The Matchmakers: Ep 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is open. Here you go, @BethB. Two things: This is the first drama by Rowoon that I completed after “ExtraOrdinary You” (2019). That’s saying something. And I like the female lead. She wasn’t stupid, codependent, impulsive (like the silly female lead in “The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract), abrasive (like the female lead […]
Merry Christmas!
Have a blessed Christmas, everyone! The Birth of Jesus. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee […]

The thread is open. Although I’m disappointed with this drama, let’s just say that “Hope springs eternal in every human breast.” Even mine, apparently. Enjoy the show.

My Demon: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. I’ll have to catch up. You know, after working in Washington DC, I find the backstabbing (whoops. it was a heart-stabbing, right?) in this drama rather unimaginative, and the villains a bit gormless. But I guess, we’re supposed to see the DoHee and GuWon’s sufferings scale up in these next few […]
The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract: Ep 6 My Notes, My Rant
In all honesty, I don’t think this drama requires my notes because: a) it isn’t at all mentally demanding to understand, b) it’s obvious when the screenwriter is MANUFACTURING the next big scene with plot contrivances, and c) the female lead is annoying as heck. I get that the cartoonist wants to show the female […]

The Matchmakers: Eps 11 to 14 Open Thread
The thread is open. Yes. Yes. I’m not dropping this kdrama. I know I stopped writing my notes at Ep 8 but I didn’t drop this drama. How can I drop it when gifs like these can make me go “Awwww. How cute.” source: liveasbutterflies’ tumblr Let’s enjoy the show.
Moon in the Day: Ep 14 Quick Takes
Happily-ever-after? No. Closure: Yes. Satisfactory closure? Yes. To me, if you have to end it in death, this is the way to end it so the one you leave behind — your survivor — can go on living. Will I rewatch it? Yes. Probably this weekend. So I can jot down his last words to […]
Nine: 9 Time Travels: Ep 1 Rewatch Sat, Dec 16
The thread is open. According to GB, this 2013 kdrama may be viewed on these sites: It looked like Disney+, Apple TV, Tubi (may need VPN), Amazon Prime (also regionally restricted), Reelgood with Roku Channel… may have it. I have limited access myself but I go to Dramanice. I cannot get into all those sites […]
