2021-12-11 14:34:02 +0000 UTC View PostE1. I like this one, and right away, you guys. It's likely because of a bunch of different things, but I am just feeling this one, and so easily too. It's.. kinda surreal. If Show keeps this up, I think I'm going to be a very happy camper.
First thing I'd like to say, is that I am digging t...
2021-12-11 00:30:00 +0000 UTC View PostE2. Remember how I said I was just ok with episode 1, but expected to get into Show more, if Lee Jun Ho was allowed to serve up some consistent smolder? Muahahaha. The smolder is here, my friends, and I am here for it! 🤩😁
I mean, there is a sense of tropeyness running through...
2021-12-09 07:56:27 +0000 UTC View PostE1. This is one instance where I feel like this first episode was solid, but also, that the entire thing was just an opening act, to get us to the actual story. As a result, even though I feel like I've watched a lot of happenings on my screen so far, it somehow also feels like I haven't actually...
2021-12-04 00:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey dear friends!
Thanks to everyone who responded to my previous post, asking if you guys would like to turn your year-end picks into guest posts for the main blog!

E2. I actually really like this episode, except for one small thing that niggles at me, and which I'm trying to ignore, because, for now, at least, it feels more like an execution-related issue than an intrinsic narrative issue.
Essentially, I love the idea that Yoon Su is in love with math...
2021-12-03 07:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I saw from your Drama Exchange chats, that you guys are coming up with individual year-end lists, and this morning, the thought suddenly occurred to me, that it might be fun for you guys to turn your individual year-end drama picks into guests posts for the main blog.

2021-12-01 00:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostE1. Well, just based on this first episode alone, I'd say that I'm.. intrigued, enough to want to see what else Show has in store, and what story Show wants to tell.
To be honest, there are a number of things in here, that push Show into the category of drama that I wouldn't normally reach ...

I have to confess that I didn't see this coming, mainly because I managed to miss the fact that they were even dating in the first place! 😅Whoops.

2021-11-23 04:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostE2. I'm still feeling cautiously positive about this show, in that, I really liked the rest of the childhood portion of our story, but I'm a little thrown by the tonal shift that we get, as we transition into the adult portion of our story.
I'll talk more about the tonal shift later, but fi...

Looking at my schedule for the first week of December, I feel like I need to do something, in order to make the week survivable. 😅

2021-11-13 07:43:57 +0000 UTC View PostE1. What a solid, solid opening episode. I am cautiously hooked, you guys.
While I was most attracted to this show because of the dreamy trailers that promised a cute, sweet romance between Park Eun Bin's Crown Prince and Ro Woon's scholar, I understand that there is a lot of necessary cont...

So I literally JUST got this DM on Instagram, you guys.
Apparently VOGUE India wants to do an online article and would like me to contribute some insights / perspectives. Ahhh! Their previous mention of the blog really wasn't a fluke, heh!

Hi my dear friends,
I recently (like, just a couple of hours ago) published episode 1 notes for My Name, under Early Access Extras, for the Ultimate Tier (in case you didn't know, Early Access Extras is a bonus look, for the Ultimate Tier, ...
2021-10-28 07:42:43 +0000 UTC View PostE1. So the reason I was curious to check out this show, is because I've heard that this is quite the breakthrough role for Han So Hee.
I thought Han So Hee did a good job of playing "The Other Woman" types in World of the Married and Money Flower, but it did feel like Han So Hee was getting...

Thanks for all of your lovely words of support, and your genuine curiosity to know more about Mom's stories. I ...
2021-10-26 09:11:38 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
I thought I'd just give you guys a quick update, that the guy from the BBC, who'd asked me to speak with him about Squid Game, never came back to me.
I don't know what happened; he just stopped replying after asking for a phone interview. I did follow up 3 days late...
2021-10-26 01:40:59 +0000 UTC View PostE1-2. When my mom started watching this show, she couldn't stop talking about it, right from episode 1. I'd shushed her after a while, asking her not to tell me too much, because I planned to watch this show too, and didn't want spoilers.
Now that I've watched the first two episodes for mys...

2021-10-20 02:22:48 +0000 UTC View PostE9. This turned out to be a really poignant penultimate episode.
The fact that Seon Jae knows what Ga Ram is dealing with, and realizes why she wants to break up with him, makes all the difference.
From his acquiescence to her request to break up, to asking her for one final day toget...

This tidbit comes from our very own Jennifer, who found out that there's a new collaboration between our Favorite Five, and Na PD (who hilariously did NOT cameo as himself on HP2), where we'll get to see our Fantastic Five continue to hang out together, away f...
2021-10-15 12:37:04 +0000 UTC View PostE2. One of the great things about this show, is just how relatable it is. I mean, I laugh at all the overthinking and foibles, but the true value of seeing this on my screen, is a sense of vindication, that, ah, I'm not weird after all, we're just ALL like this. 😅
I know I said last epis...
2021-10-12 09:20:08 +0000 UTC View PostE8. This is definitely turning out to be a somewhat slow-burn type of show, where sticking around feels rewarding.
I'd expected that Seon Jae would meet Y in that supernatural office place, since the implication is that Y brought him there, but instead, Seon Jae gets a chance to enter X's o...
