This episode was like heading right into the eye of the storm, and suddenly it’s all quiet and calm again for a brief moment in time. Our OTP found a pocket of serenity surrounded by a maelstrom that threatens to destroy everything that matters. It was temporary and hard fought, but I got to enjoy it with them for the … Continue reading →

Okay, this was totally unexpected. After two weeks of radio silence from SBS until hours before the next episode airs, I was not expecting to see the written preview for episode 13 of Lie to Me released so soon. Hey, not looking a gift horse in the mouth here. I have the say that the written previews for LTM have generally … Continue reading →
This recap was so hard to write. So hard that I don’t even want to think about how I’m going to write the next three remaining ones. I was quaking inside from so many feelings bumping up against each other. Best Love (The Greatest Love) is the first Hong Sisters drama for me that has not taken a second half … Continue reading →
How strong is your capacity to handle angst, Best Love fans? My tolerance is pretty high, yet I ended up crying through the happy part of episode 13 of BL today and then smiling through the sad parts. That just means this drama is KILLING me with the tenderness mixed with the tension. I still don’t believe the Hong Sisters … Continue reading →
Who needs more hugs? I need more hugs. Hug me, Ji Hwan-ahhh! Actually, I think both Kang Ji Hwan and Yoon Eun Hye needs hugs from us. And they need to keep hugging each other as well. They are never allowed to let go, else the universe might be disrupted and flowers will wither everywhere. Here to report that it’s … Continue reading →
This week sees the premiere of two new TW-dramas – Material Queen with Vanness Wu and Lynn Xiong on Friday (I am SO watching that), and Hayate the Combat Butler with Park Shin Hye and George Hu on Sunday (also watching, looks cute). Park Shin Hye took 3 days out of her sure to be packed filmng schedule for her … Continue reading →
It’s such a bittersweet feeling watching episode 12 of Lie to Me. On one hand it was so unbelievably sweet and wonderful, but you know the killer angst is coming. On a personal level, I was counting down that we’ve got only four more episodes left of LTM, and that made me all sorts of preemptively sad. One of my … Continue reading →
For fans of Lie to Me who have newly discovered Kang Ji Hwan, I’ve noticed a sudden uptick in people contemplating doing naughty things to him. *raises eyebrow* That is strictly verboten at the playground, m’kay? So after watching episode 12, especially the breathtakingly awesome ending to this episode, keep reminding yourself that. At the playground Ji Hwan belongs to … Continue reading →
I confess that the first two teaser trailers for Heartstrings was just a whole lotta pretty – pretty colors, pretty backdrops, pretty people. But the story was about as transparent as looking through a stained glass window. It did whet my appetite, but that only means I need some real sustenance. And by jove did MBC turn around and deliver. … Continue reading →
Episode 9 of Drunken to Love You harkens back to the tone and mood of episode 1. A combination of farcical slap stick moments mixed in with emotional angst in a now trademark DTLY way. The drama broke 5 in ratings for this episode, so this means we’re about to get Joseph Chang and Tom Price jumping into a pool. … Continue reading →
I have discovered that Lie to Me is turning out to be a drama that is considered a failure in storytelling primarily because it’s being presented as a K-drama to viewers with preconceived notions of what to expect. If LTM were a romance novel, it’ll be one of the better ones out there. Flimsy and nonsensical plot nothwithstanding, the interactions … Continue reading →
The last drama where I had to recap a day spent in Jeju with the OTP ending up being the infamous Ha Ni and Seung Jo honeymoon in Jeju in Playful Kiss, complete with Shameless Hussy, matching pajamas, and an editing monkey I wanted to throttle who filmed the wedding night from behind a WALL. Yeah, is still bitter. Thankfully, … Continue reading →
