Recap of Twenty Again 10: Just How Have You Been Living Your Life?

Misunderstandings. Competition. Revelations. All are themes of this episode. The misunderstandings continue between Cha Hyun Suk and Ha No Ra, specifically anything having to do with her rotten cheating husband. The competition heats up between suitor and spouse, both literally and figuratively. And some revelations finally start being revealed, though, maybe not as many as we would like.

Twenty Again Episode 9 - A Series of Unfortunate "If Only's"


This episode made me think of how it would sometimes be convenient if we could look back in time and see how all our choices are going to turn out.  Kind of a "If only" time capsule of No Ra's life, you could say.

Yong Pal Episode 15 - Signs Your Wife Might Be Psychopathic Crocodile

The crocodile analogy continues as Yeo Jin chomps away at any competition to her power and position.  But what happens when you are a rich, emotional, and a paranoid crocodile?  If you guessed that you become swayed by outside forces (namely Tae Hyeon and Evil Secretary) then you would be correct.  So lets chat revenge and how Tae Hyeon should run, not walk, away from his doomed marriage

Yong Pal Episode 14 - Demons & Angels


Episode 14 was a hard one to start because I had heard rumors of where the writers were taking the story and, personally, I was not a huge fan.  However after viewing it for myself, I have come to certain conclusions about the characters and my feelings towards them, their romances, and their outlooks on life.  Pretty much we have a collision of Angels vs Devils and I am not sure if the two can co-exist in each others spheres.

Twenty Again episode 8: Tides Turning All Over the Place

Things really start to turn around in many different facets of our little story here in this episode. Our leading lady is proving to us and those that know her that she is still made of the same tough material that shaped her as a young lady and no stupid cheating husband or grumpy professor former friend is going to hold her back. No sir! Not our Ha No Ra!

Twenty Again Episode 7 - Operation Bi-Polar Man Child

I felt that this was an episode full of individual operations.  For example, No Ra (now that her secret is outed to her family) was firmly in operation mom mode.  Because, sure No Ra might be finding herself, but that doesn't mean she is going to ignore her son (except in public, that is).  Or my personal favorite which is "Operation Get Our OTP Together", which sadly took a huge leap back as Hyeon Seok went into operation bi-polar mode upon realizing that No Ra wasn't dying and was still with her jerk of a husband.  So come join me as I discuss the various goals of our characters and where that leaves us.

Yong Pal Episode 13 - I'm a Crocodile......Hear Me Roar.


With only 5 episodes left (yes they finally decided that the drama will be 18 episodes total) the writers finally decided to let Yeo Jin stand up and became the driving force of her own fate.  And while in theory this is a good thing, in execution, this Ahjumma is left wondering "What the fudge is she doing?"  Let's just say that the final scene left me feeling slightly appalled and hoping that what I think happened, didn't really happen.  But before we get to that, let's chat about how Yeo Jin the crocodile came to be.

Twenty Again Episode 5 - Kmuse Gets a Case of the Awwws


I'm back and counting down my favorite Awww moments of episode 5.  Because what else are you going to say when you have a dorky hottie, romancing (but not romancing), the terminally ill woman of his dreams.

Yong Pal Episode 12 - Sometimes a Haircut is Just a Haircut........Except When its Not.

The "I'm not dead" secret is out of the bag and it leaves this Ahjumma questioning on whether I am liking where the story line is going.  Sure the story as a whole is still working, but it is the little plot holes that leave me confused as to where my feelings lie.  If nothing else we have a sassy new hairstyle to chat about. So let's discuss episode 12 and maybe I will be able to work out some of my frustration through prose.

Yong Pal Episode 11 - Yeo Jin Gets Proactive (and I am not talking about the pimple cream)

Finally Yeo Jin is becoming the kind of heroine I always hoped she would be.  Not a pretty lamb but the crocodile that she once claimed she was. Yeo Jin puts her plans into motion to not only save Tae Hyuen but also to take down her psychotic brother.  I think it is safe to say that this episode was Yeo Jin's time to shine.

Yong Pal Episode 10 - Time for A Top 5 Countdown: Yong Pal Edition.


