Normally, I would find it brazen for a girl to invite herself to a man’s home after sharing one kiss. Wait until the third kiss, my dear. lol. But I didn’t mind at all when YooJung pretended as if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to spend time at WooHyun’s apartment. Before her Unnie could figure out […]
Fluttering Alert: Age Matters
YJ’s mother died 23 years ago. YJ was 8 at that time. She’s 31 years old now. We all assume that WH was at that same fire or is connected to that fire that killed YJ’s mom. He was 10 at that time. He’s 33 years old now. His mother was 21 when she had […]
Fluttering Alert: Truth or Consequence
For @h0ns. Since when did I start accepting friends’ requests? hahaha. ************************** WooHyun bows before YooJung’s mother tree. YH: Mom, I’m here. You must love this, Mom. (telling WH) You’re the first person to greet her. (They grin at each other). Sit down. She notices the words on the chair he sent her, and she […]
Fluttering Alert: Tsutsuloo’s List of Fluttery Moments for Ep 5
I’m posting her comment here so others can respond to her. Thanks, tsutsuloo! Awesome post! ***************************************** Before I describe my favorite scenes (everything that was not the cartoonishly evil porcelain robot), I want to express appreciation for @packmule3’s thoughtful analysis of Woo-Hyun’s anxiety about Yoo-Jung leaving him behind. It leads me to wonder about his […]
Fluttering Alert: On Being Petty Cute
Per @fary’s request. ******************************* It started with the fist bump. GS (Guy Smiley the bro): I’m a regular at this restaurant, and my sister likes it too and every one likes it, so I brought some. YJ: Awww. I’m maintaining my figure right now so I can’t eat. What do I do? Ugh… Right! This […]
Fluttering Alert: The Marriage Advice??
Okay, your opinions please. What’s your take on the father’s advice? He knew the background story of WH and YJ. Did he or didn’t he like them matched together? Did he think that WH (or YJ) wasn’t a “good person” for the other person? What did he mean?? lol. WH was baffled, too.
Fluttering Alert: Heart-Fluttering Moments, Ep 5
As promised, here are my favorite moments in Episode 5. Share yours with me. 1. Waking up to see his face After a near-death experience, the first thing she’d want was reassurance from someone near and dear to her that she was still alive. lol. So… this must be how Sleeping Beauty first saw her […]
Fluttering Alert: His “Sagwa” Gift 💝
She gave him a box of apologies with a letter, a posy of purple hyacinths and an apple. He sent her a chair. The accompanying note said, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. I can’t explain the entire situation to you, but I’ve been deeply hurt by people who use money as power and ruin other […]
Fluttering Alert: Sorting the Kiss
If Hogwarts had Sorting Kisses instead of a Sorting Hat to determine the houses, this kiss would have qualified YooJung to the Hufflepuff. It wasn’t daring enough for a Gryffindor. It wasn’t sinful enough to send her to Slytherin. It wasn’t smoldering enough for a Ravenclaw girl. It was a Hufflepuff sort of kiss. It […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 5 Spoilers
This has lots of pictures. I was able to watch the show live and take screenshots. I don’t recap because the only Korean words I know are saranghae, sagwa, and oppa. (I came after the fire scene and hospital scene.) He’s redecorating the hospital and sees YJ’s picture on the floor. He picks it up […]
Fluttering Alert: Exorcising the Ghouls
I have a preternatural dislike for these characters/actors so I’m spoofing them to expel them from my mind. 1. The Chaebol Dad = Jabba the Hutt Whoever this actor is, he should stop investing in botox. 2. The Brother = Guy Smiley Whoever he is, he needs to work on his acting. 3. The Wannabe […]
Fluttering Alert: In Search of a Good Man
-done- Although this kdrama has been accused of using too many tropes, there’s one that I’m glad it eschewed — the “Love at First Sight” cliché. I’ve written about this topic in my review of the recently concluded Devilish Joy and I’ll reprise it here. To me, love at first sight is more a PSYCHOLOGICAL […]
Fluttering Alert: Heart-fluttering Moments, Ep 4
Now that the Dating Contract has been signed and sealed, I’ll be keeping track of the these “heart-fluttering” moments to ensure that WooHyun and YooJung perform, execute, and conform to the terms of the contract. Here are the scenes that I love. Feel free to add to the list. Post-Dating Contract Day 1 1. Not […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 3, On Asking For Favors
On Asking For Favors It’s apparent to all of us that this episode was about asking for favors. From the start, we sensed that WooHyun (WH) would eventually eat his words that he had no need to ask for favors from YooJung (YJ). If there were a kdrama goddess somewhere, she would ensure WH’s transformation into […]
