How does this rate in my Makjang Quality Scale? A kdrama is makjang-ish when it demonstrates a minimum of 5 of these qualities: Birth secrets Incestuous relationship, whether implied or real Fatal disease or looming disease Amnesia Physical abuse involving face slaps, hair-pulling and FORCED KISS Rape Make-up Sex or Kiss (Fighting one minute then […]
Poem a Day: Oli’s Perspective
This is the post from Oli. I’ll put my response here. I hope I didn’t seem like not myself before 🙂 Thanks for the warning though! I’m just a bit afraid of what the writers can do to MinHo’s character to fit Dr Ye + BoYoung as end game if that’s the path they’re going. […]
Poem a Day: A Season of Good Rain
Previously I said that the poetry book BoYoung searched for and MinHo found for her, A Season of Good Rain, was made into a movie in 2009 with the same title. I finished watching the movie just to see how it’s related to MinHo’s story. If you don’t mind spoilers, then go ahead and read this. Good Rain: […]
Poem a Day: Second Chances, pt 2
I’ll give you a clue why I think it’s NOT the end yet and why I said that there was a SECOND reason for the writer’s intervention and MinHo’s motorcycle accident. I said the second reason was to stall the endgame. And the endgame is NOT Ye and BoYoung. 😂😈🤣 If you’re a YeLiner, leave […]
Poem a Day: On Second Chances
There are three options for MinHo Shippers. Stop cold turkey. And I won’t blame you if you decide to do this. Join the YeLine. 🤣 I’m sure the YeLiners want me on board THEIR ship so I can analyze their beloved Ye like I did with MinHo. Those peasants have this brain & bitch envy. […]
Poem a Day: Flash Poll Episode 12
MinHo met an untimely accident. lol. It’s as if the writer and director know that the only way to stop MinHo’s slow but steady march to win BoYoung’s heart was to run him over with a motorcycle. Nice try…. And because we all know that this was a cop out and because MinHo was inactive […]
Poem a Day: Episode 12 Spoilers
lol. Died in Rome Jan 7, 1895. It’s a good thing I look good gorgeous in black. To look on the bright side: Now MinHo has time to go back to his family’s hospital and learn to manage it properly. He can enter the military and be gone for 2 years. He can take up poetry […]
Poem a Day: Flash Poll Episode 11
MinHo again moves half a centimeter. Look: ONE thing MinHo shippers have to ASK themselves at the end of every episode is this: WHAT has the other guy done to “earn” her love? In this episode, Dr Ye couldn’t even open himself up to her. That’s the simplest thing, really, when beginning a relationship. Sharing […]
Poem a Day: MinHo Arrived First
The story of MinHo’s life in four words: Foiled by a motorcycle. Lol. I was going to individually respond but this is easier. MinHo got there first. Why? Because he was the one who asked Boyoung where she was. 😂 He called her up and TALKED to her, <font color = “blue”> “Cry Baby Wooyoung, […]
Poem a Day: Let’s Make a Bet!
You, ladies, have been talking about this preview ALL AFTERNOON and I’m game. I haven’t watched the show so I’m doing this blind. I just want to have a little bit of fun with you ladies since I know you’re all nervous and worried about the MinHo’s chances with BoYoung. I say she’s dating MinHo. […]
The Great Seducer: Episodes 29 and 30
If I were their guardian angel, I’d ask for a job transfer. “What did Sooji and SeJoo do again now?” For one, his friend is getting beaten up, and that asshole Sejoo doesn’t budge? Hello? Call 911? Apartment security? There’s a home invader? Hmmm… Does he secretly have a death wish, as in, he wants […]
Poem a Day: Episode 11 Feedback
Okay, ladies, put your comments on Episode 11 here. We’ll get things sorted out later. Nearsea, Paperclip, lovebangwon – I’ll transfer your comments over here. That other post on BoYoung’s Costume has lots of pics and it might slow down your internet when you upload it. 🙂 ************************************** Edited… Are you kidding me? Nice […]
The Great Seducer: Final Week
It’s the final week of The Great Seducer. My message to the scriptwriter and director: lol. Things I like from Episodes 25 to 28. 1. The wedding pictorial. lol. Why isn’t she smiling her normal smile? 2. His goodbye. “Lately when I wake up in the morning, the first thing that’s on my mind is […]
Poem a Day: On BoYoung’s Clothes
Since I already brought up the word “Another” printed on BoYoung’s sweatshirt, I might as well give you what I think about her clothes. Typically, I don’t pay attention to costumes in a kdrama. The work of costume designers is often overlooked because when they do their job well, their end product, that is, the […]
