Poem a Day: On MinHo

Poetry was NOT the only thing that MinHo wanted to forget about BoYoung. He also wanted to forget an ugly and disgusting side that HE thought he’d seen in her in college. My theory is that he dumped her because he discovered that her sincerity and her kindness were only skin-deep. The major difference between […]

Poem a Day: BoYoung’s Beach Chimera

I know this is bothering a lot of MinHo supporters, so let me weigh in on this. For me, when a director or scriptwriter does a scene over and over again, there’s a point being communicated. The challenge for me is trying to get into their “heads” and understand what they mean by the images […]

Poem a Day: Flash Poll, Ep 10, cont

Here are my reasons. 1. As much as I feel Dr. Ye’s inner struggles, he doesn’t win points for inertia. He actually loses points because in this episode, he did nothing to get her back. I’ll give a rundown of his actions in this episode. Day 1 after he rejected her: At 4:00 minute mark, […]

Poem a Day: LaLa Land? Reply 1988??

Per PaperClip credit: theflowergirl’s tumblr That dancing scene alludes to Lala Land, where the characters of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone (sorry, I only know the actors’ names) did NOT end up together. #ouch  Being a closet Ye Liner (ha!), I thought BoYoung was fantasizing about her wedding dance. She was wearing white, you see. […]

Poem a Day: Flash Poll Episode 9

MinHo holds steady. Why hasn’t he jumped ahead now that Dr. Ye officially dumped BoYoung? Because unlike the ignorant Ye Liners, I’m giving Dr. Ye a chance to redeem himself given that we already know his mysterious backstory. We were right to foresee that Dr. Ye didn’t love BoYoung enough to stick around and fight […]

Poem a Day: What Would Oppa Do?

lol. This is just a follow up to my earlier post to PaperClip. Poem a Day: Response to Paperclip   I said that in Episode 8, Dr Ye’s behavior left me UNDERwhelmed. BoYoung told him that she was upset that MinHo blurted out a secret about them. If he saw BoYoung as a GIRLfriend, then […]

Poem a Day: Response to Paperclip

The nice thing about NOT gushing over the romance and getting stuck in the moment – like most fangirls do (cough cough)  – is that we can discuss IDEAS rather than how handsome the actor is or swoony his actions are.  I’m glad when I read your comments and I don’t see comments like “I […]

Poem a Day: A New Ship Is Born

I’m cleaning out the kitchen writing desk and I see these these random sticky notes on APaD that I scribbled while waiting for coffee to brew or chicken to roast. I’ll post them here. The buffet. I think the roadside buffet was hands down better than the hotel buffet. I was terribly UNIMPRESSED with the […]

Poem a Day: List of Poems, Ep 1 to 8

As requested by sumei6462. I hope she’s not a spammer nor a troll. 😂  Will edit later. MinHo shippers: Just a heads-up. MinHo is capable of noble idiocy. More so than Dr. Ye, a self-confessed unemotional guy.  Don’t assume that he and BoYoung are the endgame just because we see more of his struggles and his […]
