I’ve joked often enough that I’m a serial killer. I date kdrama series and dump them. This guy, on the other hand, died due to a cereal killer. Cereal. Get it? The Fall 2019 season of kdramas went off with a bang with so many new and promising dramas to choose from. But now eight […]
Vagabond: Open Thread
I’m dropping this kdrama but I don’t want to leave the others here hanging. You can have this space to discuss, rant, rave, analyze, theorize, and spoilers from now on. Here’s my last review: Vagabond: Episodes 7 & 8 Breakup Me to Vagabond: I’m moving on to ??? I don’t know yet. “Extraordinary You” has been […]
Vagabond: Episodes 7 & 8 Breakup
I’m a serial dater. I date kdrama series like I would a potential partner, and I give it a maximum of four weeks to impress me. Eight evening dates with a kdrama should tell me whether it’s up to my standards or not. I’m dumping you, Vagabond. Here are my reasons. One, I like physical, […]
Vagabond: Eps 7 & 8 @katakwasabi’s Comment
@katakwasabi, you posted it this as a comment, but I’m re-posting it here on the blog because it’s easier than me ditto-ing everything. Thanks! — packmule3 ********************************** I read since it’s a husband and wife writer pair, we will get a show from both male and female perspectives. But….I don’t really see it yet. I personally […]
Vagabond: Eps 7 & 8 Post Spoilers Here
Please post your rants, raves, theories, and analyses for Episodes 7 and 8 here. Let’s be alert for scenes involving the President’s Secretary, Yun Hangki. He should be eliminating that ineffectual President who can’t think for himself and behaves like the lapdog of the Prime Minister. If looks could kill, somebody would be dead by […]
Vagabond: Episodes 5 & 6 Review
My weekly review of Vagabond is my public service announcement to raise awareness of the pros and cons (mostly cons, lol) of this kdrama. If you can’t deal with criticisms, please click exit on your keyboard. 1. Who’s Shadow? No. It isn’t the boss of Haeri, Min Jaesik. As Gang said, Min Jaesik is a […]
Bitch Talk: When It Rains, It Pours
This is going to be death of me: 5 dramas, 7 days. Monday and Tuesday: 1. Tale of Nokdu Or “How to Win a Girl in 10 Days.” This story of Nokdu and DongJu is what I’d call a “same-age” romance. They both bug each other but they play well together, too. It’s a little […]
Vagabond: Eps 5 & 6 Post Spoilers Here
We’re going over this spy thriller with a fine-tooth comb to look for lice infestation… I mean, bloopers, blunders, inconsistencies, and comedy. Please post your rants, raves, theories, and analyses for Episodes 5 and 6 here.
Vagabond: On Shin Sung Rok’s Character
It’s wacky Wednesday so here’s my wacky theory on Shin Sung Rok’s character, Gi Taeung. What do I have so far on Gi Taeung? 1. I think Gi Taeung was the interviewer. 2006/08/05 Interview Interviewer: Why do you want to join NIS? HR: My father was a colonel in the Marine Corps. A fire broke […]
Vagabond: Eps 3 & 4 Review
Eventually this site will be known as “nitpick central” of Vagabond. All the other sites seem to have been blinded by the “optics” of Vagabond, and I think we’re the only ones who remain skeptical of the fanfare, and hold both the writer and director to high standards. I’m giving Episodes 3 and 4 a […]
Vagabond: Eps 3 & 4 Post Spoilers Here
You know the drill. Please post your raves, rants, spoilers, theories, analyses here. Thanks. (Tell me when Shin Sung Rok appears, okay?) It’s always interesting when a graphic artist chooses a shattered glass for the poster. The origin of the cracks in this picture appears to be Jessica. The words “Wheels turn on their Axis” […]
Vagabond: LSG’s Shower Scene
What is it with kdrama heroes brooding in the shower? Since @nrllee, @DEY and @agdr03 have been talking about the stills of Lee Seunggi’s shower scene so I searched for pics online. Soompi had them. source: Brooding Showers I’m quoting @nrllee here on the significance of brooding showers. lol. @DEY indeed. It is a well known fact […]
Vagabond: On Suzy’s Character
This is just a quick note because I’ve to rush out. I know many of us here are frustrated with Suzy’s ditzy character. But we have to remember that just because a) she’s ditzy and b) her cover as NIS agent was blown, her appearance of ineptness does NOT mean that she isn’t a double […]
Vagabond: Ep 1 & 2 First Impressions
I know you’ve been waiting for this so I’ll get straight down to business. As you probably can tell by my silence, I’m travelling. I should be back home soon to answer posts. **************************** 1. Is Go Haeri a bad guy? That opening scene had us buzzing. But no, I don’t think Suzy’s character, Go […]
