The writer and director must have deliberated on whether or not to continue with the kiss cliffhanger in Episode 6. Many of us understandably felt cheated that they opted not to begin Episode 7 with WooHyun and YooJung in a lip-lock. But now, I think they made the right call. This 6-second opening scene is […]
Fluttering Heart: Open Thread
Waiting for family to go to church. They’re slowpokes on this cold morning. 🙂 I’m creating this so you @oli, @agdr08, @tsutsuloo, @anna_tan @fany and others (What do we call ourselves? Heartwarmers? Flutterers?) can post your thoughts while I’m gone. Feel free to post spoilers. We all think alike. Our couple can survive anything as […]
Fluttering Alert: When the Shoe’s on the Other Foot…
Last episode, she made him feel jealous. Now the situation is reversed, and she was the one being attacked by the green-eyed monster. WH: Your skin is in good condition. You didn’t even make an appointment so why’d you come? YJ: I came to monitor you since there are too many competitors around. WH: What? […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m not this old yet and I’m hoping that my turkey won’t explode on me and my guests tomorrow but… From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!! I won’t be around tomorrow for the spoilers but you’ll all be in my thoughts while I prepare the food. Our dinner plates won’t have markings on them […]
Fluttering Alert: Episode 7 Spoilers
Warning: This is not a recap. I don’t do recaps because I’m not Korean and I don’t speak Korean. Kindly view my interpretative recounting of this episode in the same way you regard this exuberant dancing. *********** The morning after the kiss. (We got trolled! No pics but let’s just assume that they did kiss.) […]
Fluttering Alert: Random Things
These are my random notes to tide us over till tomorrow/tonight’s episode. 1. @tsutsuloo mentioned this fluttery moment in Episode 6. He looked around and saw how empty his apartment was without her. I said that typically in kdramas the guy’s home is usually cold and sterile and the gal’s home is warm and cozy. […]
The Third Charm: My Take on the Finale
Shoutout to Oli. Disclosure: I didn’t want to add 10 more hours of drama to my stressful life so I read the recaps and reviews from dramabeans, dramamilk and mydramalist. Although this kdrama is definitely not my cup of tea, it’s the kind of story that my bookclub ladies would love to force on me to […]
Fluttering Alert: Heart-Fluttering Moments, Ep 6
I want to thank all the naysayers, Debbie Downers, and make-up artists out there for panning this romcom. If it weren’t for their scintillating and insightful assessment of this show, I wouldn’t have watched it. Like them, I have a discriminating taste and I will never ever watch a kdrama featuring a rich guy and […]
Fluttering Alert: On YJ’s Many-Splendored Thing
This is a comment by @Anna Tan. I’m posting it here so people can comment on YH’s many different qualities. I agree that YJ has many facets to her and it’s interesting to watch how the actress Yoon EunHye portrays her. I often sense that the writer uses YEH as “source material” or inspiration for […]
Fluttering Alert: The Morning After
Normally, I would find it brazen for a girl to invite herself to a man’s home after sharing one kiss. Wait until the third kiss, my dear. lol. But I didn’t mind at all when YooJung pretended as if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to spend time at WooHyun’s apartment. Before her Unnie could figure out […]
Fluttering Alert: Age Matters
YJ’s mother died 23 years ago. YJ was 8 at that time. She’s 31 years old now. We all assume that WH was at that same fire or is connected to that fire that killed YJ’s mom. He was 10 at that time. He’s 33 years old now. His mother was 21 when she had […]
Fluttering Alert: Truth or Consequence
For @h0ns. Since when did I start accepting friends’ requests? hahaha. ************************** WooHyun bows before YooJung’s mother tree. YH: Mom, I’m here. You must love this, Mom. (telling WH) You’re the first person to greet her. (They grin at each other). Sit down. She notices the words on the chair he sent her, and she […]
Fluttering Alert: Tsutsuloo’s List of Fluttery Moments for Ep 5
I’m posting her comment here so others can respond to her. Thanks, tsutsuloo! Awesome post! ***************************************** Before I describe my favorite scenes (everything that was not the cartoonishly evil porcelain robot), I want to express appreciation for @packmule3’s thoughtful analysis of Woo-Hyun’s anxiety about Yoo-Jung leaving him behind. It leads me to wonder about his […]
Fluttering Alert: On Being Petty Cute
Per @fary’s request. ******************************* It started with the fist bump. GS (Guy Smiley the bro): I’m a regular at this restaurant, and my sister likes it too and every one likes it, so I brought some. YJ: Awww. I’m maintaining my figure right now so I can’t eat. What do I do? Ugh… Right! This […]
