I’ll respond here instead of in the comment section, @WEnchanteur. It’s easier for me to add my thoughts. 🙂 One of the first comments I made about this drama is: I feel like I’m loosing brain cells. You mentionned the scene about capitalism, but what hit more my attention here is when they say young […]
The Matchmakers: Eps 1 & 2 My First Impressions
This kdrama has a lot to unpack. I’ll start with the serious topics before I get deluged with other kdramas to critique this week, namely “A Good Day to Be a Dog,” “Castaway Diva” and the never-ending “Hidden Love.” 1. The political alignment It’s always good to know who’s on whose side. a. On one […]
Castaway Diva: Eps 1 & 2 A Quick Note on KiHo
Just a quick note before you all go down the rabbit hole…. There are seemingly two mysteries in the romance. Let’s not conflate the two. The first mystery is the whereabouts of the adult Jung KiHo. The second is the identity of female lead Seo MokHa’s “One True Match” or OTM. Who will be her […]
Castaway Diva: Eps 1 & 2 Open Thread
Here’s the thread, as requested by our resident Divo, @WEnchanteur. I’ll chime in later to give my two cents on the one-true-pair (OTP). I’m sure the lurkers from “Start Up”– the haters and fans of this blog, alike — are waiting to see what I have to say on the male lead’s identity because I […]
A Good Day to Be a Dog: Ep 4 Open Thread
The thread is open. gifs from yesdramas’ tumblr source: yesdramas’ tumblr Me (channeling a fangirl): Omigawd! Even the way he opened the soda is soooo manly! Lol. Let’s enjoy the show!
Strong Girl Namsoon: Ep 8 Light and Shadow of Gangnam
This will be quick because I need to write reviews for the other shows. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 The title has three interpretations. The first is the obvious one. Namsoon was depressed because one of her coworkers at Doogo died from over-exhaustion. Heesik: Everything was caught on his dashcam. He died from the energy drinks he kept drinking […]
Moon in the Day: Eps 1 to 4 Open Thread
The thread is open. Remember the transmigration of souls. The actor, Kim Young Dae, will play two characters: Do Ha, a noble warrior during the Silla era, who was killed by his beloved wife, Ha Ni Ta, and Han Jun Oh, a top star in modern day Korea. Do Ha’s vengeful soul enters Han Jun […]
The Matchmakers: OST “Half of My Heart”
I believe this is the first time that I’m posting the OST before my First Impressions. But this is music just brightened up my day. It made me feel like dancing. Needless to say I’m down for this drama. “Half of My Heart” Sung by Theo of P1Harmony (Is this a new boygroup??) As for […]
Strong Girl Namsoon: Ep 7 Moonbow
A “moonbow” is a lunar rainbow. As we all know, a rainbow occurs when sunlight reflects on water droplets in the atmosphere. On the flip side, a moonbow occurs when moonlight reflects on water droplets. When you think about this, though, moonlight is the sun’s rays reflected off the moon. So to me, a moonbow […]

Bitch Talk: What Are We Watching in November 2023?
November will be a daunting month for those with an extreme fear of missing out, better known as FOMO. I counted no less than five dramas with engaging storylines to premiere this month. I’ll have to be very picky about which dramas to add to my pile since I still have “Strong Woman Namsoon,” “A […]
Happy Halloween!
This is our time to shine, Bitches! It’s all right to be batty, scary, creepy, and bad to the bone today. source: dress-this-way tumblr Will you watch a horror show tonight?
The Matchmakers: Open Thread
The thread is open. I must say that Rowoon is one industrious idol-turned-actor. He did “Extra-Ordinary You” in 2019, “She Would Never Know” and “The King’s Affection” in 2021, “Tomorrow” in 2022, and “Destined With You” and this drama in 2023. I’m glad that he’s making hay while the sun shines. This drama is about […]
Hidden Love: Ep 22 On Romance
If you’re watching on Netflix, the title of this episode is “Resplendent. See the stars with you.” But if you’re watching on Youku, the title is “Romance. To see the stars with you.” I don’t know about you, but I prefer Youku’s translation to Netflix’s. “Resplendent” only means dazzling, magnificent; and I didn’t see anything […]
