@GB, I’m reposting my reply to you (with edits) out here so it’s easier for me to find for reference in the future. Yes, the 9th prince did not seem at all inclined to go near the emperor. He also remained mute with everyone at first. Shen Wan managed to get him to speak by […]

Head Over Heels: Eps 9 & 10 My Reaction Post
These last two episodes are a dumpster fire. I want GyeongWoo back. Un-devour him, BongSu! I want that self-pitying evil shaman Yeomhwa gone. Her viewers’ approval rating is equal to my Greek yogurt fat content: 0%. Gee, screenwriter. Not all mothers who have lost a child turn into psycho like this character. What makes her […]

Coroner’s Diary: The List of Gifts
If @agdr03 was here, I would have asked to give us a list of kisses in this cdrama. That’s her forte. But she’s attending to family matters, so I’ll content myself with a list of gifts Yan Chi has given Shen Wan. I like to keep track of things like this. From Episode 3. 1. […]
Head Over Heels: Ep 8 The Meaning of the Title
Why is the title of this kdrama “Head Over Heels”? Well, the most obvious answer is because our female lead SeongAh (SA) falls madly in love with GyeongWoo (GW). The metaphorical meaning of “head over heels” is to be smitten with love (some people may call it infatuation or lust) that you feel as if […]
Marry My Husband: Sato Takeru version
Yikes! Was I living under a rock? How come I didn’t know that this dorama was out already? Eight of 10 episodes are available on Amazon Prime. Anybody here watching this? Fern? Welmaris? I didn’t finish the original kdrama starring Park MinYoung and Na InWoo. But Sato Takeru is enough inducement for me to binge […]

Coroner’s Diary: Ep 15 The Proposal
You don’t have to watch the full episode or the previous episodes to appreciate the proposal at the 30:47 mark. No context is required to understand. His love confession can stand alone. I suggest if you have access to Episode 15, just fast-forward to the scene. It’s swoon-worthy in a good way. It isn’t toe-curling, […]
Head Over Heels: Ep 7 Highlights
For @agdr03. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 I like this drama because it’s relatively cliché-free. Just when I expect it to show me an overused trope, e.g., “to fall head over heels in love at first sight,” it upends the trope, e.g., to make the love interest enter the room upside down…or literally, heels over head. However, for all […]
Coroner’s Diary: First Impressions
Don’t confused this with the anime series on Netflix called “The Apothecary Diaries.” Here’s the basic 411. The main actors? Landy Li: She’s the cutie in “GO Into Your Heart” which I enjoyed watching. She looks like Zhao LuSi. Ao Rui Peng: He was the male lead in “Wrong Carriage, Right Groom.” In some angles, […]
