Good news! @agdro03 compiled all the BTS for this CDrama! Bad news! They’re all in Chinese, and I don’t think subs are coming anytime soon. Anyway, let’s just focus on the good news. BTS #1. The highlight would be the ancestor turtle. Sun Qian is such a carefree person. She’s bubbly and the clown on […]

Dr. Cutie: Episode 22, part 2
To continue… 6. A note on the wrist-grabs I’ve to admit that there are times when I’m watching a drama, I imagine myself reacting for the female lead. Take for instance, when Ji Heng grabbed Tian Qi by the elbow and told her, “I’m not done. You aren’t allowed to go anywhere.” If I had […]
Dr. Cutie: Episode 22, part 1
I’m not embarrassed to say that this episode made me feel like a giggly twentysomething again. If I’ve to pick my top three episodes in this Cdrama, this one will definitely be on the list. I’ll have to do two parts because of the pictures. My highlights. 1. Parrying Ji Zheng’s request Typically, I would […]

Dr. Cutie: Episode 21
My favorite moments. 1. Her bed He summoned Tian Qi to his quarters and instead of waiting for her at his usual place behind his desk, he was sitting on her bed. He must have remembered crying over her, in that very spot, after she said goodbye three nights ago. And he chose that spot […]

Dr. Cutie: Eps 19 & 20
This is a work in progress. Please come back later after I’ve finished constructing my thoughts. Done! Would I have given Tian Qi a reality check if she were my daughter? Most of the time I dislike seeing my drama heroine crying over the guy. The quantity of tears shed is inversely proportional to my […]
Dr. Cutie: Ep 18
I’m behind again, aren’t I, agdr03? 1. Out of sight, out of mind? He ordered her out of his sight, but he was still getting reports about her. Mr. Sheng sought his approval to assign Tian Qi to the army as a medical doctor. He vetoed it saying it wasn’t far enough. He wanted her […]
Dr. Cutie: Ep 17 Highlights
The first two highlights are here: Dr. Cutie: Ep 17 On Apologies 3. Ji Zheng’s request Sigh. I feel sorry for this guy but at the same time, if I were in Ji Heng’s shoes I’d be frustrated that every time family members would ask me for a favor, their real intention was to poach […]
Dr. Cutie: Ep 17 On Apologies
For an American like me, dialogues in Asian dramas are often difficult to understand because a lot of the meaning is contextual and assumes that the viewers understood the background information. For instance, I had to go back to that scene in Episode 16 when Tian Qi conversed with her conscience to understand this apology […]
Dr. Cutie: Ep 16 On Tian Qi’s SuperEgo
Isn’t it interesting that all other characters, except Tian Qi, have somebody to confide in? Ning’er has her older brother; Ji Zheng has his attendant and his older brother; and our hero Ji Heng has his steward Mr. Sheng. Who does Tian Qi have in her corner? She has an aunt, but she rarely sees […]
