I just saw this casting news, everyone, and it's a jaw-dropping round-up of famous faces, and so I just had to share. Plus, the writer is Noh Hee Kyung, who's the writer behind shows like Padam Pad...
2021-10-07 03:58:34 +0000 UTC View PostE1. I can't believe that I enjoyed this episode so much, considering how skeptical I'd been, when this show's synopsis first came out. I hadn't thought that the live action mixed with animation con...
2021-10-07 00:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostE7. Interestingly, I find my interest in this show growing, with each episode. I might have liked this episode more than all the others than came before. I hadn't expected that, particularly of a s...

I came across this making-of video of what is arguably Gong Yoo's most famous shirtless photoshoot, and thought I'd share it with you guys, since, with his cameo in Squid Game, everyone's attention...
2021-10-05 01:28:46 +0000 UTC View PostHi my dear friends,
Just a little update, that the guy from the BBC hasn't quite gotten back to me on when he'd like to do the interview. In the meantime, I've decided to write my own post wh...
2021-10-02 14:01:55 +0000 UTC View PostE6. We get more context this episode, and it's woven into the events in the present day, and I rather like that effect. As our characters learn more about each other, so do we. And as it turns out,...
2021-10-02 07:55:39 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
I'm so happy to see that you guys have been enjoying your chats on our inaugural Drama Exchange post in September! I try to peek at the conversations, but I honestly can't keep u...
2021-10-01 00:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Just a quick note to confirm that Lost E3 notes will be late, due to my sudden but necessary Squid Game marathon. 😅
I will do my best to still get the notes out sometime...
2021-09-30 05:49:34 +0000 UTC View PostE1. The hype is real with this one, you guys.
When I first read this show's synopsis and realized this was a death game sort of story, which means lots of violence, blood and death with the t...

You guysss. I received this email from someone from the BBC today, asking if I'm interested to talk about Squid Game with them. 😱I'm in shock, truly.
I wanted to share this with you,...
2021-09-29 14:09:11 +0000 UTC View PostHi my dear friends,
I'm working on my This Month on Patreon post for October, and realize that we'll be finishing our watch of Breakup Probation, A Week, on ...
2021-09-29 08:46:26 +0000 UTC View PostE5. We get some important and interesting backstory this episode, and I now feel even more invested in these characters than before.
I really liked getting to see the beginnings of Ga Ram's r...
2021-09-27 07:35:39 +0000 UTC View PostE2. With most shows, I find that I'm able to just write out my thoughts right away. With this show, I feel like I need to give myself some time to soak, to let it all marinate for a bit, not just i...
2021-09-25 09:13:05 +0000 UTC View PostE2. I don't think I've told you guys this before, and you've probably already got a sense of this anyway, but sometimes, I find that I have to work to like a show. Like, put in the effort to see wh...
2021-09-24 07:42:59 +0000 UTC View PostE4. Even though this is a mini drama, it does feel like it has more weight to it than the average web drama. I think this has a lot to do with our story's tone. Where most web dramas tend to lean l...

The blog got a mention in VOGUE India's recent article on kdramas!! 😱
I consider this a huge honor, because not only is the blog mentioned in the same breath as MyDramaList, it always used...
2021-09-22 06:07:21 +0000 UTC View PostE2. Well, the thing about this show being more magicky than any other sageuk I've watched to date, is that I have no idea what our story world's rules and limits are. That in itself adds a layer of...
2021-09-21 06:53:17 +0000 UTC View PostE1. I know this show doesn't look super appealing at first glance, but I hafta say, this one feels pretty promising, right off the bat.
In broad strokes, it reminds me of My Mister, and I con...
2021-09-20 00:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostE1. I'd actually been rather nervous to start on this one, because I'd heard a smattering of negative things, and I'd wondered how I'd feel when I watched those specific items for myself. Also, the...
2021-09-19 00:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostE3. Given that Ga Ram's supernatural experience is really not the sort of thing you'd expect to encounter in real life, it's believable that she would convince herself that it was all a dream. This...
2021-09-17 07:45:03 +0000 UTC View PostE1. Well, that was certainly A LOT more mysticism and magic than I'd expected, coming into this show. For some reason, despite Show's promos revealing Ahn Hyo Seop's character's red eyes, it hadn't...
2021-09-16 00:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostE2. Ooh. This little show is shaping up to be pretty darn solid, from what I can see so far. It definitely feels like it's delving deeper into relationships than the average web drama, and it also ...

2021-09-07 03:03:30 +0000 UTC View PostE1. I've heard fans of this show describe this show as poignant and beautiful, which immediately gets my attention. Poignant and beautiful is just the sort of thing that I'd lap up, drama-wise.

This is a new feature that I'm starting here on Patreon, at Jennifer's suggestion. Basically, Jennifer mentioned to me that with all the various drama recommenda...
2021-09-05 09:35:45 +0000 UTC View PostE12. Oof. Show serves up the angst this episode, and it's of the raw, hit-me-hard variety. This was a tough episode.
First of all, I dislike Hwi Oh's ex, so much, you guys. ...
2021-09-02 07:04:45 +0000 UTC View PostE3-4. It's tough being in Ruoxin's shoes, and the thing that makes those tough scenes even harder to watch, is that it all feels quite true to life. This really is the kind of stuff that women at t...
2021-08-29 07:54:29 +0000 UTC View PostE11. Oof. This turned out to be a difficult episode to watch. I mean, we do get some flashes of warm and cozy, but by and large, this was a challenging episode for our OTP.
For a start, I'm g...
