I’m 90% sure I’m dropping this. 1. Do you remember Ernie and Bert of Sesame Street? The lead guy here JungKook (played by Siwon) reminds me of Ernie. Always getting in trouble because of instant gratification and lack of foresight. I just don’t find a con-artist appealing as a hero because I can see his […]
Love O2O: Episode 26 Highlights
This episode is what I call the “transitional” period. Nothing new is revealed about the characters that we didn’t know. We’ve analyzed the characters to bits and I’ve tried to show that the characters, especially Nai and Weiwei, have been consistent throughout. 1. Weiwei becomes den mother. Nai’s demo presentation is rescheduled to September 1, […]
He’s Psychometric: Ignoring Death
I don’t like it whenever Jisoo dismisses death like she’s invincible. It sounds too much like a foreshadowing, as if the story is setting us up for a grim turn of events. We’ve already seen three conspicuous scenes in the drama when she ignored the death signs. I’ll list them so we’re all on the […]
He’s Psychometric: Sungmo’s Room
Because we’re obsessive bitches here…. Take “serious” with a grain of NaCl, ok? Lee Ahn says he couldn’t read anything in his Hyung’s room but I think the director left enough clues for us viewers to analyze. 1. The bird cage It doesn’t take a genius to know what the bird cage stands for. But […]
Love O2O: Ep 25 Highlights
Writing the highlights for a 30-episode romcom was a pretty tall order for a dilettante like me. But now, with only five more episodes to go, I think I can make it, thanks to everybody’s input, especially @agdr03. Episode 25 has fewer scenes than usual of Weiwei and Nai together. Even so, their couple moments […]
He’s Psychometric: Got Milk?
I haven’t decided which one I’m going to use as a banner for this show. This? Or this? The “got milk?” was a successful slogan used by the US milk producers and dairy farmers associations to promote milk consumption since the 1990s. (edit: Apparently, the ads were discontinued in 2014.) The famous tagline was created […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 8 Tom and Jerry
Here’s why I think Lee Ahn is boyfriend material. My parameters: Episode 8 moments only. Part two will come tonight or tomorrow. 1. He steps on the brakes and waits for the green light. He wasn’t lying when he said, “I’ve cared for no one else since the start. Why I said I’d wait for […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 8 On Bridges
It’s a quirk of this blog that I break down dialogues. Yo solo hablo Ingles and the easiest way for me to understand what’s said in Korean (or Chinese, now that I’ve started to watch Chinese drama) is to go line by line in order to read between the lines. 😂 Often, I glean a […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 8 Sungmo’s Dad
Q: Is the stalker/killer Sungmo’s dad? A: We don’t know. That’s still a mystery. However, Episode 8 sets up a nice contrast between Sungmo and the rest of the main characters. In yet another flashback on Dec 3rd, Time: 4 pm, a precocious Lee Ahn bragged to Jaein’s dad that his father had caught many […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 7 Instant Reaction
1. Another episode, another flashback We’re back to that fateful day, December 3, 2005. Time: 18:00 pm. We learn that Jaein’s dad, Yoon TaeHa, knows young Sungmo. He attends to Sungmo’s bloodied ankle and suspects that the teen’s being abused. He wants to report it to the police. Notice young Sungmo’s look of surprise when Yoon […]
Love O2O: Ep 24 Highlights
Sniff. Here we go. We only have 6 more episodes left after this. ********************** 1. Going home to sulky Erxi At work, Weiwei turns in her suggestions on how to improve the family life portion of Nai’s game. She tells him to take his time reading them as she’s going to leave work early. Nai […]
Bitch Talk: List of Top Idol-Actors
Because it’s April Fools’ Day, I’m opening up my Top 4 list to other Idol-Actors. These are my original Fab Four: 1. Siwan of ZE:A I like him because he’s a thinking actor. Some actors over-emote while some actors don’t emote at all. Siwan, however, is like the Baby Bear in Goldilocks and the Three Bears. […]
He’s Psychometric: Ep 5 The Vision
I’m posting Lee Ahn’s vision when he got stabbed separately so you can comment on the images as you please. Let the good theories roll. 1. Stalker’s been watching Hyung. He knows that Kang Sungmo and Lee Ahn moved to a more “secured” place. Whoa! Can you imagine when they were living in that rooftop […]
He’s Psychometric: Questions and Answers
1. On the red candy @nrllee says: Yeah I am not sure about the candy… The red I got when LA was stabbed and the candy rolled down into the shoe that LA gave her? But the others I am not sure. It’s featured so often it has to mean something… All I know is […]
