A K-Drama Blog for One: A Short Introduction


Hello--and welcome to "The BumbleRabbit Archives," a blog that acts as a digital record of my letters to Erin about my experience (at her prompting) diving into the world of K-dramas. 

All posts appear as they did in physical letter form, sometimes embarrassingly so, and are presented both entirely without context and with the intention of only ever being read by one person.

I've made worse mistakes.

Letter #151: Coffee Prince

Image
Good morning, Erin. Happy Valentine’s Day! …by which I mean this was supposed to be my Valentine’s gift to you, were it not for the…um, exciting start to February mucking up my carefully-planned schedule for 2025.  But—alas!—it was not meant to be, as is the case with so many of my plans. And, galled though I am that it has even indirectly affected you, there is nothing to be done about it.  …except repackage it as your birthday gift HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEONBAE!!!   And what better way to celebrate than with another one of your actual recommendations: Coffee Prince . Which, though I knew it was an older show, I was shocked to see was from 2007. And then twice as shocked when I saw who was in it— but back in 2007 . Time’s a funny thing, Erin. But, hey, you’ve got cake to eat and…uh, discotheques to go to maybe? Whatever—point is, you don’t need me preambling away forever when you’ve got things to do on your big day. (Or maybe you don’t. Maybe you’re looking forward to a real...

Letter #19: A Business Proposal

  Good afternoon, Erin.    When I graduated from college, my friend and I drove down to Florida and, as we went, kept a detailed travelogue of the whole trip. Y’know, how long it took to get from one state to the next, which CDs we listened to (and whose turn it was to pick), where we stopped for meals, the price of gas, all the different license plates—that sort of thing. Straightforward stuff, like taking minutes at a meeting.   The thing is...amidst the standard fare of mileage and time stamps, I ran a little narrative thread my friend didn't know about: after spotting some trees cordoned off behind a fence along a certain stretch of highway, I started weaving in my plans to raise an army of trees to march back and liberate them on the trip home. And I kept referencing this throughout the whole of the rest of the travelogue: “Leaving Georgia. Palm trees lining the road past the ‘Welcome to Florida’ sign. Do not look like warrior trees—will not...

Letter #152: Vincenzo Re-Watch

Good morning, Erin. Fate intervenes at the strangest times.  …is a really overblown way of saying I suddenly felt like rewatching Vincenzo . Admittedly, it’s been a while since I jumped into it, so I can’t quite remember why I started—but the important thing is that I did it, that this is undoubtedly THE show you would want me to revisit, and that I don’t have nearly as many notes as I did last time! “...which means this letter will be twice as long as the first one?” I hear you say. To which I give a wry smile, because you know me so well. But also…no, it’ll be shorter. Promise. I mean, I haven’t started writing it, yet, but preamble-Daryl promises. With great sincerity. So, shall we see if my #1 K-drama has lasted the test of time or if we need to become the devil that will chase it out of the top spot? 1. Well, to cut to the chase, I still f***ing love this show. It’s still hilarious, I still love the characters (some more so, actually), and it still seems like this show was d...
