In case some of you are just joining this blog, let me reiterate. One reason this kdrama appeals to me is that it reminds me of a Jane Austen novel. Like an Austenite heroine, SoonDeok has an inner life, that’s reflected in her conversation with herself and relationship with the family members. Though there are […]

Doctor Slump: Ep 3 My Highlights
I’m still on board this kdrama. 1. Why JungWoo hates Nam HaNeul In his own words — JW: Okay, now let me tell you why I started to hate Nam HaNeul. With my gifted brain, I became the top-ranked student in my school, in my region, and in the country. That’s me, Yeo JungWoo. I […]
Marry My Husband: Ep 9 The Highlights
I like this episode because it’s zippy. Having seen all the kdrama tropes and their variations, I appreciate that the director didn’t slow-mo the soulful looks and silent pauses and bore us with details on how JiWon captured the flag during office field trip or managed to get SuMin and herself out of the water. […]

Bitch Talk: On KDramas That Didn’t Age Well
These kdramas and Korean movies aged poorly. I’m not talking merely about their visual effects, but the plot, content, message, and/or actors involved in the project have become unacceptable over time. That’s why Shakespeare rules. Even after four centuries, the Bard’s works endure because his insight into our human existence is timeless, universal, and relevant. […]

The Matchmakers: Ep 8 A Meaningful Life
Ep 8 Life is unpredictable; therefore life is meaningful. I shared my notes on this blog while this drama was showing. Now, I’m sharing my thoughts on the meaning of the title. I see three interpretations of the title. 1. Let’s begin with the obvious one. When an unexpected crisis comes our way, it galvanizes […]
