It’s time to reshuffle my deck of Idol Actors and choose my Top Four. My original Fab Four were: Siwan of ZE:A https://i.imgur.com/P53pihh.mp4 He’s been crossed off my list because: a. none of his recent projects sparked my interest. He has to choose better projects so I can reassess his acting skills. b. he hasn’t […]
True Beauty: Eps 15 & 16 Finale Open Thread
The thread is now open. In Episode 6, their literature teacher quoted a line from a famous poem that sent the whole class groaning. I held back from expounding about it because I figured if I waited till the end, the poem wouldn’t require any explanation. Just like “The Little Prince” by Saint-Exupery is a […]

Gifs from bright-vachirawit’s tumblr credit: bright-vachirawit’s tumblr Hmmm…has SeoJun seen JoKyung without her make-up yet? What’s the delay?

True Beauty: Ep 7 @GB’s List of Lousy Adults
When we bitches rant, we rant. And we also bring out the laundry list. 🙂 Here’s @GrowingBeautifully’s list of charges against the adults in this kdrama. She wasn’t just looking at Cha Woo Eun’s handsome face, ya know? @GB, I’m reposting it here in full. It was too good to be lost in the comment […]
True Beauty: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is now open for guilty pleasures and fun analyses. BTW, I read from the Viki comments that the drama deviated from the webtoon in that Episode 6 scene when Suho took JK’s wallet from the bullies. It was supposedly SJ who found the wallet. lol. PPT?

True Beauty: Meta-References to Other Dramas
@BethB wrote: Finally, it’s fun to see TB making meta-references to other k-dramas. It would be fun if @packmule3 could start a separate post about this and we could add our comments.

True Beauty: Episode 3 The “Revenge”
Just because the heroine JoKyung did all the heavy lifting (literally, with the box of papers) in this episode doesn’t mean that I found her to be the most interesting character of the hour. For me, Suho was more intriguing. The episode began with him draping his jacket over a hunched-up JK. He was backlit. […]

True Beauty: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
So far, so good. I enjoyed these first two episodes and here are my reasons. 1. The writer I know I kicked up a fuss earlier because I don’t like kdramas derived from comic books, especially the serialized webtoons. This is what I said… My problem with this drama is its source material. It was […]
