Was I or was I not right to describe Dr. Ye as INFLEXIBLE? 😉 Back in Episode 3 (before Episode 6 aired), I called both him and Minho out for being jerks. I said their difference was MinHo was a jerk only to BoYoung, while he was a jerk to his colleagues. Poem a Day: […]
Poem a Day: Ten Things I Hate About You
Remember this movie? There was a poem in that movie too read and composed by Kate. 10 Things I Hate About You I hate the way you talk to me And the way you cut your hair I hate the way you drive my car I hate it when you stare I hate your big […]
Poem a Day: The Great Seducer Connection
If you aren’t watching “A Poem a Day” yet, I recommend binge-watching it this weekend. It’s fun to watch and the writing is good. It’s a welcome respite from all the makjang tropes in The Great Seducer. 🙂 For “Great Seducer” viewers, this is what I’m talking about. When BoYoung’s father passed away, the mom […]
Poem a Day: Who’s the Male Lead? Week 3
To spoof the US Presidential Election 2016, every Wednesday, I’ll update my Bitches-R-Us Boyfriend-o-meter to illustrate the two candidates’ chances of winning our gal BoYoung’s heart, ergo the title “Male Lead” of this kdrama. As of Episodes 5 and 6, my Boyfriend-o-meter indicates that it’s LEANING toward that rascal MinHo as the boyfriend. I’m sure […]
Poem a Day: The MinHo Clown Car
Rats! My Ye Line just got roadkilled by the MinHo clown car in Episode 5. Lol. The other Ye Liners will undoubtedly wonder, “What is that bitch smoking? Didn’t BoYoung give him the poetry book, ‘It’s Okay If You Don’t Love Me’? What more proof does she want that’s it’s BoYoungDoctor Ye?” The episode started […]
Poem a Day: Stop Shipping, Nearsea!
😀 My longtime friend, nearsea, wrote this: @packmule3 You know, after watching episode 1, I thought it was decided that I’m team min ho, I don’t know why, it must be because of the actor, :D. But everyone seems to be raving about Yeliner, and I guess I am on the second lead ship this […]
Poem a Day: Episode 3
As I mentioned elsewhere, I like how this kdrama assigns each major character a catchphrase to give a sneak peek of his behavior. Take for instance, the male lead, Doctor Ye. His catchphrase is obviously, “May I give you an advice?” His habit of giving unsolicited advice creates the impression that he’s an annoying Mr. Know-It-All. […]
Poem a Day: Who’s the Male Lead?
Does it matter? Can’t we enjoy this show without worrying who she’ll end up with? If you ask me, I prefer the older guy, Dr. Ye. But if you ask me again who I think the story is building up to be the male lead, my answer is, as of Episode 4, it’s the younger guy, […]
Poem a Day: Episode 4
My only claim to college literature is that I kept company with the “hip” crowd discussing Sartre, Rimbaud and Tagore. 🙂 I merely sponged off other people’s brains and soaked in their ideas. Nowadays, we say, “Pass me the popcorn” when we’re about to witness fireworks during a debate. But back in those days, we […]
Poem a Day: Reply Series for Therapists
I was looking for a slow-paced kdrama with a slice-of-life theme and I think I found it in “Poem a Day.” It reminded me of the Reply series. lol. Who wants to join me here? lovebangwon? onlysb? The literary title almost scared me away but the poetic execution of the words into actions convinced me […]