Time has run away from me again this week.  Seriously, I don't know where it all goes.  So in order to pop this recap out before the new episode, it is going to be a bit of a mini-cap.  With that in mind I decided to go back to an old format of mine and type up my top 5 favorite moments/concepts of the episode.  It could really be anything from Kim Tae Hee's gorgeous hair, to Joo Won's dimples. That said, I am hoping I can go a little bit more in depth than just the superficial visuals, but it is good to know that there are fall backs in case the writers decide to skim by with a weak plot.

Twenty Again ep 4: Congratulations, You Have a Stalker

Stalker, old friend, professor, knight in shining armor, or guardian angel - however you want to look at it, the title would fit. But whatever you call him, make sure you include things like "gorgeous" or "hella hot" in the description. Gorgeous stalker. Hella hot old friend. Professor Yummy. Beautiful knight in shining armor. Handsome guardian angel. You get the gist. Whatever his official role in your eyes, we spend a lot of time with a watching and helpful Professor Cha in this episode.

Twenty Again Episode 3 - Just Give An Ahjumma a Break Already

I will freely admit that I am having crushes on several characters from this show (not hard to guess who).  No Ra and Hyeon Seok are equal parts relatable and absolute quirky, which is the perfect combo for a fish out of water drama.  And I consider both of them as being the proverbial fish.  No Ra of course is the ahjumma in a sea of twenty year olds, while Hyeon Seok is newbie on having romantic feelings.

Yong Pal Episode 9 - Tilting at Windmills


It is sad when an episode takes you 2.5 days to get through.  Some of the blame can be on my kids  since they have run me ragged in back to school errands, but most of the blame can be directed towards the episode itself.  That is not to say that it was horrible, just a little bit vanilla and not very Yong Palish.  But all is not lost since at least we got to see some awesome windmills windmilling.......oh and a kiss ........... but mostly, I am impressed with the scenic windmills.

Yong Pal Episode 8 - Yong Pal Gets A Case of the Mopes.

Episode 8 was all about tying up loose ends in regards to the first 1/3 of the drama.  Our OTP finally makes it out of the hospital of death.  Our hero saves his sister (at least in theory) and the new alliance of Greedy Ahjussi and Do Joon is in full bloom.  But now what?  That is the question that causes Yeo Jin to turn into the mega moper and about made me want to write her off.

Twenty Again Episode 1 - Newly Single And Ready to Mingle........Or Not.

Characters were introduced and I instantly loved some and hated others.  There is obviously not going to be any in between for me with this drama and I feel that there will be a ton of ranting on my part on behalf of our slightly sweet doormat Ahjumma, Ha No Ra.  The heroine that is finding herself after going through a divorce and receiving some startling information (more on that later).  But no worries, The Crazy Ahjummas are here to work through the subtext and tell you what really needs to be said (in meme form of course).  So come join us as we jump into all things Ahjumma (AHJUMMAS UNITE!  WOOT!) and recap episode 1.

Yong Pal Episode 7 - Comas are the New Black

It's time to face the aftermath of THUGageddon and heal everyone's wounds, both financially and physically.  New unions are made and old are solidified as we all take a breath and rest (Tae Hyun literally.....but more on that later). 

Oh My Ghostess FINALE (ep16): OH MY GHOST - WHAT A DRAMA!

Dear Kdrama gods, I thank you for the wonderful gift that was this drama. As it comes to an end, I feel a mix of emotions from elation to despair. Such a beautiful ending but I'm so sad to see it go. I laughed, I cried, I had butterflies dancing a jig. It was pretty much as near perfect as a drama, and drama ending, can get.

Yong Pal Episode 6 - A Girl, A Boy, and 10,000 Thugs

Here's a thug, there's a thug, everywhere stands a thug thug.  That is kind of how I felt while watching this episode, as our OTP (One True Pairing) must overcome the trial of the thug to escape the hospital alive.  Thankfully all the thugs and their owners are at cross purposes and there is a chance that Yong Pal can wiggle through to safety.  Or is there?

Yong Pal Episode 5 - A Full Serving of Money With A Side of Crazy

Our OTP (one true pairing) finally connect on a verbal level!  Never have I been so happy to see someone wake up.  Now they just have to use each other to not only save the ones they love, but in the case of our sleeping beauty, to survive.  Because the clock is counting down for both our leads and the only way they can win is to work together.
