Hoon’s the kingmaker, a person who wields the power to choose and designate important people in an organization and thus, shape the future goals and policies of the organization. Hoon’s not merely dealing with an arrangement between couples and families, but the perfect personnel for a monarchy. Hoon didn’t intend to be the most influential […]
Tale of Nokdu: Episode 5 Highlights, part 1
Don’t you ever wonder how these kdrama come up with metaphors about love? Just last week in “When the Camellia Blooms?” I saw love described as steam for dumplings, and now I hear that love is like a cough. You can’t hide it. What’s next? Love is like swine flu? a Tyrannosaurus Rex? A big […]
Flower Crew: Can He Kiss? #Himtoo
What’s good for Nokdu is good for Hoon. Does Hoon know how to kiss, too? So far Gaedong has been the one to impose on Hoon with her hugs and kisses. When will he reciprocate her physical affection? By Episode 14? Episode 15? Or heaven forbid, Episode 16? I watched and reviewed Kim Min Jae […]
When the Camellia Blooms: Eps 7 and 8
Just in time for tomorrow’s show. I heard this kdrama has been extended. I hope the writer won’t fill the extra episodes with fluff. 1. The murder suspect The writer did a good job throwing viewers off the scent in these episodes and showing Dongbaek’s mother as a suspect. It started with the Police Chief […]
Extraordinary You: Open Thread
I’m not watching this right now since I can’t fit it in my schedule. I saw this gif however and it reminded me of my sons since they played football. I might move this up my queue because of the sports. Is the male lead or the secondary male lead playing football? I’m guessing he’s […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 8, part 2
First part is here: Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 8, part 1 Let’s continue with the questions. 4. Isn’t Gaedong the worst female character out there? Whiny, naggy, and flirtatious? Why does she keep kissing Ma Hoon? And I just hate how the writer and director destroyed my favorite actress. Nope. I disagree with that […]
Tale of Nokdu: But Can He Kiss??
I don’t want to invade Jang Dong Yoon’s private life. What he does, romantically, in real life, is his own business and none of our beeswax. However, since we’re all missing Tale of Nokdu, let’s amuse ourselves by dreaming of our favorite kiss scene for his character, Nokdu. We’ll see how our expectations line up […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 8, part 1
updated 10/15/2019: Part 2 is here: Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 8, part 2 *****************8 Questions. Questions. Questions. I heartily agree that the plot of this kdrama isn’t the best. However, it’s not the worst either. In my critical opinion, the kdrama most deserving of virtual peanuts thrown at it from the gallery is Vagabond. […]
Flower Crew: Eps 9 & 10 Post Spoilers Here
I know many of are staying for the male lead Hoon, played by Kim Min Jae. Please post your favorite scenes, rants, spoilers, analyses, predictions and theories here. The two of them played the “Ideal Type” game. KMY was trying to match his answers to GSY so he answered that his ideal is a […]

Vagabond: Eps 7 & 8 @katakwasabi’s Comment
@katakwasabi, you posted it this as a comment, but I’m re-posting it here on the blog because it’s easier than me ditto-ing everything. Thanks! — packmule3 ********************************** I read since it’s a husband and wife writer pair, we will get a show from both male and female perspectives. But….I don’t really see it yet. I personally […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 7
The title of this episode is Second Chance: Mint. I see why the theme is about second chances because all the characters had a do-over. Let’s go over them. 1. Lee Soo The obvious one was the King. The cliffhanger showed Lee Soo pounding on the door and interrupting a critical moment between Hoon and […]
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Ep 6
I’ll go over four scenes quickly. One, the kissing scene: It’s anti-climactic now knowing that she was the one who kissed him. Am I being sexist? The thrill was lost because Gaedong, not Hoon, maneuvered the kiss. This is not an issue of women empowerment for me. When it comes to watching a romcom, I […]
Tale of Nokdu: On Being a Couple, continued
Blame my twinge of conscience on my Catholic upbringing. Here’s the half-a-point I promised On Being a Couple. 4.5. Eating If Yulmo wasn’t the second lead, I would fall for his gift-bearing ways in a big way. Hey, I’m the bitch who can be bribed with virtual chocolate chip cookies, right? So, it’s very sweet […]
