Group hug! I think what makes watching this kdrama fun is that we ALL try to observe things differently and bring in well-thought-out perspectives. It’s really tiresome to read comments that are big on emotions, either upset or angry with the characters and the latest plot development, BUT scanty in observation and scrutiny. If you […]
Fluttering Alert: Blaming Fathers, Ep 11
As I said, I’m going over dialogues that I found interesting in this episode because there weren’t many heart-fluttering moments. The discussion between WooHyun and his father is another encounter that forces me to reevaluate their relationship. For one, I find his father’s insistence that WooHyun run the medical foundation very puzzling. For another, WooHyun’s […]
Fluttering Alert: Conversing with YJ’s Dad, Ep 11
Because there weren’t many heart-fluttering moments in this week’s episodes, I’ll go over some dialogues which I found interesting. Like this one: Dad: But are you not seeing that young lady at all? WY: Yes. Dad: Have you completely broken up? WY: (doesn’t answer) What do you think of her, Father? Dad: Well…(stuttering)… I like […]
Fluttering Alert: Waiting for Subs
While waiting for the subs, I trawled youtube for some amusing videos. WH took a punch on the chin today from BFF. So let’s watch Chun Jung Myung take down older guys. And this clip is one I keep when I want to look at my donsaeng, Lee Seo Jin. He’s the immigration officer. […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 12 🤨MADcap😒
This is the going to be the shortest recap madcap ever. One word. Melodrama. Seriously, let’s wait for the subs. Maybe we can salvage something from this week’s episodes after we watch the subs. See you later. You can post your rants and raves for this episode here.
Memories of the Alhambra: First Impressions 👍
On the recommendation of @growing_beautifully and @agdr03, I went ahead and watched Episodes 1 and 2 of Memories of the Alhambra. I’ll see if I can fit it in my December/January schedule. 1. To be honest, I was drawn to the story because of the stairs. To me, the spiral staircase is a brilliant symbol of […]
Fluttering Alert: Ep 11 Madcap
Crickets. I might as well have watched the mating habits of crickets. 😀 Nothing much happens in this episode. WooHyun finalizes his lawsuit and issues another plea/ultimate/whatever to his Dad to stop interfering. Dad seems strangely subdued and conciliatory. Hmmm… is he calling off his dogs, err Wannabe Wife? YooJung and BFF decide to […]
Fluttering Alert: @tsutsuloo’s Comment on Aging
I’m going to post @tsutsuloo’s comment here so I can find it later. *********************** packmule3’s Ep. 6 clapback to the haters was the catharsis I needed after scanning the harsh commentary at the show’s launch. But I’m still disheartened by observers criticizing Yoon Eun Hye for aging. That’s right. She aged. [insert favorite curse word here]. The culture’s […]
Memories of the Alhambra: Who’s Watching This?
Is anybody here watching this? Is this good? Should I review this? Updated: I think I’ll give it a whirl. There’s something about the stairs…
Fluttering Heart: @agdr’s Comments on Ep 9
Here’s @agdr03’s comment on Episode 9’s heart-fluttering moment. It will be in blue italics. My response is in black. 1 – It’s a big deal to say that he has a woman that he loves. Confirming what he said to his Mom that he wants to be happy for the first time. I’ll have to […]
Fluttering Alert: Team WH or Team YJ?
There’s a poster @Sulistya_Wati who wrote a thought-provoking reaction to another poster’s comment in soompi. I’ll write my response here because I don’t have time to switch back and forth. If a lurker here wants to, she can post this post’s link over there. Thanks!! I’ll probably edit again later if I think of anything […]
Fluttering Alert: Heart-Fluttering Moments, Ep 9
Because we already know that there are dark episodes ahead, it’s become more imperative to focus on these heart-fluttering moments and savor them while we can. Even as I list them down now, I see that a number of heart-fluttering moments already have a hint of sadness in them. For instance, when WH and YJ […]
Fluttering Alert: On Looking Beautiful
Remember this from Episode 6? YH: The number of women you’ve dates so far is more than five or not? WH: (glancing at her then drinks the champagne) YH: Ah, you could just answer that! If you drink that, your wound won’t heal right! (ticked off) Gosh, really. I should have guessed it would be […]
Fluttering Alert: On Chung Jung Myung’s Surfing Disaster 😂
I often avoid researching an actor’s private life because his personal information may color my perception of the character he’s portraying. This clip of Chung Jung Myung tickled my funny bone that I’m going to see him differently from now on. Thanks, @soapbeans, for sharing. If this video is restricted in your region, here’s the […]
