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 […]
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
The thread is open. Episode 10 – 27 September 2025 Episode 11 – 4 October 2025 Episode 12 – 11 October 2025 Episode 13 – 18 October 2025 Episode 14 – 25 October 2025 Episode 15 – 1 November 2025 Episode 16 – 8 November 2025 Enjoy the show!
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 […]
