That this kdrama revolves around death should have been banished it to my “Makjang: Do Not Watch” dustbin. But I’m recommending this drama for those viewers who became dispirited from our last foray into the drama “Little Women.” Without a doubt, LW had top-notched direction, cinematography, and acting. But it left me feeling listless. You […]
Little Women: Final Grade
@nrllee already gave this show an F. I thought she was being generous. I’ll go lower than that and give it an M. M for Makjang, Moronic, Morally unacceptable, and Meta. I posit that the opening scene is meta. Do you see it? gifs from bleuhappiness’ tumblr source: bleuhappiness’ tumblr Instead of Mrs. Park’s hand […]

Little Women: Ep 11 Quick Takes
I’m doing a bait-and-switch scheme. This commentary is my “quick takes” but it’s a “looong read” for you. 1. Mr. Park’s suicide The episode started off with the subdued Mr. Park and Mrs. Park awaiting the results of the mayoral election. This is what I wrote about in the comment section. I took it for […]
Little Women: Nrllee’s Ep 11 Recap/Madcap
I’m posting @nrllee’s recap here. I’ve no time to add comments or gifs now. Maybe later. Thanks, @nrllee! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Ep 11 Hospital apple scene – the extended version. Mr P wins pre polls(?) by a margin of over 28%. Mr P says, “it’s time to start over again.” (Huh?). He gazes at the plate of […]
Little Women: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
Finally, this drama is ending. 1. gifs from moonlightsdream’s tumblr source: moonlightsdream’s tumblr I’m crossing my finger that JongHo’s loyalty and support don’t become a plot twist in the end. If he’s a good guy, I want IK to reciprocate his feelings and marry him. I don’t want her to end up like Jo in […]
Just Bitching: Naked Torso Alert, Part 2
Part 1 is here: Just Bitching: Naked Torsos Alert The Obligatory Post on Shower Scenes is here: Just Bitching: The Obligatory Post on Shower Scenes 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 At other drama forums, I could tell the maturity level of fangirls by the number of OMG’s they post at the sight of their oppa’s naked torso. It amused me that […]
Bitch Talk: On “Some” Relationships
The word “some” has popped up in two kdramas I’m currently watching, in Ep 5 of “Little Women” Choi Doil: I’ve always made sure not to mix business with pleasure until now. But we’re not dating I swear. A fling, perhaps? Netflix subbed “some” as “fling.” and in the premiere episode of “Love is for […]
Little Women: Ep 10 On Jang SaPyeong
@nrllee, I compiled the scenes on Jang SaPyeong, and the blue orchid. -pm3 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 1. From Episode 4 IK: It’s strange that there’s a whole book written about this orchid. JH: Joel Fields. Jang SaPyeong. It’s even stranger that someone translated this. Note: If we’re not careful, it’s easy to assume that the Korean man […]
Little Women: Nrllee’s Ep 10 Recap/Madcap
The only time we write recaps in this blog is if we’re madly in love with the drama 😍or we’re rip-snorting 😤 mad at the drama. This one falls in the second category. Thanks, @nrllee for this MADcap™. @packmule3 that’s high praise when you compare me to those legendary ladies in DramaBeans 😉. I am […]
Little Women: Nrllee’s Ep 9 Recap
Thanks, @nrllee, for doing the recap. I think your recaps are more thorough than those made by the original dramabeans duo, javabeans and girlfriday. I’ll just comment on a few things because I already wrote my “Quick Takes” on this episode. But I’ve lots of fun gifs to add. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Show down. IJ didn’t believe […]
Little Women: Ep 9 Quick Takes
Quick takes. 1. Unnie is dead. IJ: I love it when you make that face. You’re like a little child who has lost her toy. Mrs. Park: I was having so much fun until just a moment ago. IJ: Did you think I’d be that stupid? Did you seriously think that I’d believe Hwayoung was […]
Little Women: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. Gamechanger. I think there are two gamechangers in this drama: the actors, Kim GoEun and Wi HaJoon. They’re the reason I’ve stuck with this drama although most of the time I’m “hate-watching” it. No matter how dumb Kim GoEun’s character is or how shady Wi HaJoon’s character is, it’s been a […]
Little Women: Nrllee’s Ep 8 Recap
Thanks, @nrllee, for taking one for the team! Four more episodes and this drama is over. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Choi has a deadline to “kill” IJ. Mr P wants her dead by midnight tomorrow or it will be Choi’s life on the line. Choi tells Mr P he intends to get rid of IJ in Singapore where […]
