What frustrates me about this kdrama is NOT that the game logic is missing but that it unfolds piecemeal. So far, the game appears logical to me but I’ve come to expect the TWIST in the plot. The rules are very much different from what JinWoo, Sec Seo and their programmer YangJoo would ordinarily expect […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Did Sejoo Kill Marco?
What better way to start a new year than to discuss murder? There are two way to interpret the death of Marco: according to the script according to the JinWoo’s delusional interpretation As I said in last post, based on the script, SJ isn’t dead but trapped in the game somehow. In Episode 1, he […]
Happy New Year!

Those weird scribbles on the cake were meant to be an elegant calligraphy of the initial “B” for bitches but they came out looking like a psychedelic B instead. Sorry! And confession […]
Reply 1998: Why Taec?
Three years ago, on Dec 29, 2015, I wrote this post on soompi kdrama thread. There were two factions in the thread: the majority of the shippers were rooting for JH and Deuksun and only a minority were shipping for Taec and DS. As usual, the mods at soompi (whom I shall not SHAME here […]

Top Star Yoo Baek: On Frames
I don’t envy the kdrama subber or recapper for doing a thankless job with little compensation. So my intention here is not to bash the subber for the Top Star Yoo Baek kdrama. There are mistakes in grammar but I don’t care because my brains can still unscramble the gist of the conversation. However, there’s […]
Fluttering Alert: Future In-Laws
On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me… Three parents-in-law, Two texting couple And a fluttering love story. lol. I’m going to challenge myself and see if I can complete this Christmas song with inspiration from Fluttering Alert. ************************ I’m not counting YooJung’s father as an “in-law” because WooHyun knew him […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 16’s Love Texting
On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me… Two texting couple and a fluttering love story. YJ: How is it that he hasn’t texted or called even once all day? (Unnie walks in) Unnie, it’s even hard to hear WooHyun’s voice once a day. Unnie: You’re like that too when you’re […]
Merry Christmas!!
Traditionally, we begin the Christmas season at the stroke of midnight. My family attend midnight mass together and by the time the rite ends an hour and a half later, it’s properly December 25. It’s the first day of Christmas or Christmastide. Today is December 26, the second day of Christmas. Do you remember that […]
Fluttering Alert: Heart-Fluttering Moments Ep 15
I’m doing this in reverse, starting with the end scene, and working my way to the beginning of the episode. I must have watched the beginning a thousand times already but I couldn’t get past the halfway point without interruptions. Although this episode lacked dramatic actions, it had plenty of “meaningful” conversations. It took me […]
Fluttering Alert: Decorating the Christmas Tree
Since it’s almost Christmas, I did WooHyun and YooJung’s scene with the Christmas tree. I’ll work on Eps 15 and 16 Heart-Fluttering Moments when I can get away from the marauding invaders who share my DNA and are now looting my fridge. Thank goodness for Costco!! Jack Sparrow = me; Cannibals = my sons, my […]
