The Apothecary Diaries S3E49 ”Locusts”
We’re back…back to the palace and back to Maomao and Jinshi. But a lot has changed since we last saw them. Jinshi has now cast off his eunuch persona and embraced his role as the emperor’s younger brother. The emperor has two healthy sons and Gyokuyou is about to be crowned Empress. And most surprisingly,…
Sold Out on You Eps 9-10 Review
‘Que Sera Sera’ At least they didn’t draw out the forced separation too long. Matthew and Ye-jin go their separate ways and spend some time moping through their daily routines before (in another fortuitous coincidence) they run into each other at a resort (Ye-jin scoping it out for work and Matthew there for a business…
Though I Am An Inept Villainess Ep 1-2: ‘Trading Places’
‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ I’ve mentioned before that I am a sucker for rear palace dramas. So the minute the recommendation for ‘Though I am an Inept Villainess’ crossed my screen, I was intrigued. Set in a fictional kingdom inspired by historical China, it is centered around the Maiden Court, a place…
Sold Out on You Eps 7-8 Review
‘One Step Forward, Two Steps Back’ We’ve now reached that stage in most any romcom where that big relationship blocker, ‘miscommunication’, steps in and creates problems all around. The show pulls a bit of a fast one on the viewers, at first lulling us into thinking everything is going swimmingly before blindsiding us with a…
Sold Out on You Eps 4-6 Review
‘Lean on Me’ Matthew certainly seems to have developed a bit of a saviour complex with regards to Ye-jin. Perhaps the pathos in her nighttime sleep-talking calls to her mother sparked a protective instinct in him. Especially after one such call clues him in that she’s potentially in some danger and he rushes to her…
Sold Out on You Eps 2-3 Review
‘If at First You Don’t Succeed…’ I appreciate the pacing of this series so far. Only 3 episodes in and already I have answers to some of my questions, an emotional backstory with a few plot twists, and of course plenty of time with our lead pair. You have to hand it to Ye-jin -…
Teach You a Lesson Ep 2 – Gangs of Duun
‘The Wannabe Gangsters’ If the previous episode dealt with a more intimate topic of extreme bullying, this one pivoted to a more macro issue of gang violence (broader in the sense of how it disrupts the entire school ecosystem vs. bullying where the majority of students can fly relatively under the radar at the cost…
Sold Out on You Ep 1 Review
‘Irritation at First Sight?’ What do a home shopping network host and a mushroom farmer have in common? Not much at first glance. Or even second glance as the show impresses upon us as we get to meet our protagonists, Dam Ye-jin and Matthew Lee. Ye-jin is a highly successful home shopping host at HIT…
Teach You a Lesson Ep 1 – Bully for You
‘The Well-Connected Bully’ Often when watching American high school dramas (especially the more edgy ones) I’ve questioned the extent to which the shows reflect what’s happening in real life and the extent to which it is sensationalised. When I heard the premise of ‘Teach You a Lesson’, about a government sanctioned vigilante group tackling problem…
Masters of the Universe Review
It seems to be the season for reviving old childhood favourites. There’s the recent mortal combat movie, the upcoming street fighter movie, and of course Masters of the Universe. In case you missed this growing up, Masters of the Universe revolves around Prince Adam of Eternia who, with the help of his magic Power Sword…
