I’m dropping Lovely, Horribly for a number of reasons. What passes off as lovely isn’t enough to overcome the horribly written female lead. First, the plot has deteriorated to a tedious see-saw of misadventures that I’ve lost interest in sitting week after week to see what new disaster will befall Eul Soon and Phillip Yoo. […]
100 Days My Prince: My Couple Cellphone Cases
To commemorate the upcoming sageuk, I’m unveiling new couple cases for my cellphones. They feature a Royal Couple with ceremonial robes. While I’m blogging on the sageuk, the King cellphone case will protect my personal phone from damage against scratches and drops and the Queen cellphone case will surround my work phone with durable plastic […]
Devilish Joy: Eps 1 and 2
One of the memorable and quirky rom-coms I’ve watched is Fifty First Dates which starred Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. Sandler’s character, Henry is a man who enjoys his numerous one-night stands until he meets the girl of his dreams, Lucy, who retains only one-day worth of memories. That was how I remembered that movie: […]
100 Days (Husband) My Prince: Hyped Up
I’m so watching this rom-com sageuk. As someone who enjoys dressing up in corsets and hoop skirts for Renaissance fairs, Colonial days, and Civil War reenactments, I always look forward to indulging in a bit of time travel in my kdramas. I get excited over historicals but I avoid melodramatic and overtly political sageuks. Fair […]
My ID is Gangnam Beauty: Ep 2
“You Have to Be Pretty From the Start”. The title of the episode can often can relay that theme of the episode, and this is one of those moments. For one long hour, we the viewers are given different perspectives on beauty and what it means to be beautiful. There’s the obvious implication when the […]
My ID is Gangnam Beauty: Ep 1
Kang Mirae is no Julia Roberts. At first, I had high hopes of this kdrama showing us how the Ugly Duckling blossomed after plastic surgery and transformed into Miss Pretty Woman or Miss Congeniality. But eight episodes in, I’m now pulling my hair in frustration that the heroine is still pretty much a wuss that […]
Kdrama Recommendations, part 2
Hi there, ladies! I bought a laptop just for my drama viewing and blogging purposes, and I’m still getting the hang of it. Please bear with me. I’m trying to see if I dictate my blog. hahaha. (Nope, it’s too much work. Rats. I knew I should have bought a Mac.) To Sansukini, You wrote: […]
Lovely, Horribly: Episode 1
This is for Alekaonu at soompi who tagged me to review this. I rushed through 6 episodes yesterday, my friend. You owe me a face mask to revive my bugged-out eyes. I want the snail essence face mask. ********************************** I should rename the first episode’s title to “Slovenly, Crazily” because at this point, there’s nothing […]
The Witch’s Love: The Male Witch
First off, I’m not going to swayed by the second lead, that writer dude played by HongBin. I remember him from the Moorin School kdrama. And he is such an eye candy…if you’re 25 years old. So, nope. I’ve been done that path too many times to recognize the sadistic twists, ugly dead-ends, and writer’s […]
Kdrama Recommendations?
Okay. Let’s cut the chase because I’ve only a month for kdramas. Hopefully, I can delay my next departure. Le sigh. What kdramas can you recommend? Last night/early morning, I binged on Lover’s Witch… or was it Witch’s Love? I’ll post my comments there shortly. I also watched the trailers of Mr Sunshine (I downloaded it […]
The Bitch is Back!
Please. No groaning from the peanut gallery. I’ve only a month to catch up on kdramas before it’s back to the grindstone. Again. In full disclosure, for the past four months I spent traveling and slaving for the dysfunctional governments of the world (hahaha), I’ve only immersed in posh British mysteries (namely, Father Brown mysteries, […]
Poem a Day: Crap Today 💩
This is your Post-Episode 16 rant and vent zone, MinHo supporters. Spoilers allowed, of course.
Poem a Day: Really Fighting!
They say laughter’s the best medicine so if anybody asks me today and tomorrow how I feel about APaD, this is my answer: I’m outstanding. . . . . Also, this: hahaha. Post your rants and spoilers here for Episode 15. Let’s just have fun with these last episodes. We really have nothing to lose […]
Poem a Day: Fighting!
I’m just spreading some pixie bitchy dust before tonight’s episode. (I edited that pie chart for clarity.) And this is how I feel when people say that the endgame is Dr. Ye — Thunderstruck. Like Joon-Ki didn’t realize that “marine” has another meaning, I too misunderstood the meaning of TRUE love in this romcom. I […]
