Thanks, @joonminfan, for the YT find! There seems to be four scenes excluded from four different episodes. First scene: This is prequel. It shows the first time Gu WeiYi’s and Situ Mo’s paths crossed. Gu WeiYi noticed her walking on campus as he biked past her. She didn’t notice him. In my dream world then, […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 13 Highlights
Last episode, GWY found out, through his Prof, that Situ Mo was jealous of Yu Yin. Last episode, too, STM’s friend, Meng Lu, broached the topic of jealousy. ML: So Gu WeiYi stays with her every day. Aren’t you worried? Mo: (forcefully) Cut the crap. Worry? Why should I? Now, you have to see the […]
Abyss: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
Let’s get down to business. 1. The “Abyss” I try to establish the meaning of words from the start so there’s no confusion when I use them later. In this drama, the title deserves a closer look. Barely a minute in the show, the lead character Cha Min was literally and figuratively staring at an […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 12 Highlights
I remember how it was when “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” had girls swooning for Paul Anka. Nowadays, “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” has fangirls feeling giddy over Gu Wei Yi. I laughed at the way he scooted over to her side. It was smooth like butter. credit: movielosophy’s tumblr 1. The Man-Flu This […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 11 continued
To continue where I left off yesterday. Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 11 Highlights 6. Persistence Can we just applaud this guy’s persistence? He’s indefatigable! His love confession bombed not once, not twice, but three times that night but he gets back to doing the sweet behind-the-scene things we’ve come to expect of […]
Happy Mother’s Day!
Cheers to all you bitches out there! Have a good one! So many dramas to review, so little time for cocktails. On queue: Abyss, Put Your Head on My Shoulder, @agdr03’s Nice to Meet You. Thanks for waiting till I get back from the beach.
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 11 Highlights
Okay, Gu WeiYi, you’re forgiven for calling Jerry Yan’s character in Meteor Garden (2001) a pineapple head. lol. Because you look like a stegosaurus here. 1. Hair I get now why he went to the hair salon. He wanted a new hairstyle on the occasion of his proposal to Situ Mo. The hair was […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 10 @GrowingBeautifully’s Comments
@growingbeautifully, I’m posting your comment and my reply here. It’s easier that way. 🙂 About the sulking and acting Insane: She comes back after having hardly any hot pot with FP, but GWY is literally waiting for her at the door in the dark LOL! So scary. This harkens back to the knife sharpening horror-movie […]
The Secret Life of My Secretary: First Impressions
This is a train wreck in the making and I’m here because I’ve a morbid curiosity and — patience — to see how this story crashes and burns. The various names of this drama were my first warning. Here’s the list of its working titles, as shown on My Dramalist, before the director/writer settled on […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 10 Highlights
Before I start my highlights, I’m posting a requiem…errr paean for Jerry Yan. I never thought I see a day when he’d be dissed in a drama. Is there a Taiwanese vs Chinese battle raging through drama world, too? He’s the guy with the pineapple haircut. hahaha. Hmph!! “You’re dead.” I know Xiao Nai is […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 9
For me, the highlight of this episode is Gu WeiYi’s lies. 1. The knife Looking back now, the sight of Gu WeiYi sharpening the knife was funny. This scene was supposed to make us feel like evil was rising. The room was in shadows; WeiYi was deathly quiet. Situ Mo approached him and asked, “What […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 8
From the moment the guys laid their collection of shells at SiTu Mo’s feet, I thought that this episode would show the differences in their way of caring for SiTu Mo. 1. The shells explanation MengLu: I had a cat before; it liked to catch cockroaches. One day, after I woke up from a nap, […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Episode 7
I like the pacing of the story. Situ Mo is slowly distancing herself from Fu Pei but she isn’t rebounding with Gu Weiyi. Highlights for me: 1. Her reflections on her dying relationship with Fu Pei I like her metaphor on glass. I thought she captured succinctly Fu Pei’s inattention and her weariness. “Every glassware […]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Ep 7 Bubblegum Flavor
Of course, Si TuMo would buy the wrong box of chewing gum. I don’t know the Chinese version but the pink Durex is sold here in the US and UK as the “Performax Intense. Ribbed and Dotted With Delay Lubricant.” They’re boxes behind the tin cans. The condoms sold in the tin cans are probably […]
