People find this episode a bit of a downer because the first half is spent showing DanOh looking for Haru, then second half is about Haru returning with no memories of DanOh. But this is a good time to look at Kyung and other things. 1. The rehabilitation of Kyung As to be expected, the […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 6 (11 – 12), part 2
I know reading my long posts can be tedious because it’s wordy. Although it’s time-consuming, I like to explain the actions and write down the dialogues to show you where I’m coming from when I interpret the drama. Sharing “feelings” is well and good (i.e., oppa’s handsome!) for another sites but here I’d like to […]
Flower Crew: Ep 14 @nrllee’s Recap
I grew up with the proverb “Waste not, want not” drilled into my brain. @nrllee wrote an excellent recap and it would be a shame not to repost up here. I’ll add my comments. Ep14 (The Return) Episode 14: The Return: Shiny Mint. The Viki version translated it as “Remorse.” The Kissasian version said,”The Return.” […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 6 (11 – 12) Analysis, part 1
We’re not halfway yet but I feel as if so many things already happened between DanOh and Haru. Maybe it’s because of the temporal breaks. The switch between Stage and Shadow divides time into smaller moments so instead of a day passing like a scenic panorama, a day then becomes flashes of disjointed occasions. The […]
Flower Crew: Ep 13 @nrllee’s Recap
I’m re-posting @nrllee’s recaps here because she did it much better than I could. Thanks, @nrllee. I’ll just insert my thoughts here and there. Ep13 – Hope The theme of this episode is “hope” and the flower is the bellflower. The first meaning of hope is linked to Lee Soo’s and Hoon’s continued deception. Hoon […]
Extra-ordinary You: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
I’m slow so go on ahead and discuss this week’s episodes without me. There’s baseball today and it’s do or die for my Washington Nationals. I can ship this girl with Kim Min Jae, Yeo Jin Goo, Siwan, Kyungsoo Do (oooooh, why not?) and all other male actors < 30. Kim Hye-yoon is my new […]

Part 1 is here: Extra-ordinary You: Ep 5 (Chapters 9 – 11), part 1 Part 3 should follow later. ************************** 5.

Tale of Nokdu: Ep 9 Couple Moments
I’m not doing madcaps because this episode can exist on the couple moments alone. I don’t know about you but if I were a young girl, I’d fall hard for Jang Dong Yoon’s character, Nokdu. He’s cool when he goes with the flow. The King sees them in the empty warehouse. DongJoo quickly pretends to […]
Extra-ordinary You: On Changing Fate
I’m going to re-post my response here with revisions. @peachietime said, But didnt Danoh learned that Haru can change a Stage that’s why she keeps on finding him to change her faith? That’s the whole point of finding Haru to begin with so Haru has always had that unique ability. Yes. She guessed that he […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 5 (Chapters 9 – 10), part 1
“Who am I? I want to know where I came from and where I’m headed…. Eun Dan Oh. For the first time, I heard my voice.” 1. Haru’s beginnings He first appears outside the closed gates of the school. He takes in the sunshine as if it’s his first time feeling it. He wonders, “Who […]
Tale of Nokdu: Ep 8 Madcap
This is not a recap. If you want a recap, please go to the other sides with legit play-by-play retelling of the story. This is just for people who are madly waiting for the subs to come out. Word for the day: patbingsoo ************** The episode opens with ninja whirlwind called Nokdu. He sees Dongjoo […]

Flower Crew: Eps 13 & 14 Post Spoilers Here
This is the penultimate week. Time went fast because we were looking at this guy. Will he or won’t he turn savage to keep her at his side? I’m curious to know his reason for voiding his matchmaking contract with Lee Soo. Is he going to cite Lee Soo’s breach of contract because he decided […]
Throwback Thursday: The Bridges of “My Sassy Girl”
I know it isn’t Thursday. 🙂 But this is one of the posts I should have transferred over here a long time ago from soompi. Bridges are ubiquitous in kdramas because not only are bridges visually pleasing, but they’re also easily understood as a symbol. Crossing bridges means building a relationship. The tv version of […]
