My public service announcement of the day. Stay calm, stay safe, everyone! And stay bitchy!! **************** All the talk about Yoo Yeon Sook, his Chilbongie character from “Reply 1994” and Goo Dongmae character from “Mr Sunshine” reminded me of second lead syndrome. What can I do? I’m still rooting for the guy. Do you covet […]

Tale of Nokdu: Ep 11 Madcap
This will be brief because I’ve jet-lag. 1. Yulmo wants a meal buddy. What is he? A kindergartner? He can’t eat because he’s missing DongJoo.

Tale of Nokdu: Ep 9 Couple Moments
I’m not doing madcaps because this episode can exist on the couple moments alone. I don’t know about you but if I were a young girl, I’d fall hard for Jang Dong Yoon’s character, Nokdu. He’s cool when he goes with the flow. The King sees them in the empty warehouse. DongJoo quickly pretends to […]

Tale of Nokdu: Episode 6 Review
The review you’ve been waiting for — 1. The King’s instability? If you’re tired of this writer’s nonstop reference to the King’s persecution complex, then so am I. Hey, Writer, we already GET IT that the King never felt accepted by the people because his mother was only a concubine. His younger brother was the […]
Tale of Nodku: Ep 7 Madcap
Sorry. There’ll be no pics for this one because I had technical difficulties uploading the lovely screenshots. I tried and failed. But I’ll edit when I get home tonight. Remember I only know three Korean words that are applicable to this kdrama: Nahri which means Lord, Orabeoni which means Big Brother and Saranghaeyo which means […]

All the scenes are real but the dialogues are imaginary. ****************** Yulmo decides to overlook DongJoo’s and Nokdu’s bedroom romance. He bribes Aengdu with food to get more information about Nokdu. Aengdu has […]
