From Oppa’s Goddess: Packmule, LMH is serving in the army now. So nothing new from him, Korea is now in shortage of “oppa” actors. So many are serving in the army. LMH, JCW, KSH, Siwan, Taecyeon, etc. it’s time for “dongsaeng” actors or (one of my cousins name these older actor as) “oppahjussi” —> ahjussi […]
Hwayugi: Lee Seunggi’s Heels
It was supposed to be a heart-throbbing moment when OhGong strode across the room to break up SunMi’s reunion with her “first love.” But to me, the fantasy of Lee Seunggi as The Boss was shattered the second I saw — The freaking heels of his shoes. Are those 3 inches?!! They’re like clunky heels my […]
Just Bitching: Only in Kdramas…
Hand shielding her face from sunlight = romance Context: He gets on the bus and sees the sleeping girl. He doesn’t know her because he’s saying under his breath, “She’s in our grade but I’ve never seen her before. Maybe she’s a transfer student?” lol. Hand-shielding is a sweet gesture on kdramas, but if this […]
Just Bitching: The Ramen Non-report Report
Okay. The Great Ramen War was a dud but I’m obligated to follow up with a report. Nissen Ramen won. Why? Because that Shin Black was too spicy for this un-Spice Girl. All the time I was psyching myself for the saltiness of these instant noodles, I should have been worrying about the spiciness. I […]
Just Bitching: Piggy Backs
Pet Peeve #19 When I first began to watch kdramas, I thought piggy backs were the rudest kind of carry. A few years later and with dozens of kdramas under my belt, I’ve toned down my opposition to the piggy back. I now think it’s the second rudest kind of carry (I’ll tell you in a […]
Bitch talk: Eodieseo Wasseumnikka?
Translation: Where are you from? Yesterday, I happened to glance at the map of where the viewers of this blog live, and something caught my attention. Please educate me, bitches. Am I correct? 1. Taiwan 2. Philippines 3. Australia 4. Indonesia 5. Singapore 6. Malaysia 7. Thailand but where on earth is #8? Is that one […]
Just Bitching: What’s for Dinner?
The Great Ramen War. While watching ChiWon and YoonYi in Episode 7 of Jugglers eat ramen at a convenience store, I realized that my taste buds have yet to be introduced to this staple of kdramas, the Korean ramen in a styrofoam bowl. Only the ubiquitous Japanese brand, Nissin (not Nissan, lol) is found in […]
Just Bitching: Joining the “Dark Side”
Facepalm. I realized that my resistance to kdrama was futile when: -I have to turn on Closed Captioning to watch reruns of Pride and Prejudice, and North and South. I beg your pardon but I don’t understand posh English anymore. -I’m the only one in the family who doesn’t think kimchee smells like rotting fish. […]
Just Bitching: Waiting for the Subs
I feel her. Knock. Knock. Knock. When are the subs coming out? Please? I’m waiting so desperately. Peekaboo? Are you working on them? Now? Now? Are the subs coming out now?? I love youuuu, subbers. No! Go away!! Okay, bye…. Tick tock tick tock.
Happy Bitches: Monday Wishes

Just Bitching: Pet Peeve #35
Rooftop apartments with flimsy external metal staircases. I don’t know why kdramas make rooftop apartments romantic. Without air-conditioning or heater, it must be brutally hot there in the summer and cold as tundra in the winter. Then those staircases? They must be a pain when you have sack-loads of groceries to bring up in the […]
Just Bitching: Bromance
Pet Peeve #16 Fine! Call it “bromance” if the story revolves around two homosexual males involved in a romantic relationship with each other. But if we’re talking about a close, platonic relationship between two heterosexual males, then there are far better terms to use than bromance. Call it what it is: male bonding, camaraderie, fellowship […]
Just Bitching: Kdrama Pet Peeve #15
Head Wounds. Okay. I understand that there’s always a hospital scene in kdramas because, like Subway and Starbucks, drama writers get a kickback from the Hospital PPL. But directors should work on their head traumas. 1. First, the wound site. The wrapped-around bandage is gleaming white except for this spot of bloodstain conveniently located on […]
Jugglers: The Obligatory Post on Daniel Choi’s Butt
Pertness has a new definition: Daniel Choi’s butt. It’s so cheeky it deserves a whole post of its own. You could say that I heard the booty call, and I answered. This reminded me of Bugs Bunny saying, “What’s up, Doc? “Butt’s up, Doc?” His forearm muscles? They have nothing compared to his gluteus maximus. We spanked hit […]
