Little Things

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 n...

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...

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...

As we venture into the second half of 2020, I've compiled the summer edition of the list of K-dramas to look forward to that is set to premiere from June until August - just about the same time as we are now in the phase of  'Recovering Movement Control Order (RMCO) in Malaysia.  I hope these dramas will keep you company and entertained as we all brace through this difficult time. It's not over until it's over, guys so stay safe and healthy! Without further ado, let's dive in!  Summer Edition: K-Drama Dinner Mate (저녁 같이 드실래요?)

After their fateful encounter in Jeju, a love-...

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. The effort to even create the gradient of the background i...

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. What matters more is to keep in mind that we will make it through this.  At the same time, I've just realized something as we enter the third month of writing. All this while I've been talking about Korean dramas yet I didn't mention anything about their amazingly curated soundtracks or OST that comes with each drama. These beautiful music not only pleases the ears but it also helps in stirring up the emotions at just the perfect timing.  The classic one is the cue when the main leads first met or walked past each other in slow-mo effect. You just can't hate such moments like this in the K-drama world. A...
