BV tends to err on the side of the predictable, but it’s an enjoyable watch, nonetheless. Que l’amour est beau! As always, many thanks to Luv for lending her screencaps.

Have tried to make the recap more coherent instead of jumping from scene to scene, as is my wont. Screencaps credit to Luv. KMM, the consummate conductor.

Omg so tired. At what point does a midterm stop being a midterm? (And how is it a midterm if I have 3 in one term??) I know that what they’re doing onscreen isn’t what it actually looks like, and many times it’s even off sync, but I think you might want to cut them... More »

I expected it to be slightly more ominous and serious, but it’s really quite full of slapstick – mainly due to Lee Jia’s rather comic portrayals. It’s certainly dramatic, just not quite in the direction I was expecting… Also, many thanks to Luv for allowing me to mooch off her screencaps. Again. As you can... More »
