@GB, I’m opening this thread so it’s easier for us to compile the voiceovers and note the progression. Please me your subs if they’re vastly different from the Viki’s sub for comparison. Thanks. pm3 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Episode 1: Youth, how beautiful (translation from Hitv) YeongRye’s voiceover at the beginning of the episode: YeongRye: And that’s how our […]
A Hundred Memories: Ep 5 My Not-So-Lonesome Rewatch
The thread is open. I’m guessing that someone realized that the character played by actor Kim JungHyun — that is, the friend of YeongRye’s oppa, aka Daddy Long Legs (DLL) – is receiving more approval than the male lead that he’s now been promoted from “cameo” to “support role” on Mydramalist’s cast list. When I […]
What Are We Watching in October 2025?
October marks the start of many interesting kdramas, cdramas and doramas that I can already foresee problems juggling all of them at once. I still have “A Hundred Memories,” “Shim’s Project,” and “Mantis” to carry over from October. Forgive me if I don’t get to write as often or as in-depth as you expect me […]
A Hundred Memories: Ep 4 My Lonesome Rewatch
The thread is open. As I observed earlier, this is a kdrama that’s better with live commentary (e.g., a rewatch) than a review. Why? Because the main leads — young as they are — are making so many mistakes that the worrywart in me can’t help but fret, “You’re doomed! You’ll never make it!” Hahaha. […]
While You Were Sleeping: Rewatch Ep 10 Sat, Sept 27

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty: Ep 10 On Restaurant, part 3
This is the end of my discussion of this theme. I promise. 8. Restore the meaning of the Cheoyongmu dance I should have explained the significance of this dance back in Episode 3 when King YiHeon danced it with the jesters. Hold your breath; I’ll take a deep dive again. If you google search the […]
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty: Ep 10 On Restaurant, part 2
Just as a recap, here are the different choices of metaphorical “restaurants” (or “restorative soups”) in Episode 10 that many viewers missed because they snubbed the food theme. Ha! 😂 1. Recover the missing gochogaru 2. Recapture the memories of their physical contact (and restore his dignity by not falling down) 3. Restore his sanity […]
A Hundred Memories: Ep 3 My Lonesome Rewatch
This is one of those kdramas where reviews don’t work as well as a live commentary (that is, making observations in real-time). I wish someone would be here to rewatch it with me but since I know all of you are busy, I’ll post my comments. Feel free @snowflower or @GB to post your thoughts […]
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty: Ep 10 On Restaurant and Restoration
I’m enjoying this series still so I’ll probably watch the final 2 episodes next week. Not only is it an ingenious idea to use food to move the romance plot forward, but I absolutely love finding these small connections. For example, in Episode 5, the “Snowflakes Schnitzel” was about discovering the favorite things of JiYeong so […]
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty: Ep 9 On Pressure-Cooked Ogyetang
I watched Episode 7, skipped 8 (will watch after this), and finished Episode 9. Let me explain the pressure-cooked chicken soup because I know people are waiting for this. (I’ll explain Eps 7 and 8 later). A note to the lurkers just joining my critiques of this drama now: I had posited from the beginning […]
Mobius: Open Thread
The thread is open, @GB and @Welmaris. Dissect the cdrama to your heart’s content. Will transfer your comments from the WAWW Sept thread here. Let’s enjoy the show! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 @GB wrote: Suddenly I am watching a cdrama, “Mobius” (2025) because it has a similar time-loop premise as ‘Reset’ that I liked. Same actor even! Bai […]

You and Everything Else: Open Thread
@GB, I’m reposting your reviews out here in case others want to comment and join you. I had planned to watch this, but in view of Charlie Kirk’s assassination over a week ago and funeral on Sunday, I can’t bear to watch anything about death right now. I wish there was some way in the […]
A Hundred Memories: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions
Though I don’t post on the blog like clockwork, I do automatically think of ways the title relates to the theme or message of the kdrama as soon as I finish the first episode. Here, it’s straightforward. The way I see it “A Hundred Memories” can refer to three things. 1. The title refers to […]
