Knowing me, I’d love to break down ShinYu’s wordplay and show the Love Spell in action. But for now, let me focus on the things that may not get attention. If I have time later, I’ll work on transcribing the dialogue. But if not, this write-up will have to suffice. 1. Coworkers Ms. Ma and […]

Destined With You: Ep 3 Quick Takes
Let’s go hand in hand. 1. The Potions Lol. I get now why our heroine HongJo (HJ) works in the Park Maintenance Team.

Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in September 2023?
I’m watching “My Lovely Liar” till it ends third week of September. I’m still getting my bellyaches from the comedy of “Behind Your Touch.” (Yes, I’m behind writing my notes but there’s nothing I can do.) I just started “Destined With You” and I might hang around for a while. And I’m still reviewing “Hidden […]
My Lovely Liar: Ep 10 Quick Takes

Destined With You: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
I’m in! To be clear, I wasn’t prepared to like this kdrama because of the main actors, Rowoon and Jo BoAh. RoWoon has starred in many dramas since I first saw him in “Extra-Ordinary You” and none of them clicked with me because of his wooden acting and tired storyline. She Would Never Know: noona […]
