Love Scout: Ep 9 Open Thread
The thread is open. @Welmaris said that there’s only one episode this week because of the Lunar New Year celebration last Wednesday. Great! That gives me time to binge watch up to Episode 8 then. A cdrama starring Dylan Wang, “Guardians of the Dafeng,” recently caught my eye. He plays a rookie police officer who […]

It refers to the heroine JiYoon (JY) whose job as a headhunter is to […]
Love Scout: Ep 1 On Romantic Scenes
Since I panned the romance in “When the Phone Rings” as formulaic and makjang, it’s just fitting that I give you an example of a romantic scene I approve of. Let me present you with the “rocky staircase” moment in “Love Scout.” Timestamp: 20:15. I’ll begin with the backstory. The heroine Kang JiYoon (JY) is […]
