Dating in the Kitchen: Episode 6
I’ve to list down the highlights because I’m going to forget them. 1. The Uncle dropped by We saw the beginning of this last episode.

Dating in the Kitchen: Eps 4 and 5
Update: 9/29/2020. @Table122000, that scene with Lu Jin reading in the sunlight reminded me of a Vermeer masterpiece.

We know that it’s a fleeting moment, that is, the […]

The Heiress: Eps 1 to 4 First Impressions
I recommend this historical Chinese romcom. @HEHarry, where are you?

Let’s face it. Many of you come to this blog thinking that it offers an in-depth analysis on kdramas when, in reality, this blog is nothing more than a haven for the eternally romantic – and boy-crazy – fangirls like me. I pretend to be cerebral when deep down inside, I’m just as likely to […]

On 5/1/2020, HEHarry wrote: Now it’s all over, now looking for something new to watch during lockdown. Starting to get into “Love is All”. Episodes 1-6 are now on YouTube.
