Flowers For My Life: Episode 13

What a great episode. I cried practically all the way through it, but it was a good cry. The satisfying kind. So many great conversations, and lots of great acting. And, as always, gorgeous cinematography. (Random) SONG OF THE DAY Rumble Fish – “Smile Again.” [ zShare download ] [Audio clip: view full post to... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 12

Thankfully, things lightened up a bit this week! As much as I’m enjoying Flowers For My Life, last week was starting to bum me out because it was starting to get sad. At least we have a lot of sweet moments between Ho Sang and Hana here, and I think I’ve figured out a way... More »

^^ The flowers Ran puts in her hair. Oh, and this episode tells me her name is actually Lan, not Ran (the Korean letter used doubles for both “l” and “r” and I don’t know Vietnamese to have guessed Lan). But I’ll stick to Ran for now to stay consistent. (Random) SONG OF THE DAY... More »

Ah, Flowers For My Life, you keeeeel me. So many great moments in this episode, and the ending sequence was wonderful. I’ve said this many times before, how I don’t care about ratings, but this is utter travesty. The last episode garnered ratings of 3.3%, and that’s just wrong. It’s criminal. How can utter pedestrian... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 9
by | June 13, 2007 | 27 Comments
Some people may think that being disappointed in a series that they’ve been eagerly anticipating (Witch Amusement, Air City) is because their expectations were too high. That they should lower their own expectations in order to enjoy the drama, as though somehow blaming themselves for a disappointing drama rather than the production team who’s created... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 7

(Picture reads: DAE BAK) Episode 7 was a great example of a kdrama that managed to work well as a separate episode with its own theme and story, as well as part of the larger series arc. This is what I wish Air City would do better — tell a smaller story that resonates thematically... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 6

I’m so dumb. It took me this long to make the connection: The series is called Flowers For My Life, and the episodes feature flowers in a different, yet prominent way. I’d noticed the flowers — different kinds each time — but the connection hadn’t occurred to me. Sometimes they’re significant thematically, sometimes merely visually.... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 5
by | May 29, 2007 | 25 Comments
It makes me sad that more people aren’t watching Flowers For My Life. It’s a series that shows that kdramas can be touching without being sappy, and funny without being jokey and gag-based. Funny how a series handling death can be so delightful. Episode 5 was the first to make me cry, though not because... More »

Flowers For My Life: Episode 4

Hana and Ho Sang began warming up to each other in the last episode, but now we start seeing them starting to fall for each other more. In true Hana style, she handles it hilariously. Someone told me they had a good friend just like Hana, and I can only wish I had one too.... More »
