Here’s my list of things I learned about love in this episode. 😂 What’s on your list? 1. Prosopagnosia, or the inability to recognize familiar faces. Prosopagnosia exists in kdramas because love is blind. I dislike that I had to learn how to spell this long word because of kdramas so I’ve broken down the word to […]
The Third Charm: Episode 3
Oh lawds! If I were young again, I’d want to be reborn with Young-Jae’s bravado. Encountering an old flame and knowing what to say to him have always been my weakness. Good old Catholic guilt would rear its ugly head, and I’d lose my tongue in embarrassment and offer limp fingers in a handshake. That’s […]
My ID is Gangnam Beauty: Ep 3
Thanks, @Table2000 for recommending this kdrama. I’m pressured now to finish this because you and my good friend @phikyl recommended it to me. **************** I expected this kdrama to be nothing more than a fluffy teen romance with a little bit of social commentary on plastic surgery grafted on the plot. But it’s turning out […]
100 Days My Prince: More Dubious Characters
Huh? Did I miss the memo? How come I didn’t know that this foolish guy was Minister Kim’s son? Are there any more undisclosed familial relationships among the characters? Also, there’s something about this guy JeYoon that I find dubious. @dcuu, you said that there a poll conducted by the official tvN account asking who the […]
100 Days My Prince: Who’s the Baby’s Daddy?
People think MooYeon was the father based primarily on two things: 1. the flashback in Episode 7 where 16 years ago, he held the future Crown Princess, the young SoHee hostage and threatened to slash her throat if Minister Kim didn’t call of the search for him. Minister Kim pointed out that he was his […]
The Third Charm: Episode 2
There’s nothing much to comment about on Episode 2. It was a straight-forward episode. I thought it was funny when he came home all sad and mopey, and saw cases of his beer, his prize for winning the beer-drinking contest, awaiting him in the living room. Talk about fate kicking a man when he’s already […]
100 Days My Prince: Ep 8’s Swoon-Worthy Moment
This scene is swoon-worthier than the shoe scene. Don’t get me wrong. It was sweet of him to give her a pair of plum blossom shoes. He even staged an “event” which is a hallmark of all kdramas. Frankly speaking, there’s something about “events” that I find theatrical and overblown. However, I’ve come to accept […]
The Ghost Detective: The Infinite Monkey Theorem
Nice job, show! Even an infinite number of monkeys typing words at random for an infinite amount of time wouldn’t have been able to come up with this latest crap. No, I’m going to walk away from this week’s episodes. I’ve read enough comments to know that I’ll find the plot twist tiresome. It’s tiresome because […]
Bitch Talk: My List of Upcoming Kdrama Reviews
Here are the dramas I’ll be watching and bitching about, HongShim…errr… HongMoon. lol. Why did you pick that name?? I was listing them down last night because I needed to organize my schedule and reassess my priorities. Monday and Tuesday: -100 Day My Prince. Nope. Am not dropping this because of the actor despite the […]
100 Days My Prince: The Barley Field
There were so many interesting things to observe about that moment in the barley field that I’m going to devote this long post on that short scene. Hahaha. Sit back and watch me obsess over trivial things… First, live by the sword arrow, die by the sword arrow. Every time I saw Mooyoung assassinate someone […]
100 Days My Prince: On Becoming WonDeuk
Gradually and quietly, the Crown Prince Lee Yul had become WonDeuk. In the barley field, HongShim wanted to confess that he wasn’t WonDeuk after all. But he preempted her confession, saying that he already knew what she was going to say. WD: I already know what you want to confess. I know that you were […]
Where Stars Land: Abort Episode 2
Abort! Abort! The lead female YeoRim is the most aggravating heroine I’ve seen in a long while. lol. Now, I know why Suzy Bae declined this role. Good job, Suzy! Here’s my long laundry list of the character’s fault: She’s self-absorbed. She doesn’t follow protocol because she thinks she knows better. She’s a complainer. On […]
Devilish Joy: Episode 8
(Updated) My review is coming. I see that some of you have been pulling up my old posts, especially my impressions on Episode 1 and 2, so I’m assuming that there’s interest on what I have to say about this show. (hahaha) Will edit this for my review. Let me attend my morning meetings, and […]
Because This is My First Life: Cameo of an Epilogue
I remember feeling dissatisfied with the finale of “Because This is My First Life” because I would have loved to be shown a glimpse of JiHo and SeeHee’s married life. And I thought HoRang and WonSeok (him especially) needed a longer time-out. So I was surprised when I saw these gifs from paper-box’s tumblr a […]
