Doctor Slump: Ep 7 & 8 Open Thread

The thread is open. Watching this couple interact, I’m convinced that great friends do make the best lovers.  Incompatibility isn’t an issue. The outlooks and goals in life, if not similar, are aligned. The quirky sense of humor (or weirdness) is appreciated. And there’s sheer pleasure in each other’s company. I enjoy watching these two […]

Hidden Love: Quick Update

@agdr03, I haven’t forgotten my Valentine’s Day promise. I restarted watching Ep 23 yesterday, and am about halfway done with Ep 24 today. I stopped after their trip to his mom’s cemetery. Will try to write this weekend. In the meantime, I found this BTS of their Ep 24 couch kiss.

Whatcha Cooking for Meatless Friday, Feb 16?

This Lenten tradition on this blog started three years when I asked @agdr03 for a good seafood dish, and she told me to cook fish with oyster sauce. Oyster sauce??? It wouldn’t be a hyperbole to say that oyster sauce opened a whole new world for me. I thought soy sauce and fish sauce were […]

Doctor Slump: Ep 5 My Highlights, part 1

Ash Wednesday

Lent prepares us for Easter while Advent prepares us for the birth of Jesus. But the Advent season has become so commercialized because of the […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I made a bingo card with kdrama tropes. Everything should be easy to find. The middle grid is a bit tricky because  some of you may have not heard of the word before. 🙂 I want you to learn this word because it’s topical for Valentine’s day and for us, kdrama viewers. […]

Happy Lunar New Year!!

Happy Year of the Dragon, everyone! Wishing you all good health, good fortune, good times, good kdramas, and good food! What are you eating for New Year’s? Maybe I can order something similar from the Chinese, Vietnamese, or Korean restaurant near me this weekend. Can somebody tell me what that liquid @kennylsong poured in the […]

Doctor Slump: Ep 4 My Highlights

If I ignore all the legal scenes, I’m fine with this romcom. It reminds me of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” In that well-loved play, Beatrice and Benedick sparred wits until Benedick was tricked into believing that Beatrice secretly loved him. He didn’t know that he was being set up when he overheard three men […]
