The thread is open. I like that he has a valid excuse to grab her wrist. He needs to access his demonic power which is sealed like a tattoo on her wrist. source: ingukk’s tumblr I also like this umbrella scene. source: ingukk’s tumblr It wasn’t captured by the gifs, but the director made sure […]
Castaway Diva: Ep 4 2008 vs 2022
Ostensibly, this episode is about RanJoo competing with her former self, or as the emcee hyped it, an aging star battling with a millennium diva. Most viewers will assume that’s what the title “2008 vs 2022” is referring to. I want you, however, to consider other possibilities. 1. For BoGyeol, he wanted no competition – […]
A Good Day to Be a Dog: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. Let me post the gifs for their kiss. @agdr03, this is for you. source: yesdramas’ tumblr What do you think? I’m giving it a score of 6 out of 10. I deducted points because of: a. the lack of sophistication and suave-ness with the landing. Don’t rush it, Cha EunWoo! b. […]

Moon in the Day: Ep 10 A Quick Note
Two valid complaints about this drama, and my response. 1. “The story feels disjointed.” Yes, even I can see that it’s disjointed. However, I say that it’s INTENTIONAL that everything feels fragmented at this point and it’s actually a sign of a well-crafted script. You see, we’re supposed to feel the onslaught of revelations. We […]
The Matchmakers: Ep 8 My Notes
I’ll be quick. 1. The marriage profiles Because the last Episode 7 featured the profiles of the Crown Prince (CP) and the eldest Maeng sister (HaNa), we are suddenly made aware of a possible match brewing between the two. It’s a match which frankly disturbs my modern 21st century mindset given the CP’s young age. […]

Castaway Diva: Ep 11 On Givers and Takers
Now’s as good a time as any to get this pet peeve off my chest. My one big problem with many recappers is that often they’re just takers. They don’t GIVE: meaning to the scenes, context to the dialogue, cinematography or mise-en-scene, explanation of the themes, or insight into a fundamental human truth. They simply […]
Unexpected Business in California: Open Thread
Ignore me. This is my bookmark. I must remind myself that my favorite PD Yu HoJin filmed this variety show in Monterey, California. His usual stars, Jo InSung and Cha TaeHyun, were with him to manage a small Korean store. It’s on kshow123.tv. I wish Viki would carry it, though. Here’s PD Yu being interviewed […]
Love Me, Love My Voice: Eps 1 to 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. The synopsis from Viki is too long but this is the gist of it. The female lead is a senior in college. She composes and creates music. Her specialty seems to be historical (or traditional? classical?) music genre. Her idol is a “voice dubbing god.” She wishes to collaborate with him […]
Castaway Diva: Ep 11 & 12 Final Open Thread
The thread is open. I hope there’s no last-minute time leap. If ever BoGyeol and MokHa have to separate so she can accelerate her changeover from castaway to diva, I want the separation to come sooner rather than later. That way their parting can be treated as an interlude and we have more time for […]
Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in December 2023?

Monday and Tuesday: “The Matchmakers” (16 episodes) ends on Dec 25 Wednesday and Thursday: “A Good […]
