Nothing stresses me out in kdramas as dealing with the stupidity of a writer. I don’t care how thrilling the actions scenes are, how handsome the actors are, or innovative the cinematography is. When the writer causes my brain to short-circuit because of stupid elements in the drama, I’m dropping the drama. So, please kdrama […]
River Where the Moon Rises: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
Edited 2/16/21 to add gifs for @Old American Lady. Gifs from thingskateknows’ tumblr credit: thingskateknows’ tumblr >>>>> The thread is now open. I read that this drama is based on a novel, “Princess Pyeonggang,” written by a film director and screenwriter, Choi Sagyu. The novel itself was based on a Korean folklore about Pyeonggang and […]
L.U.C.A.: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is now open. I’m crossing my fingers that this kdrama writer and other writers like him will stop putting Christianity and the Catholic Church in a bad light but I’m not holding my breath. Here’s a bit of FYI for those who aren’t Christians: For two millennia, the Catholic Church has been the […]
Happy Chinese New Year!
Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. May we all be bullish this year and meet our challenges head on. (lol. I’m still working on my animal doodles. And maybe waving a red umbrella and drawing red hearts on the dress aren’t such a good idea when confronting a […]

Jab We Met: “Netflix and Chill”
This is the second movie on my “Netflix and Chill” series. These are movies you can watch on Netflix when you’re just chilling out on the couch by yourself on Valentine’s Day. Contrary to the vernacular, this isn’t an invitation for casual sex. 😂 Per Google, “Jab We Met” means “When We Met” in Hindi. […]
Blind Date: “Netflix and Chill”
Although the phrase “Netflix and chill” has become a euphemism for casual sex, we will keep its innocent meaning in this blog. I recommend the French movie “Blind Date,” now being shown on Netflix, for those who want to chill out on Valentine’s Day and be solitary couch potatoes. The original French title is “Un […]
The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity: Open Thread
Here’s another drama that popped up on my Netflix. Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity, starring Mark Chao and Deng Lun (he’s the guy in black). lol. Couldn’t the director make it more obvious that these two male characters are complementary to each other? I don’t know anything about this except that I’m watching it for […]

L.U.C.A.: Eps 3 & 4 Open Thread
The thread is now open for SPOILERS, comments, and theories. I almost forgot that this is Monday-Tuesday kdrama. I must have been traumatized like this child. Oh no! What will we watch on Wednesday and Thursday now that “True Beauty” ended?? Let’s enjoy the show.
L.U.C.A.: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
Incoming missile. 1. Deplorable female character A badass, kickass, and smartass female character isn’t an idiot. Not in my book, anyway. I don’t get this writer’s female creation. GuReum is certainly one hell of a street fighter, but she can be frustratingly dense. Who on earth would think it was a brilliant idea to confront […]
Space Sweepers: Review
This movie was engrossing as soon as the opening credits rolled in. Didn’t you wonder why we were greeted “Merry Christmas” in February? Was the production company really named Merry Christmas. Lol. The lead characters were likeable. Special effects were decent. No sex scenes, can you believe that, Hollywood?! This is my review-unlike-other-reviews. 1. Imagery […]
