love is all you

Love has eyes as blue as the ocean Ones that turn a shade lighter  Against the sunlight   Love has soft brown hair  Ones that I love to twirl mindlessly when we’re reading  And he didn’t mind a single bit  Love is kind,  for he always brings an umbrella  wherever we go, so that I don’t need to for always saving me the last piece of pizza  even when I know he could have another Love is patient,  for always waiting,  no matter how long I took to get ready  *laughs*    Love has a thing for piano  He has this look whenever he plays  One that makes me wonder  How did I ever... Then he looks at me  As if to stop my train of thoughts  While his fingers delicately dance across the keys At that moment  It felt like the world was just us  Like we were meant to be  At the end of every day,  Love is you The one that I trust with all my secrets  The one that wipes all my tears  The one that I can always count on  The one who gives me forehead kisses The one I’ll always choose,  Through the sunny an

Guns, Glory and Sad Ending

To summarize this K-drama in 10 words or less, it'll be -  Captivating narrative, top class cinematography, and best line-up of soundtrack . A highly recommended drama for those who are into traditional drama back in the Joseon era. This is the least that you can expect from the writer Kim Eun-Sook and director Lee Eung-Bok's third collaboration together as of 2018. Their previous works were 2016's all hit drama - Descendants of the Sun and Goblin. While keeping in mind that this is entirely fictional, it is still a good series to watch regardless of whether you are well versed in the Korean culture or history where Korea gained independence in 1945 after being under Japanese rule fr 35 years. This series could be a chance to educate people of the history that they weren't aware of or forgotten about.  For those who aren't familiar, just take it as a drama that focuses on the relationship and sacrifices made namely by the Rightous Army and many others who were willi

Everything (I Love) About Hospital Playlist

Image
Anyeonghasaeyo everybodyyy - this is me on days when I had too much coffee (which is clearly today). In this modern life, it's hard for me to go on a day with a cuppa. Speaking of coffee, I thought this drink would be essential  especially  for the roles of the characters that I am about to share with you - doctors who works tirelessly and always busy saving people. Anyone else dreamed of being a doctor when you're younger?  While I'm not sure why the English title of this drama is called Hospital Playlist but the korean title actually translates to 슬기로운 의사생활 (pronounced as Seulgiroun Euisasaenghal) that I would rephrase it as  The Lives of Wise Doctors  (or commonly known as Wise Doctor Life). Rating : 8.7 (never knew medical drama and doctors singing in a band would be my cup of tea)  Genre : Medical drama Synopsis From the creators of Reply 1997, Reply 1994 and Reply 1988, this drama talks about the lives of doctors and nurses at Yulje Medical Cent

Two Seconds

It was a hunch, that took two seconds. I thought I saw you, A little different from what I remember, But it felt like this was it. I doubted myself, Thinking that it might just be you, Just when I least expect it. The two seconds felt like a lifetime, The moment your eyes locked on mine. For two seconds, I was caught off guard, For thinking that this is how we would see each other again. When the time was up, I broke the connection and returned to my phone. While ‘you’ head the other direction. There and then I thought – silly me For thinking that either of us would’ve done something, Given that it’s been three long years since we last saw each other. As if anything would happen in the first place. Two seconds was all it took – For that thought to vanish, and we return to being strangers again, Walking our own separate paths. Even though it wasn’t you A sudden thought came to my mind – Why is it that I feel this way, Is this some kind of affect

Let's Talk About The Rose

Seeing the stats for K-pop related content are better than those of K-drama, I've decided to write about another favourite yet underrated band of mine - The Rose. Good bands are hard to come by since the good old CNBlue and FT Island days back then, but Day6 and The Rose are the exception for me.  This has been a little secret among the Black Rose (fandom) because this is the kind of group makes you want to keep it to yourself but at the same time you can't, knowing that they deserve way better recognition for what they have accomplished.  It's just a little sad to see the issue that they are currently facing with their agency. Back in February, The Rose requested termination of contract with their agency after apparently not being paid for the past 3 years despite the busy schedule they had.  (Source:  https://www.soompi.com/article/1385551wpp/the-rose-requests-termination-of-contact-with-agency-j-star-company-responds ) Since then, things got a little quiet and no one kn

All About The King: Eternal Monarch

The highly anticipated drama of the summer is finally coming to its finale this week! Are you excited to finally learn about the ending? For me, I might just feel a little sad after this weekend, knowing that I can no longer look forward to seeing Lee Min-Ho and Woo Do-Hwan's visuals *cries a bucket of tears*   As this is Lee Min-Ho's first project since his return from the military service, it's no surprise that fans are excited to see him on screen again and this time partnering with Kim Go-Eun, the female lead from Guardian: The Lonely and Great God. As if that didn't set the expectations high enough, the writer of this fantasy drama is none other than renowned Kim Eun-Sook who wrote Descendants of the Sun, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God and the Heirs (a 2013 hit drama starring Lee Min-Ho).  Let me give you another reason to watch this drama - just look at the visuals and admire the beauty of this poster.
