I don’t mind if new kdramas are thin on the ground this month. We had plenty of good ones last month. I’m still trying to catch up with you all on “Marry My Husband.” I’m four episodes behind. All your comments on how satisfying the last episode is makes me watch to skip everything and […]
What Are We Watching in January 2024?
It should not be a secret that I’ve long admired — and envied — those with a literature background. Being unromantic, I’m not naturally wired to see harmony and synthesis in the world so I struggle to evoke them with words. Here’s a poem “The Year” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox which encapsulates how I feel […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in December 2023?
Gosh! Where did November go? I just blinked and December clocked in. I can only take a look at one new drama this month since my schedule is loaded with holiday and year-end festivities, and dramas I’m currently following. Monday and Tuesday: “The Matchmakers” (16 episodes) ends on Dec 25 Wednesday and Thursday: “A Good […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in November 2023?
November will be a daunting month for those with an extreme fear of missing out, better known as FOMO. I counted no less than five dramas with engaging storylines to premiere this month. I’ll have to be very picky about which dramas to add to my pile since I still have “Strong Woman Namsoon,” “A […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in October 2023?
Woe is me! Throughout this month, I must resist the temptation of hoarding up – and snacking — on Halloween fun-sized chocolate bars. And as if that isn’t bad enough, I must also resist succumbing to this month’s supply of eye-candy courtesy of kdramaland. 1. Strong Girl Namsoon A spinoff of that hit drama “Strong […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in September 2023?
I’m watching “My Lovely Liar” till it ends third week of September. I’m still getting my bellyaches from the comedy of “Behind Your Touch.” (Yes, I’m behind writing my notes but there’s nothing I can do.) I just started “Destined With You” and I might hang around for a while. And I’m still reviewing “Hidden […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in August 2023?
Boooo. I recently learned that the premiere of Kim Soo Hyun’s drama, “Queen of Tears,” which was slated for July 31, has been pushed back to 2024. Booo. Kim Soo Hyun was last seen in “Psycho But It’s Okay” (2020) so I was eagerly anticipating this new collaboration with Kim JiWon (“My Liberation Notes”). Their […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in July 2023?
For now, I’m watching the sunsets and sunrises since I’m at a beach. My Asian 2023 trip continues but when my hubby and I return to the good ole US, I’ll be watching these dramas. 1. Uncanny Counter 2 Cast: Kim SeJeong (“A Business Proposal”), Jo Byung Kyoo (“Sky Castle”), Yoo Jun Sang (“Alchemy of […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in June 2023?
Hey! Where did May go? I’ll be traveling in June and part of July so my posts will be sporadic. Have a great summer, y’all! Here’s what on my travel list. 1. King The Land Starring Lee JunHo (we all know who he is) and YoonAh (“Big Mouth” and “The King in Love”) Dear Lee […]
What Are We Watching in May 2023?
I don’t mind that only a couple of new kdramas are on my radar this month because I still have “Dr Romantic 3,” the cdrama “Till the End of the Moon,” and “Stealer: The Treasure Keeper.” “Stealer” with Joo Won is fun though it seems to be a low-key, low-testosterone, low-budget version of “Healer.” I […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in April 2023?
I don’t know if this is good news or bad news, but I’ll be back Stateside in a couple of weeks and my next round of travel won’t be till June. This means if I start a drama this month, I’ll be around to finish it before it’s time for me to pack my bags […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in March 2023?
This list conveys my aspirations, rather than goals this month. 1. Delivery Man The premise of this kdrama is like “May I Help You?” The hero is a taxi driver who fulfills the last wishes of his dead riders. Since one of his customers is the heroine, I’m assuming that there’s also a bit of […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in February 2023?
It’s time to rev our engines for the dramas this month. 1. Our Blooming Youth Cast: Park HyungSik (“Happiness”) and Jeon So Nee He’s the Crown Prince with some mysterious curse (illness?). She’s only surviving member of her family. Her whole family was massacred, and as the lone survivor, she’s blamed for tragedy. Talk about blaming […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in January 2023?
I don’t know what happened to the glut of dramas in December. I only have one new drama this January and it won’t premiere till the end of this month. That’s okay. I’m currently watching: “Alchemy of Souls 2: Light and Shadow” – it ends this weekend “Forbidden Marriage” “Unlock My Boss” I might get […]
