Without further ado. A. Mr. Park He has a doppelganger who’s still alive. If Sigma arrived in 2001, and Mr Park was one in that group of first time-travelers, then Mr. Park arrived around 2001, too. That means he’s been avoiding his doppelganger for 20 years. 1. I like that SeoHae took him to task […]

Joseon Exorcist: Jang Dong Yoon’s Apology
On March 27, Jang Dong Yoon issued a personal apology regarding the controversy. He was the first one from the cast members and production team on “Joseon Exorcist” to apologize. Since I don’t speak Hangul, I’m going to post both translations from allkpop and soompi to get a better grasp of the nuance. I believe […]
River Where the Moon Rises: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers, and opinions. Nrllee said that refilmed (the “new and improved”) Episode 1 would be shown this week. Good news! I’m so ready to erase this image of Jisoo from memory. From the start, I found his smug face was off-putting. This wasn’t the image of an “innocent” On […]
River Where the Moon Rises: Ep 12 The Fight Scene
Is there anybody here who’s watching this for the palace drama? If you are expecting any analysis from me on the politics of this Goyurgeo nation, then please be forewarned that I’m treating this kdrama like a pop-up story book. That is, I only pop up during the fairy tale moments between the main couple, […]
Joseon Exorcist: First and Last Impressions
When I read that this kdrama was canceled after two episodes, my instant reaction was: I felt sorry for the cast members. They worked hard. And I’m sure these kdramas are more exhausting, tedious, and expensive to produce because of the COVID safety protocols. But I say that for the writer Park Gye-Ok, it was […]

Takane and Hana: Episode 1, part 2
The first part is here: Takane and Hana: Episode 1, part 1 Most of the subs here are from Viki but when I couldn’t understand them, I went over to Kissasian. ************** Where did I leave off? Takane dropped Hana at her home and they apologized for their behavior at the arranged marriage family meeting. Hana […]
Takane and Hana: Episode 1, part 1
I know for many of you this dorama (or Japanese drama) isn’t going to be sophisticated enough, and that’s fine. But if I had a young daughter who was beginning to exhibit curiosity about boy-girl relationships, I think this would be a good series to watch together and have a conversation afterwards about dating expectations. […]
River Where the Moon Rises: Ep 11 The Cave Scene
I just finished watching Ep 11 and I think viewers will get confused with the cave scene. Here’s my interpretation on it. The monk brought Dal to his cave where he did his own training. Monk: You’re going to become a clean, white canvas. The toxin in your body, the rotten energy in your mind, […]
River Where the Moon Rises: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
The thread is now open for spoilers and discussions. Now that I know who the characters are, the plot direction is easy to anticipate, especially the movements of the evil characters like Go WonPyo. The motives of the secondary characters, namely General Go and the herbalist/spy, are a little bit more complicated, but, frankly, I’m […]
