No Gain, No Love: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. Sorry for the delay. Somebody had a menty b at work so I had to step in. (Menty b = a minor mental breakdown, according to the Gen-Z lexicon) Here’s some gifs of Byeon Woo Seok as compensation. 🙂 source: liveasbutterflies’ tumblr Enjoy the show!
Love Next Door: Ep 5 The Onggi, part 2
I’m too lazy to edit the original thread here: Love Next Door: Ep 5 On the Onggi so I’ll just make a new one. I’ll try to get this quickly because tomorrow we’ll have the new installment. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 I previously noted that some settings in this kdrama seemed to have been chosen to reinforce a key point, […]
Are You the One: Ep 15 The Key Points
One good thing that came out of my Covid is that I had time to catch up on this cdrama. I’ll write my commentaries on the episodes I liked, and they won’t be in sequence. I like this cdrama better than “The Princess Royal.” I lost my patience with the female lead in TPR. I […]
Love Next Door: Ep 5 On the Onggi
Episode 5 Title: Go Back ➡️Go Back to You Though it isn’t difficult to see the theme sprinkled throughout the episode, it’s still good to cite a few examples. 1. SeongHyo (SH) visits SeokRyu (SR) in the US and sleeps overnight in her dorm room after getting drunk. When he wakes up in the morning, […]

No Gain, No Love: Eps 3 & 4 Open Thread
The thread is open. A helpful tip from @Welmaris. Thanks, @Welmaris! For those who are watching on Amazon Prime, I figured out how to air the show with dialogue in Korean and English subtitles. Pause play, and a line appears. Above the line to the left are three icons. Click on the right-hand icon, which […]
What Are We Watching in September 2024?
Like summer’s end yields a bounty of cucumbers and tomatoes, this August gave us dramas galore. As I write this, I’m gorging on two 40-episode cdramas “The Princess Royal” and “Are You the One” while waiting for the new episode of “Love Next Door” to pop up on Netflix. I should be thankful that new […]
Love Next Door: Eps 3 & 4 My Notes
Seems like the screenwriter decided that this is the right time for exposition, so viewers were suddenly inundated with background info on SeokRyu (SR). I’ll try to keep track. 1. The pomegranate tree In Episode 3, SeongHyo (SH) is worrying about the tree. No longer bare, it has now spouted leaves. He tells his co-president […]

The Princess Royal: Ep 5 The Highlights
I’ll keep this short. 1. In exchange for Li Rong’s hand in marriage, the Emperor demands that Pei WenXuan (PWX) kill Yang Quan. His exact words – Emperor: Pei Wenxuan, if I make you my sword to kill Yang Quan as your betrothal gift to marry Pingyue, would you dare to do it? Though we […]
No Gain, No Love: Ep 2 The Risqué Humor
If you’re under 18 years old, please exit this thread. I won’t be responsible for the corruption of your minds. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 In another thread, I recommended this kdrama to @Grace with a caveat that the humor might not be appropriate for children. You see, @Grace often watches with her whole family. I said, however, that […]
The Princess Royal: Ep 4 The Highlights
The sweet moments aren’t hard to find. 1. Pei Wenxuan grills fish for her before grilling his own. This reminded me of that Pinterest illustration of a grumpy old man holding an umbrella over his wife during a fight. I like that despite being her victim in the Other Lifetime, he still takes care of […]
