out here. I’ll edit this later to post screenshots and the Episode numbers. I’m obsessive that way. I’ll answer @barbrey’s comments first. From @barbrey No I don’t think Dan Oh […]
Extra-ordinary You: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
Please post your spoilers here. Thanks! ****************** As I told @lovebangwon on twitter today, “Extra-ordinary You” and “The King in Love” were filmed by the same director. Had I known this sooner, I would have walked away. I sensed a familiar style or approach in directing while watching “Extra-ordinary You” so I went on mydramalist […]
