Just as I was bugged by LeeYul’s willingness to close his eyes to visions of HongShim in Episode 12, I’m buggered that HongShim couldn’t see that WonDeuk was the child she met in the forest. LeeYul easily recognized her as that child YiSeo all grown-up after just spotting her once on the bridge, admiring a […]
100 Days My Prince: Episode 13 Quick Take
I only watched for two things in this Episode 13. I wanted to see that we had: 1) our proper closure at the beginning of the show, hahaha. It happened just as he envisioned! She disappeared from HIS sight…and he didn’t even have to close his eyes. Joking aside, I’m going to admit that I […]
100 Days My Prince: On Lee Yul, Ep 12
Part 4, last installment (I’ll have to reserve the poison post for some other time.) By now, my faithful eight followers and readers must be exhausted by all my posts. Tough, girls! Welcome to my obsessive blog! 12. Lee Yul Although this whole Episode 12 showed us Lee Yul’s adjustment to palace life, the few […]
The Third Charm: Episode 5
Now that I understand where the writer and director intend to go with this narrative (the trophy vs stuffed toy metaphor I explained earlier), it’s easier for me to focus on the good things, and to forgive the irritating things that the lead characters are doing to sabotage their relationships. We could easily catalog the […]
The Third Charm: The Metaphor
I keep on forgetting to write about this scene so I’ll post this as is. This scene from Episode 1 is a metaphor of their relationship. They were coming home from their first date at the fairgrounds. The guy JoonYoung (JY) couldn’t eat spicy food but before he could tell YoungJae (YJ), she started raving […]
100 Days My Prince: Fan Service Alert!
lol. This is a public announcement. I’m announcing it so the public will see it, okay? This is supposed to make fans swoon. Apparently, girls fantasize about men rolling up their sleeves to do some manly labor. Like working that millstone. because ooooooooohhhh. Those forearms!!! Seriously now, for me, a massive part of the fun […]
100 Days My Prince: Pt 3, Episode 12
The third installment. Sorry took longer than expected. Work + my nephew’s HS football game = no blog 8. The books I jotted down the quotes LY picked from the books because I’m that kind of person who takes note of those little strips of paper from fortune cookies. (The funniest fortune I saw was […]
100 Days My Prince: Pt 2, Episode 12
I have to do this write-up for Episode 12 in installments because I’ve work. 🙂 6. The Wall While most kdrama viewers watch the scenes for “feels,” I want us bitches go up one level and to understand what we feel. For example, this moment when HongShim crouched behind the wall to hide from WonDeuk […]
The Beauty Inside: Obligatory Shower Scenes
I’m sorry to interrupt my marathon posting on 100 Days My Prince. But I must comment on this shower scene in Episode 2 before I forget about it. There was also another shower scene in Episode 3 IIRC. This was not hot. It wasn’t even cool. Really, I wish scriptwriters would stop doing this. Not […]
100 Days My Prince: Episode 12, part 1
Here are my points to ponder for this Episode. They’re in no particular order. I’ve to split it into two because I left half my brain in limoncello tonight. Cin cin! 1. Minister Kim In my previous post on Episode 11, I mentioned HongShim’s shoes as a metaphor of materialism. I’ll copy my comment here […]
100 Days My Prince: He Says, She Says
One thing kdrama viewers have to remember about a pretend conversation with absent lover is that it works like a soliloquy. Here, WonDeuk is alone in his room, imagining himself talking to HongShim and getting his emotions off his chest. It’s how the scriptwriter lets the viewers know the inner conflicts of WonDeuk and his […]

100 Days My Prince: Episode 11
I’ve to wrap this up before I can begin watching Episode 12. I’ve already written my views on the cute moments and the baby’s daddy on separate posts so these will be for loose ends. 1. That moon-face mayor. I don’t care if he has dimples on his butt, I still think this character is a […]
100 Days My Prince: The Obligatory Update on the Baby’s Father
I get it, show. Another episode, another push for MooYeon as daddy. Even though the letter of MooYeon might have sounded romantic to some viewers (and seemed to echo the same anxiety as the Crown Princess’ hidden letter), I wanted to whack him on the head. This was his goodbye note. I was not able […]
