I’ve barely begun to watch the Waikiki Eucalyptus show (sorry I can’t remember the real title) but I owe this character the most laugh wrinkles in ages. (Gee, thanks Lee Yi Kyung!) For example, this scene: credit: melissaleavesthevillage With that facial hair, how could he EVEN look anything remotely human? Much less his ID picture? […]
Poem a Day: On Crickets
This is the follow-up post to the Flash Poll on Episode 7: Poem a Day: Flash Poll Episode 7 ****************************************** lol. I didn’t know I signed up to watch “Animal Planet” when I started with “A Poem a Day.” Last Episode 6, I explained how BoYoung was like that Snail Bride in Korean folklore […]
Poem a Day: Flash Poll Episode 7
During U.S. presidential debates, people have an intense desire to gauge who won immediately right after the debate. Of course, quick polls aren’t predictive of the ultimate winner of the elections. Just look at Hillary Clinton who was the Main Lead on ALL polls ALL the way till the end of Election Day. lol. Frankly, that’s the main […]
Poem a Day: Waiting for Subs
Sigh. It’s hard to wait for subs so I’m going to post random gifs and pics here and post my thoughts on them. 1. This scene. Don’t you wonder what happened afterwards? She left her poem there and he grabbed her wrist. Why did he stop her and what did he ask her? credit: kinaotree’s […]
Poem a Day: At the Presscon
For Lespoir48, A, Fiona, and the other MinHo fans. (hey, what is this?? Is this blog turning into a MinHo Haven?? lol) I made these gifs for you. These were taken during the presscon for the kdrama. I’ll try to find the YT link again and post it here. All I know is that the […]
Poem a Day: Senior Moment
I nearly cried when I saw this scene: It hit me hard because I could commiserate with the old man’s struggles with newfangled technology. This is how I feel with my: -rice cooker (What the heck is a GABA brown rice?) -remote control (It’s faster for me to stand up and switch channels manually than […]
Poem a Day: Episode 6 and Snail Brides
Where to begin with Episode 6? First, let’s start with Dr. Ye. I liked Dr. Ye. However, it’s becoming more evident to me that his major character flaw precludes him from “winning” the girl’s heart. His Achilles heel is his rigidity – or as his colleagues call it, his “inflexibility.” He refuses to adapt and […]
The Great Seducer: On Sejoo, Part 2
While our attention was split between TH and SH, and their parents, let’s not lose sight of SeJoo. I’ve been checking tumblr and a large number of the posters pity this guy. lol. I don’t think they see beyond his pretty smile and I don’t think they understand his silent moments. So, it’s no wonder […]
The Great Seducer: TaeHee the Animal
One of our shy readers emailed me about her observation on SH. I’d like to share half of her email with you, and tell me what you think. Oli? Table? Nearsea? Tamara? If you want to add something, go ahead. This is what she wrote: Have you noticed that SH is a major weeper? Don’t […]
Poem a Day: On Dr. Ye’s Kindness
Was I or was I not right to describe Dr. Ye as INFLEXIBLE? 😉 Back in Episode 3 (before Episode 6 aired), I called both him and Minho out for being jerks. I said their difference was MinHo was a jerk only to BoYoung, while he was a jerk to his colleagues. Poem a Day: […]
Bitch Talk: Happy Friday the 13th!
Happy Friday the 13th! Avoid guys with hockey goalie masks, ladies with mink coats, and multi-layered girls with chopsticks.
Throwback Thursday: Reply 1988
Every Thursday (and on days I feel nostalgic), I’ll transfer some of my older commentaries and post them here. I intend to take down all of my posts one of these days. This one was originally posted in soompi but was asked to be taken down by the JH shippers because it was “bashing” their […]
Poem a Day: Ten Things I Hate About You
Remember this movie? There was a poem in that movie too read and composed by Kate. 10 Things I Hate About You I hate the way you talk to me And the way you cut your hair I hate the way you drive my car I hate it when you stare I hate your big […]
Poem a Day: The Great Seducer Connection
If you aren’t watching “A Poem a Day” yet, I recommend binge-watching it this weekend. It’s fun to watch and the writing is good. It’s a welcome respite from all the makjang tropes in The Great Seducer. 🙂 For “Great Seducer” viewers, this is what I’m talking about. When BoYoung’s father passed away, the mom […]
