My Demon: Ep 11 A Paradise of the Ominous
Episode title: A Paradise of the Ominous As I’ve always said, I like titles because they tell me where to focus my attention when I’m writing these commentaries. This episode marks a transition. For me, “a paradise of the ominous” is synonymous with a “calm before the storm.” 1. For GuWon, paradise means the restoration […]
A Good Day to Be a Dog: Eps 13 & 14 Final Open Thread
The thread is open. The last episode, Ep 14, is showing on Wednesday. Finally, we can binge-watch it. Do we know already why Lee BoGyeong cursed Haena’s ancestors? Do we still care? Let’s enjoy the show.
Marry My Husband: Ep 3 Quick Takes
Episode 3 is the type of show I would have loved to watch with @agdr03. With our lowbrow humor, we would have laughed our socks off at many scenes. Like, this one. Though we didn’t see MinHan’s male anatomy, there was no way it could have been intimidating in size. If I were the heroine […]
Marry My Husband: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
There’s a whole genre of kdrama that I’m unfamiliar with…by choice. It’s the kdrama with revenge, retribution, and reparation (or the 3 R’s). Examples of this genre include “Vicenzo” (2021), “Remarriage and Desires” (2022) and “Perfect Marriage Revenge” (2023). I’ve avoided these 3 R’s kdramas because, as much as the comeuppance of the villains is […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 14 On Sense and Sensibility
Episode Title: “Those who love more are the strongest.” I’ll circle back to my explanation of the title after I explain my theme for this episode. On sense and sensibility. One of the Jane Austen novels I like is “Sense and Sensibility.” It’s about two sisters: Elinor who exemplifies sense (restraint and good judgment) and […]
The Matchmakers: On the Finale
@BethB, You commented on the “Happy New Year” thread: • The Matchmakers (Viki) – I really liked it, just didn’t love it. I agree with you. I like “The Matchmakers” for these reasons: a) the heroine. She was refreshingly resourceful and reasonable, unlike the heroine in the female lead “Park’s Marriage Contract.” From start to […]

Death’s Game: Eps 5 to 8 Open Thread
The thread is open, @GB. Here are some gifs of Lee JaeWook. You all know I like this actor — not personally, because I don’t know anything about him — but artistically so I’ll post gifs of him. Lol. source: moonlightsdream’s tumblr What episode was he on? I’ll watch that. 🙂 Enjoy the show!
My Demon: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
The thread is open. Boooooo. So, Noh SukMin is the devil and not Oppa Ju SeokHoon? I concede that SukMin is the ultimate killing machine, having offed his mother, his partner in crime aka the Psoriasis Guy, and his son (indirectly). But Ju SeokHoon is still not off my Villain List. Let’s enjoy the show.

Marry My Husband: Open Thread
The thread is open, @Cleopatra. source: ingguk’s tumblr I know Park Min Young’s weight has been an ongoing issue with the k-netizens so I’m going to limit myself to just one comment. When she appeared as a cancer patient in the first few minutes of the show, I had no trouble believing it given how […]
Like Flowers in the Sand: Open Thread
The thread is open. This will be my sports drama of the season. I liked the wholesomeness of the other sports drama I’ve seen, “Racket Boys” (2021), and I’m hoping this one will follow suit. I don’t know much about ssireum, or the Korean traditional wrestling, so this show should be educational for me. Episode […]
What Are We Watching in January 2024?
It should not be a secret that I’ve long admired — and envied — those with a literature background. Being unromantic, I’m not naturally wired to see harmony and synthesis in the world so I struggle to evoke them with words. Here’s a poem “The Year” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox which encapsulates how I feel […]
