Do You Like Brahms: Ep 1 First Impressions
First things first. 1. We all understood the reason for the title of the kdrama, right? Park Joon Young: By the way, what kind of exam do you have to take to get into Kyunghoon Cultural Foundation? Chae Song Ah: We had to write a proposal for a chamber music performance. I wrote about a […]
Alice: Ep 3 Quick Takes
I’m having “The King: Eternal Monarch” post-drama/post-traumatic flashbacks with the math and people switching places with their original selves. While waiting for Episode 4, here’s my take on Episode 3. 1. Who’s this man? Well, he has the book now. He’s the unidentified guy running away here. No… I don’t think Officer Go was chasing […]
Alice: The Book of Prophesy
I view the “Book of Prophesy” like a message in the bottle. To avoid all these washed up bottles of prophesy littering the pristine shores (ha!) of my brain, I’m going to compile the passages here as they come. Episode 1 1. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur Clarke This is […]

Flower of Evil: Ep 11 Open Thread
I heard there’s only going to be one episode this week because production was temporarily suspended late August after the resurgence of the coronavirus in South Korea. Safety and good health come first. I’ll have time to watch Eps 9, 10, and 11 as soon as things settle down in my neck of the woods. […]
Flower of Evil: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open for spoilers, analysis, rants and raves. Let’s enjoy the show! Things I want to know: 1. Why was the village chief killed? Did noona really kill him in an altercation re the shaman exorcism for Hyunsoo or did she kill him because he tried to molest her? Or was the Mystery […]
Flower of Evil: Ep 8 Response to @Arihsi’s Comments
Arihsi, you raised good points. Let me answer you here so it’s easy for me to remember what I wrote. I still don’t think he has ASD 🙂 we’ll have to see what he endured as a child to be sure. But couple of things jump at me. I agree. By Episode 8, I’m seeing […]

Flower of Evil: Ep 7 Subject to Interpretation
There are scenes in Episode 7 which can be perceived or understood in different ways. These are my interpretations. You don’t have to agree with them. A. Ep 7, 50:01 Noona made a notch on the tree. Noona: If you grow this much, I’ll find mom for you. Look. If you want to grow this […]

Flower of Evil: Lee JoonKi and the Kuleshov Effect
This is the Vocab of the Day: the Kuleshov Effect. lol. I was reading this article from soompi on Lee JoonGi’s acting in “Flower of Evil” when that term popped up in my head. I’ll quote the text so you don’t have to go to soompi, and highlight the two segments that I found interesting. […]
