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 […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in December 2022?
Can you believe it? It’s December already? Where did the year go? 1. Unlock My Boss I thought this would come out in November but it was pushed back either because of the soccer games or the tragedy in Itaewon during Halloween. I said that the concept of this drama intrigues me since it reminds […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in November 2022?
To be honest, I don’t know how many of these new dramas I will have time to watch since I’m still on my business trip. I’m currently watching “May I Help You?” — which deals with the heavy topic of death. I find however that the kdrama is the soul-cleansing that I need after “Little […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Oct 2022?
My new October selections are all romcoms. That’s okay though because I already have a colossal headache from the one makjang show (“Little Women”) I’m watching till the middle of this month. 1. Cheer Up It’s a college campus romance involving cheerleaders. That’s all you need to know. I should be turned off by premise […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Sept 2022?
I’m still watching “Good Job” and “Today’s Webtoon” on Viki. Viki must have made new arrangements with Viu and IQiYi because the dramas are released almost 97% subbed. No wait time. I haven’t forgotten about cdrama, “Love Between Fairy and Devil.” I stopped at Episode 18. Here are the new dramas I’m watching this month. […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Aug 2022?
Here’s my update on my drama schedule this month. I’m watching “Love Like a Galaxy” but I’ve decided I’ll mimic the way most drama viewers watch shows, and not bother to understand the plot. The impressions I got from this pseudo-historical are that a) all Chinese mothers are the real power behind the throne, b) […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in July 2022?
I can’t take any more. Too many June dramas remain on my watch list so I’m only limiting myself to one new Kdrama this month. 1. Today’s Webtoon Synopsis from soompi: “Today’s Webtoon” is a Korean remake of the popular 2016 Japanese drama “Sleepeeer Hit!” The drama will tell the story of On Ma Eum, […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in June 2022?
I must have jinxed myself last month because I didn’t get to watch most of the dramas on my May list. Let’s see if the Kdrama gods will be kinder to me this month. 1. Cleaning Up According to soompi, this is about three women working as office cleaners at a security firm who overheard […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in May 2022?
I feel like the proverbial kid in the candy store with all the kdrama and cdrama offerings for this month. On the weekends, I have “My Liberation Notes,” “From Now On, Showtime,” and “2D1N” variety show to watch. On the weekdays, there’s Yang Yang and Zhao Luci’s “Who Rules the World” cdrama on Netflix! They’ve […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in April 2022?
I think I’ll need a romcom this month since I’m finishing up “Business Proposal” and the Chinese drama “Legally Romance” next week. I’ve my eye on four dramas. 1. “Tomorrow” The thread is here. Tomorrow: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread Cast: Kim Hee Sun (“Alice”), Rowoon (“Extra-ordinary You”), and Lee SooHyuk (“Doom at Your Service”) […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in Mar 2022?
I still have my February line-up to finish so I’m going to be pretty selective about starting a new drama this month. I’ll only consider dramas with wit, verve, and humor…and Lee Minho. 🤪 I’m making a special exception for Lee Minho’s melodrama “Pachinko” — just because. I have my eye on four dramas. 1. […]
