Really just quick takes for last week’s episode. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 1. DoHa’s surprising reaction I was expecting him to avoid encountering SolHee after she revealed that she was a human lie detector. After all, if he indeed killed EumJi, then he would be on guard every minute spent with Solhee. He would fear talking to her […]
My Lovely Liar: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. I’m still watching this show. I’m just late in posting my Quick Takes because I was traveling last week. (Crossing my fingers that I’ll have them out today!) gifs from dramaism’s tumblr source: dramaism’s tumblr Good job, Solhee! She’s now reinventing her mantra, “If I say so, then it is so.” […]

The thread is open. Please join @WE, @FeiFei, @Stacy, @monmor, and @GB for the rewatch. Kdrama: Queen In Hyun’s Man/Queen & I (2012). It’s a time jumping show where the guy from 300 years in the past jumps back and forth to the future, and of course, falls in love. This is another well written, […]
Grace no Rireki: Open Thread
The thread is open, @GB and @FGB4877. Is this another slice-of-life drama? Here’s the synopsis from mydramalist: In her beloved car, “Grace”, a wife is on her way to Narita.

My Lovely Liar: Eps 7 & 8 Open Thread
The thread is open. What do I expect this week? 1. The ex-girlfriend’s brother accidentally meets SolHee, and makes the wrong assumption that she’s his GF. 2. SolHee finally remembers the first time she met DoHa on the bus. 3. A kiss. The kiss usually occurs around Episode 8 in kdramas. gifs from goyoonjung’s tumblr […]
Hidden Love: Ep 15 On Confession D-Day
Chapter 15. Confession. Attraction Featured Object: Birthday cake For me, one of the joys of being a woman is I never had to confess my feelings FIRST to a man I was attracted to. Don’t get me wrong. I dislike love confessions NOT because I would’ve found the experience nerve-wracking or because I would’ve been […]
Hidden Love: OST “You Are My Only Wish”
Housekeeping stuff first. One. I believe that I’m the ONLY “Hidden Love” fan who hasn’t seen the ending. (What can I say? I’ve superb self-control and I’m master of delayed gratification.) I know that it’s a happy-ever-after but please do NOT spoil the details of Episodes 20 to 24 for me. Let this be MY […]
My Lovely Liar: Ep 6 Quick Takes
1. The dinner date I appreciate DoHa’s efforts in dining out in a very public place. He was so anxious thinking that people were paying attention to him. SolHee had to reassure him that people were just going about their usual business. From Episode 3: SH: You know, people don’t care about other people as […]
My Lovely Liar: Eps 5 Quick Takes
1. That was a good use of flashback to give the viewers a recap of DoHa’s relationship with his missing Ex. They began dating in high school. Everything was going fine till she started exhibiting the “octopus syndrome.” She wrapped all her tentacles around him and wouldn’t let him go to Seoul. I was annoyed […]
Behind Your Touch: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
I didn’t think I would’ve liked this romcom for three reasons: One, the information dump. Episode 1 was one boring information dump on the female lead’s origins. Long story short, her mom died, moved in with her maternal grandpa and aunt, was shunned by grandpa, met high school BFF and protector, and went to veterinarian […]
Hidden Love: Ep 15 On Holding Hands
I’m half-convinced that the “D” in Jiaxu’s surname stands for devious. Seated inside the theater, he noticed that Sang Zhi had her sleeves covering her hands like mittens. As he had warned her, it was going to be chilly inside the theater. He recommended a hot drink for her. but she insisted on a cold […]
My Lovely Liar: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is open. gifs from goyoonjungs’ tumblr Was the word “Coke” computer-generated??!!! credit: goyoonjungs’ tumblr I found this scene inconsistent. If Doha was so afraid to be seen in public without a face mask, then why did they pick a table right in front of a picture window. Huh, director?? Or is this supposed […]
My Lovely Liar: Ep 4 On Red Herrings
@Good Twin said this: I just started watching this. Wasn’t it implied in Episode 4 that his mom is the killer? Probably a red herring but she seemed to know that the girlfriend was dead and at the bottom of the ocean I wouldn’t mind if she was just a red herring. But her comment […]
