The story of my kdrama life: waiting for subs. While waiting for subs, I trawled tumblr and borrowed random gifs to put comments on them. Just remember: my comments may or may be out of context because 1. I haven’t watched the show, 2. I’m pulling your leg, and 3. I’m using this time to […]
The Great Seducer: TripleM’s Apples
My friend TripleM wrote me this. I’m posting it here because her comment made me think and I appreciate that. Thanks, TripleM! **************************** Hi @packmule3 Nice write up on the fisherman allegory. I actually sympathise with Se Joo’s character the most and feel sorry that he is the outcast here. The trio’s friendship has always […]
The Great Seducer: SooJi’s Revenge
I find the outrage of the SooJi’s fangirls vacuous. 😀 I’ll paraphrase one post I read earlier: SH led on both girls. He was the one who wanted to get married and forced Sooji. She repeatedly told him that she didn’t want a fake marriage but he insisted. He led her on. He then “fell […]
The Great Seducer: Death Notice
Warning: Don’t read this if you’re a SJoo fangirl, a snowflake or a Nervous Nelly. I’ve written earlier that there appears to be constant foreshadowing of SJoo’s death. I know that there’s going to be a bloodshed in the story. For one, it’s written in the actual story. Valmont dies in a duel. Btw, this […]
The Great Seducer: April Fool’s Preview
Who watches previews? Why on earth would people be foolish enough to watch previews and then get riled up about them? A preview is a PREview. Couldn’t they wait till AFTER the episode was televised to see if they have reasons to be truly aggravated? It’s like that infernal trick question, “Honey? Do I look […]
The Great Seducer: Annoying Things
My problem with this kdrama is that I think KNOW, every week, I’m getting played by the director+writer and I’m still falling for it. Every Tuesday night, they toss me a bone of dilemma and, me being a female dog (aka bitch), I gnaw at it all week until I’ve a toothache by the time Monday […]
The Great Seducer: On SeJoo
When I read these comments about how awesome Sejoo is, I no longer wonder why so many girls are fooled by a handsome face. Public Service Announcement: Be leery of him. He’s not the good guy that you think he is. In my opinion, he’s the one who resembles Valmont the closest. Remember when I […]
The Great Seducer: Do the Math, Please
I get it that our hero, ShiHyun, doesn’t know what infinity is. But hey, can’t he even count how many times he previously met TaeHee? credit: ahjummanshies He thought that this was their third meeting. He said this: credit: ahjummamshies lol. The blogger unicaahjumma pointed out that he miscalculated. I wanna correct Si-hyun. He and Tae-hee […]
The Great Seducer: Explaining Taehee and ShiHyun
When I read something I disagree with in soompi or dramabeans, I typically assess if it’s worth my time to challenge. Most of the time, my response is to ignore and walk away. I’m a Bitch, not Holden Caulfield, aka Catcher in the Rye. It isn’t my job to save people from stupid. However, this […]
The Great Seducer: Gifs Galore
I’ve noticed that I’ve been too verbose lately. 😂 For a change, I’ll focus on pics in this post. 1. Guys are indeed visual creatures like what KiYoung said. I like it when SH couldn’t help but be entranced by TH’s loveliness. I like those moments because he wasn’t faking his reactions. He had no need […]
The Great Seducer: The Fisherman Allegory
My friend nearsea in soompi posted me this message over there. *************************** Dear hii! Sorry, I have been AWOL, also please do know that I do read all your posts from time to time, and congrats on your website! Your takes on the show are funny and hilarious like always lol, also I loved your […]
The Great Seducer: Seduce Me With Doodles
If ever this Episode 12 is made into one of those bodice-ripper romances, I’ve a perfect book title and cover for it. I thought it was funny how SH’s doodles became sort of a sign of his love for TH. He first drew the doodle of TaeHee in Episode 4 when it finally dawned on […]
The Great Seducer: Episode 9
I’m trying hard not to bitch about this episode because I like Joy and I want her drama to do well. But I’m getting annoyed with the way the director and scriptwriter glossed over missing details as if the audience wouldn’t notice them. For instance, the move. Don’t tell me that SJ’s revenge plan ONLY […]
The Great Seducer: On SJ’s Revenge Plot
Incoming long post. Sorry this took forever. I found out by accident that my husband was planning to surprise me with an overnight beach trip TOMORROW (you gotta love men!!) and I couldn’t find my beach outfits (because duh!!! It’s winter here. They’re all packed away! lol. As I said you’ve gotta love men and […]
