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...
Can you believe that we're already halfway through the year 2020? I suppose the 'new decade, new me' didn't turn out as what we expected isn't it? Well that's kinda how life is - the unexpected roller coaster ride where you are strapped on without knowing when is the next 'high' or 'low'. It's okay, don't beat yourself up.

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.
