I know many of are staying for the male lead Hoon, played by Kim Min Jae. Please post your favorite scenes, rants, spoilers, analyses, predictions and theories here. The two of them played the “Ideal Type” game. KMY was trying to match his answers to GSY so he answered that his ideal is a […]

Vagabond: Eps 7 & 8 @katakwasabi’s Comment
@katakwasabi, you posted it this as a comment, but I’m re-posting it here on the blog because it’s easier than me ditto-ing everything. Thanks! — packmule3 ********************************** I read since it’s a husband and wife writer pair, we will get a show from both male and female perspectives. But….I don’t really see it yet. I personally […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 7
The title of this episode is Second Chance: Mint. I see why the theme is about second chances because all the characters had a do-over. Let’s go over them. 1. Lee Soo The obvious one was the King. The cliffhanger showed Lee Soo pounding on the door and interrupting a critical moment between Hoon and […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 6
I’ll go over four scenes quickly. One, the kissing scene: It’s anti-climactic now knowing that she was the one who kissed him. Am I being sexist? The thrill was lost because Gaedong, not Hoon, maneuvered the kiss. This is not an issue of women empowerment for me. When it comes to watching a romcom, I […]
Tale of Nokdu: On Being a Couple, continued
Blame my twinge of conscience on my Catholic upbringing. Here’s the half-a-point I promised On Being a Couple. 4.5. Eating If Yulmo wasn’t the second lead, I would fall for his gift-bearing ways in a big way. Hey, I’m the bitch who can be bribed with virtual chocolate chip cookies, right? So, it’s very sweet […]
Tale of Nokdu: Eps 3 & 4 On Being a Couple
What I love about these episodes is we’re beginning to see a pattern in their relationship. I’ll limit myself to three, four, hmmm…let’s make it four-and-half ways to be more interesting. 1. An accomplice She bails him out when he’s in trouble. She ends up being his accomplice in his shenanigans. How many times did […]
Vagabond: Eps 7 & 8 Post Spoilers Here
Please post your rants, raves, theories, and analyses for Episodes 7 and 8 here. Let’s be alert for scenes involving the President’s Secretary, Yun Hangki. He should be eliminating that ineffectual President who can’t think for himself and behaves like the lapdog of the Prime Minister. If looks could kill, somebody would be dead by […]
Vagabond: Episodes 5 & 6 Review
My weekly review of Vagabond is my public service announcement to raise awareness of the pros and cons (mostly cons, lol) of this kdrama. If you can’t deal with criticisms, please click exit on your keyboard. 1. Who’s Shadow? No. It isn’t the boss of Haeri, Min Jaesik. As Gang said, Min Jaesik is a […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 5 Highlights
I’m glad that the writer organizes the story around a theme and that theme is made clear in the title. For this episode, the title is “Secret Love: Anemone”. 1. King’s secret love This is self-explanatory. Lee Soo loves Gaedong but he’s keeping it a secret. He knows very well that to reveal her identity […]
Bitch Talk: When It Rains, It Pours
This is going to be death of me: 5 dramas, 7 days. Monday and Tuesday: 1. Tale of Nokdu Or “How to Win a Girl in 10 Days.” This story of Nokdu and DongJu is what I’d call a “same-age” romance. They both bug each other but they play well together, too. It’s a little […]
Tale of Nokdu: Episode 4 Highlights
I get the title now. I get why it’s called the Tale of Nokdu. It’s because this is the story of how he stole our hearts. Not just Dongju’s heart, but ours as well. My good friend @lovebangwon fell in love with him faster than I did. She wrote: I think i slowly fall for nokdu […]
When the Camellia Blooms: Ep 5 and 6 Review, part 1
The outstanding feature of this show is the well-developed characters. I almost dislike the whodunit mystery because it distracts me for just savoring the idiosyncrasies of all the personalities. Take for the instance the Police Chief. He’s the lead investigator of a high-profile, serial murder case but he can’t figure out who his young protégé’s […]
Tale of Nokdu: A Poem a Day Do-Over
We finally have a romcom that fits Jang Dong Yoon to a T. I like it when Nokdu bragged how handsome he looked, all the while expecting to be rebuffed with a snide comeback. He said, “Why? Am I kind of good-looking? It’s no joke, right?…(crickets)…What? I thought you’d say something back to me.” This […]
