Good morning, Erin. …hm? Oh! Sorry, I didn’t see you there. I was too busy watching this old video of So-e performing “Popular” from the Broadway musical Wicked . For the 15th time. Like a totally normal person.  [ cough ] L-Let’s talk about See You in My 19th Life ! 1. This show had a lot to live up to, given that you felt so strongly that I needed to start it right away that you left me a message on here to make sure I did. And, if I didn’t hint at this enough in my previous letters, it pretty much did. I really, really liked this series, and, at the end, I even watched it before starting the latest episode of Heart Signal 4 . (Which you know is quite the compliment.) It didn’t make it into my Top Ten, but it’s probably swimming close to the Top Twenty.  2. And we’re going to jump right into the list of folks I recognized: Luna from The Silent Sea/ the daughter from Kill Boksoon as Ju-won (18th life) the little girl twin from The Good Bad Mother as little-girl Cho-won (t...

Good morning, Erin. So, being in the middle of (I think) four separate series that are several weeks from completing, I thought a nice, quick, five-hour jaunt into some high school social class nonsense might be a good distraction as we wait for the next big thing to end. …plus, if I’m watching this, I’m not starting Nineteen to Twenty , which is getting increasingly harder and harder to stop myself from doing. Now, as ever, this being a show I don’t think you’ve seen means I won’t be getting into spoilers or big plot details—and it also means I am probably going to hide a big personal secret or two in the middle of the letter because there’s a chance you’re not going to read it.  Which, in this case, could mean this letter will mostly be big personal secrets, because there ain’t a lot to go over about this amateurish first draft of a series.  So, um, B**** x Rich . I guess. 1. Really, the only reason I thought about giving this show a shot (before looking for something quick ...

Good morning, Erin. So, good news—Netflix lied to me: 19 th Life is absolutely on twice a week. And thank heavens for that.  Also: I have alleviated some of the stress of waiting for the new episode of Heart Signal 4 by waiting for the new episode of Rent-a-Girlfriend and stressing over that. Also also: before allocating some of my stress-waiting to Rent-a-Girlfriend , I fought off the desire to rewatch the previous episodes of Heart Signal 4 as a means of alleviating some of my stress-waiting for the next new episode, which means, instead, I finished watching What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? …which I want to take a moment to appreciate as a wonderful moment of synchronicity between the two of us—because I totally planned on doing a surprise Park Min-young trilogy for Phase III, and you beat me to it! Though, really, at this point, I don’t know why I should be surprised that you know me better than I do.  So…shall we find out What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? 1. The first ...
