OTL not OST. I like this song but… (sigh) I have to get it out of my head. Take note, beetches. Somebody/something can be ahead of you in front of you But it can’t be behind OF you. It’s always behind you. Behind you!
Jugglers: Episode 10
Episode 10 Title: You know it’s a secret. With only 6 episodes left, and 3 more weeks to go, we’ve reached the pinnacle of the romcom: the couplehood! This is the stage where our couple allow themselves to be more natural in front of their other half and delight in every little thing she/he does. […]
Bitch SOS: Who’s the Monkey King?
A bitch in need is a bitch indeed. I need your help. (No, I’m not soliciting for money, lol). I don’t know zilch about the legends of the Monkey King and I’m requesting some intel, the 411, and/or background info on his character. I’ve never heard of the Monkey King before so he’s a totally […]
Bitch Talk: On Double-Bagging (Not Groceries)
Public Service Announcement. While discussing Because This is My First Life, Episode 7 with Oppa’s Goddess, I remembered that there was a misinformation in one scene that needed to be corrected ASAP. I’ll do it here as a public service — One of the girls, Horang, ordered her boyfriend to wear two condoms as a […]
Just Bitching: Couple Holidays
Chicken or the egg? I sometimes wonder what the correlation is between these Couple Holidays and kdramas’ obsession for “events” and over-the-top love declaration. Did Couple Holidays inspire kdramas to stage elaborate proposal scenes or did kdramas prompt couples to outdo themselves in celebrating their love? Whatever it is, I’m glad that I’m married and too […]
Jugglers: Episode 9
Episode 9 Title: They pretended they did not. If you haven’t started watching Jugglers, you’re missing out on a sweet treat. (Staygold and USAFarmgirl, where are you??!! I’ve been leaving you a trail of crumbs to follow me here. — edited: You’re both here!! ) This is one of the gentle romances that I gravitate […]
Hwayugi (Korean Odyssey): A Period Piece on Blood
The Hong sisters didn’t overlook the blood in menstruation. I know that some people found it baffling how SunMi could have survived all these years from demons attracted to her lotus-flower smelling blood when she had monthly periods. Well, at the top of my head, I can think of two plausible answers. The first answer […]
Just Bitching: The Obligatory Post on Shower Scenes
Fake Shower Scenes. I recently observed that all legit kdrama blogs post about shower scenes with gazillions of pics included “as evidence.” Since this is my smarty-pants blog, I’m not going to drool over pics but will bitch (no surprise here, right?) about shower scenes. You see, the shower scene is a written law for all […]
Bitch Talk: How do you pick your next drama?
Serial Kdrama Speed-Dating. This post by Oppa’s Goddness (one of the ex-soompier Julies) is too good to be kept hidden in the comment section. She said: I don’t think I’m an avid kdrama fans. I don’t watch most of kdramas that exist, but I kinda keep update with the news.. I usually do -I call […]
Because This is My First Life (BTIMFL): Episode 7
Episode 7 Title: Because This is My First YOLO Hey, Oppa’s Goddess, if we’re going to discuss BTIMFL, let’s do it out here in the open because that original post is going to get buried after a while. I’m not a techie, so it will take me time (more than three days, lol) to discover […]
Because This is My First Life (BTIMFL): Episode 11
Episode 11 Title: Because This is My First Beach First things first: we need a bus route to give us an idea where this Namhae Beach was. If you want a recap, I highly recommend going to the dramabeans site. As I said elsewhere, I love how attentive the recappers are when describing the scenes. […]

Just Bitching: Kdramas’ New Year’s Resolutions
Resolutions, part 1. I’m ordering this partial list (more to follow) New Year’s Eve resolutions for the improvement of kdramas and the enhancement of viewing pleasure of bitches like me. These resolutions requires neither the approval of netizens and i-netizens nor the signatures of conglomerates such soompi and dramabeans, and they do not have the […]
Bitchcraft: The Sacred and the Profane
On the use of profanity. I allow profanity here. I’m not going to install cutesy filler words to replace cusswords. I’m going to assume that you, as classy-act and smart bitches, have made an informed decision why there’s merit to your use of swear words. Frankly, I’d rather read a post that goes something like, […]
