The Cat Returns

Posted on June 15, 2026

Welcome to another weekly review where cats walk on two legs and teenage girls are cat whisperers. For this week, I decided to go back in time and rewatch The Cat Returns. As it happens, it’s been on my mind to do a Ghibli marathon, but I thought better of it, as it’s been done […]

Happy New Year! And to my Indian patrons, Jai Hind! Welcome to another review of the week and the first of the year. The film up for review is none other than Laapataa Ladies!

Mal-Mo-E: The Secret Mission

Posted on June 15, 2026

What hasn’t been said about the historic piece Mal-Mo-E: The Secret Mission? It is a work of cinematic beauty. A masterpiece. Is it divisive?

Flower Boy Ramen Shop

I’ve come full circle with this drama, Flower Boy Ramen Shop. Like my introduction to K-pop, my love affair with K-dramas began in high school, and Flower Boy Ramen Shop was the one that popped my cherry, so to speak. Maybe this speaks to my immaturity, but many of the issues went over my head […]

Because This Is My First Life

Posted on June 15, 2026

I’m a sucker for a good love story, but this one felt like it was determined to get to the 16th episode at a snail’s pace. Don’t get me wrong, Because This Is My First Life was chef’s kiss. Well-rounded characters, a great plot, and a satisfying ending; however, I was quickly turned off by […]

It’s a Good Day to Be a Dog

Posted on June 15, 2026

On my journey from zero to fluent in Korean, It’s a Good Day to Be a Dog and two other dramas have been on constant replay for a good minute now. So much so that it’s gone from being more than just a litmus test to my go-to drama whenever I’m in my feelings. I […]
