Bitch Talk: November Dramas to Skip

@sansukini said that she doesn’t have anything slated in her watchlist for Monday-Tuesday right now except Fox Bride Star after 100 Days My Prince is over this week. There’s the Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter to take the 100 Days My Prince’s spot but I think I’m skipping this one. It’s rehashing the husband guessing game […]

100 Days My Prince: Plotholes

Feel free to list the plotholes that you’ve noticed. Here are some of the inconsistencies and loose ends that I’ve noticed. 1.  from goyangi:  JeYoon recognizing the thugs in the market place despite his prosopagnasia. 2. What happened 10 years ago? (Or is this an incorrect translation again?) From Episode 1. HongShim was about to go […]

100 Days My Prince: Pt 2, Episode 14

To continue. 8. The sword I liked how the camera shifted focus from foreground to background to remind the viewers of the pending doom. The sword obviously prefigured the bloody sword that WonDeuk would be pointing his bloody sword at HongShim. We all remember the shaman’s words but I’ll post them again. I wonder if it’s […]

100 Days My Prince: Episode 14

Only two more episodes!! I feel like I’m running a marathon here. 1. HongShim’s real reason for staying in Hanyang, part 2 It’s funny how reversals in this kdrama can happen in a span of 30 minutes. Last episode, HongShim left her fake father in a huff and now she was returning home in a […]

100 Days My Prince: The Troll’s Riddle

You’ve been trolled! 😈 I think there are two solutions here: the convoluted, preposterous answer concocted by the scriptwriter to troll the audience and the simplified version that I’m going to propose. The Troll’s Answer The first one is explained by goyangi. (Thanks, goyangi!) Her explanation follows the script. I’m going to paraphrase what she […]

100 Days My Prince: Episode 13 Long Version

I’m behind an episode but I must jot down my thoughts on this episode before continuing on. 1. Swoon-moment: the bundle of WonDeuk’s clothes Lol.  In my previous post “On Lee Yul, Episode 12” I joked about burning WonDeuk’s clothes in one big bonfire, if I had been in HongShim’s shoes, just to show him […]

Where Stars Land: Fox Bride Star Review

Episode 5. Okay, I thought I could give this show at least 6 episodes before quitting, but nope, watching the first 26 minutes of this Episode 5 is like going through Dante’s nine circles of hell only to find that there’s no end in sight. This is the absolute the worst kdrama on the current […]

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 […]
