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 […]
Mama Fairy and the WoodCutter: Episodes 3 and 4
I got it. I’d been scratching my head over tvN’s rationale for another husband-hunting kdrama. Did the producers just want to start another tiresome Fan Armageddon ala Reply series which will then raise viewership? How unscrupulous! But now after watching four episodes, I think I found the whole point of the show. The show is […]
Fluttering Alert: The Marriage Advice??
Okay, your opinions please. What’s your take on the father’s advice? He knew the background story of WH and YJ. Did he or didn’t he like them matched together? Did he think that WH (or YJ) wasn’t a “good person” for the other person? What did he mean?? lol. WH was baffled, too.
Fluttering Alert: Heart-Fluttering Moments, Ep 5
As promised, here are my favorite moments in Episode 5. Share yours with me. 1. Waking up to see his face After a near-death experience, the first thing she’d want was reassurance from someone near and dear to her that she was still alive. lol. So… this must be how Sleeping Beauty first saw her […]
Fluttering Alert: His “Sagwa” Gift 💝
She gave him a box of apologies with a letter, a posy of purple hyacinths and an apple. He sent her a chair. The accompanying note said, “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. I can’t explain the entire situation to you, but I’ve been deeply hurt by people who use money as power and ruin other […]
Throwback Thursday: On Defending “Goblin”
For @agdr03 — Yes, there was a time that viewers were grumbling about the bride EunTak (played by Kim Go-Eun) in Goblin. I usually keep out the forums frequented by fangirls but I delurked in this instance. Here was my post. Warning: this is what other posters would consider a “wall of text.” ************************* Once […]
Fluttering Alert: Sorting the Kiss
If Hogwarts had Sorting Kisses instead of a Sorting Hat to determine the houses, this kiss would have qualified YooJung to the Hufflepuff. It wasn’t daring enough for a Gryffindor. It wasn’t sinful enough to send her to Slytherin. It wasn’t smoldering enough for a Ravenclaw girl. It was a Hufflepuff sort of kiss. It […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 5 Spoilers
This has lots of pictures. I was able to watch the show live and take screenshots. I don’t recap because the only Korean words I know are saranghae, sagwa, and oppa. (I came after the fire scene and hospital scene.) He’s redecorating the hospital and sees YJ’s picture on the floor. He picks it up […]
