I think all dramas have a bit of Hyangmi in them. They want to end knowing that they’ve created an impact on the viewers and that they won’t be forgotten. Please post your spoilers, raves, rants, and cheers here. gif credit: without-ado’s tumblr.
When the Camellia Blooms: Ep 18 The Mystery Kid
I think this mystery kid confused some viewers. He was watching while the young Hyungsik was smacked down by his dad because of the cats. To me, that’s the young Youngsik. The mystery child was wearing a taekwondo uniform and didn’t YS take taekwondo classes?? Youngsik’s voiceover, “People easily tend to forget people’s faces,” meant […]

Bitch Talk: Winter Dramas?
It’s Thanksgiving next week, and we’ll have time to start new dramas since “Tale of Nokdu,” “When the Camellia Blooms,” and “Extra-ordinary You.” Do we have any dramas we can bitch about? I avoid legal, political and makjang dramas because kdramas are my go-to HAPPY place to escape from work burnout. I’m not into webtoons […]
Tale of Nokdu: Eps 14 – 16 Open Thread
The last week… Please post your rants, raves, spoilers, and squealers here. My extravagant wish list: 1. Nokdu and Dongju become king and queen. 2. They have babies. 3. They rule the kingdom well. 4. They’ll live happily ever after. My “BARE minimum” wish list: 1. I hope they survive together. 2. They’ll live in […]
Bitch Talk: If I Were Dating These Kdramas…
I’ve joked often enough that I’m a serial killer. I date kdrama series and dump them. This guy, on the other hand, died due to a cereal killer. Cereal. Get it? The Fall 2019 season of kdramas went off with a bang with so many new and promising dramas to choose from. But now eight […]
When the Camellia Blooms: Ep 18 Joker’s Identity
I marathoned through 6 episodes of Camellia to finally catch up with the series before it ends this Thursday. But but but… I don’t think Hyungsik’s dad is the Joker. It’s Hyungsik. I know the police captured the dad but the profile is all wrong. 1. You see, the murderer of the beautician turned up […]
Hotel del Luna: Manwol’s Reincarnation
Here’s the question: Did Manwol reincarnate? The way I see it the naysayers have only two arguments while the champions have five. The naysaysers believe that Manwol couldn’t have reincarnated because: one, the writers said that the story ended. “Hong Jung Eun: Hotel del Luna is a place where dead people come. In other words, […]
Extra-ordinary You: On Keeping Her vs Keeping Her Safe
I woke up today to plenty of great posts. Thanks @nrllee, @barbrey and @leedale9198 for your comments. If I’ve time today, I’ll post my reply out here. I’ll edit this later to post screenshots and the Episode numbers. I’m obsessive that way. I’ll answer @barbrey’s comments first. From @barbrey No I don’t think Dan Oh […]
Extra-ordinary You: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
Please post your spoilers here. Thanks! ****************** As I told @lovebangwon on twitter today, “Extra-ordinary You” and “The King in Love” were filmed by the same director. Had I known this sooner, I would have walked away. I sensed a familiar style or approach in directing while watching “Extra-ordinary You” so I went on mydramalist […]
Extra-ordinary You: On Kyung and the Philomel
While analyzing the class lectures and their relevance to the plot development, (link here: Extra-ordinary You: Lessons from the Classroom), I stumbled upon the second literary reference in Episode 1 of this romcom. Remember: it’s my opinion that the class lectures shed a light on our understanding of the kdrama. They’re not random and gratuitously added to […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 12 The Pottery Class
More thoughts on the pottery class from Chapter 24. This is what I previously wrote: 11. Pottery class: Be careful with her heart From Ch 24, at 3:00 The art teacher: The biggest charm in ceramics is the warmth of the creator goes right into the piece. True. To DanOh, Haru was like the warm […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 11 The Stars
My thoughts on the stars: DanOh was upset that the stars Haru made for her disappeared. Haru reassured her, “It didn’t disappear. Even if the stage changed, the time we spend together will still continue.” It’s quite interesting that the stars were there in the night sky in the original manhwa, “Flower” but not in […]
Extra-ordinary You: Ep 10 The Heart Monitor
@Barbrey requested: Can someone explain the heart monitor on Sae Mi’s wrist and what happened to me? I’d have to rewatch cause I didn’t get what was happening, and though Pkm3 mentions it, I still didn’t understand. Here’s the context: Haru and KY had a standoff at the end of Chapter 19. On Stage, Haru […]
