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 […]
Happiness: Ep 11 GB’s Levels of Evil
I asked @Growing_Beautifully to rank the apartment dwellers according to their depravity, with the top being the most depraved of them all. She shared me her list, and I think she did a good job. When looking at the criminal offenses of these characters, it’s helpful to remember that there’s a “hierarchy” when assessing the […]
Happiness: Ep 10 The Lord of the Flies
Back in the Episode 8, I commented that this drama reminded me of the classic “Lord of the Flies.” It showed how easy it was for civilized people to abandon rules of common decency and return to savagery. If you haven’t read the book, I found a 10-minute synopsis on Youtube. In this Episode 10, […]
Happiness: Ep 9 Nrllee’s Notes
I’m re-posting this even though the drama is already done because: a. this drama was so fast paced that I’m going to forget what happened when. Nrllee’s recaps will remind me of the sequence of events. b. I like to go over and see where the plot holes were. c. I don’t have time to […]
Happiness: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
The end is nigh! I wanted to collect all the opening scenes when the title “Happiness” showed up and fortunately, somebody from tumblr had the same idea. Thanks to komunyoung’s tumblr. gifs from komunyoung’s tumblr. source: komunyoung’s tumblr Let’s enjoy the show.
Bitch Talk: BoD’s Top Idol-Actors of 2021
It’s time to reshuffle my deck of Idol Actors and choose my Top Four. My original Fab Four were: Siwan of ZE:A https://i.imgur.com/P53pihh.mp4 He’s been crossed off my list because: a. none of his recent projects sparked my interest. He has to choose better projects so I can reassess his acting skills. b. he hasn’t […]
Happiness: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is now open. Four more episodes! Gifs from jude-duarte’s tumblr Ohhhh…is this why he made sure there was plenty of snacks from LtCol Han’s supply bag? So she doesn’t have to ask for snacks from the Penthouse Guy? I still don’t know whether it’s a good or a bad sign that her wound […]
Happiness: Ep 8 GB’s Character Summary
I’ll quote Growing_Beautifully’s summary and post comments here and there. @nrllee @pkml3 Lt Lee gives some prelim results of a clinical trial to HTS – something seems to be working. 72% of the severly ill patients have longer cycles (of being human) and fewer frequencies of their symptoms. Back in Episode 7 (time stamp 1:00:17), […]
Happiness: Ep 7 Quick Takes
1. The Penthouse Guy When I was listing the positives and negatives of each tenant in Apartment, I said that the Penthouse guy was an “asset” to have. Agree, @nrllee. I peg him as a rich kid. Probably in tech, because of his geeky outfit in Episode 2. But he gave SaeBom a mask, didn’t […]
Happiness: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
Thread is now open. Gifs from silvertons’ tumblr credit: silvertons’ tumblr gifs from dramaism’s tumblr credit: dramaism’s tumblr Ha! This couple is my antidote to the sickening aegyo put on by the couple from “Hometown Cha Cha Cha.” Let’s enjoy the show!
Happiness: Episode 6 Highlights
I’ll write Ep 5 Highlights later… A. The opening scene 1. I was wrong. In one of my comments, I theorized that the Pharma Boss lusted after LtCol Han’s wife. As it turned out, he showed symptoms of the disease because he took the medicine Next. He was gulping down fluids before Han was called […]
Happiness: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers and discussions. “Zompires” is the word that @Growing_Beautifully coined for the infected people. Gifs from minhyowon’s tumblr: source: minhyowon’s tumblr She was so thrilled to claim him as her hubby. (Really now, all brides should be this excited on their wedding day.) Too bad that he didn’t see […]
Happiness: Episode 4 Highlights
Without further ado. 1. The hug For SaeBom, happiness is tied to relief that she isn’t trapped all alone in that apartment. If the world as she knows it must fall apart, at least, she has YiHyun with her. This reminded me of the comic strip “Love is…” She’s different from the mistress of Unit […]
