What a great day! Today, we can again celebrate Christopher Columbus and his legacy of exploration, faith, and courage without dreading that woke rioters will topple statues, deface monuments, or cry racism. I don’t speak for others. But no matter the imperfections of the Western civilization, I’m still infinitely grateful to be an American and […]

Love in the Clouds: Eps 1 to 10 Open Thread
Thanks @ibisfeather for recommending this cdrama. I’m enjoying it because of the heroine, Ming Yi, played by Lu YuXiao. She’s both funny and unconventional at conniving her way out of trouble. Although she must masquerade as a fairy, she isn’t a boring damsel-in-distress like that Esther Yu’s character in “Love Between the Fairy and the […]

Ms. Incognito: Eps 1 & 2 My Notes
In the “What Are You Watching” thread for October, I wrote my first impression. @ibisfeather recommended this kdrama. I noted: I’m 30 minutes into the first episode of “Ms. Incognito.” So far, it’s moving pretty quickly and I haven’t identified major tropes yet. But then, I don’t often get to watch pseudo-thrillers like this. My […]

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty: Ep 12 On Hwanseban
Let’s retrace our steps to Episode 11. In Episode 11, King YiHeon listed the ingredients and drew the bibimbap that JiYeong had made for him at their first meeting. But its exact name eluded his memory. He called his Eunuch to show his sketch to him. [I checked. He called the bibimbap, “barley rice.” JiYeong […]

A Hundred Memories: Ep 6 Mr. Daddy Long Legs!
Didn’t I say so from the beginning? From My First Impressions, I wrote I wasn’t invested in a YeongRye-JaePil endgame because I preferred Kim JungHyun’s character better than that troubled youth. I compared him to Daddy-Long-Legs. He looked after her needs covertly like the character in that American classic. As far as I was concerned, […]
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty: Ep 11 On Soy Meat and Eggplant
I’ll get to the straight to the point because I have yet to watch Episode 12, and people are lurking to read my commentary. It shouldn’t be difficult to see why the screenwriter chose soy meat gujeolpan, and eggplant pie to reveal the subject of this episode. In one word, it’s substitution. The theme of […]
A Hundred Memories: Ep 6 My Not-So-Lonesome Rewatch
Since I can sense you champing at the bit, I’ll open this thread, @GB. Go ahead and post your comments. I’m finishing up something. Yes. The bubbles everywhere, as you noted, @GB. They look pretty for a while but they eventually burst in the same way that her dreams and illusions are shattered in time. […]
A Hundred Memories: The Voiceovers
@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 […]
