Yumi’s Cells: The Unexpected Delight

After a lull period of so-so Kdramas, I knew the tsunami of good ones was just around the corner. However, Yumi’s Cells was not on my list of MUST SEE drama. Goblin was ok, but seeing Kim Go Eun in The King: Eternal Monarch, my hopes were – well, not even on any scale. So it was on that fateful Saturday night when I just checked in to Episode 1 of Yumi’s Cells (I didn’t know Shinee Minho was…

Ashin of the North

Anyeonghaseyo yarobun! How have you all been this past weeks? Miss Corona is definitely a permanent resident in the NOW Normal – and despite living through the second year of her reign, I still find myself adjusting a few aspects of my everyday life especially when working from home.That is why making time to appreciate KDramas after work hours is such compulsory balm for my soul. Hope you’ve…

My Roommate is a Gumiho: My mid-week saviour

Truth be told, Jang Ki Yong is an enigma to me. With visual striking looks, he can pretty much stand out in a sea of equally stunning male models. As for his acting abilities – well, let’s just say he’s still a work-in-progress. So with almost zero expectations, I tuned in to the premiere of My Roommate is a Gumiho where he plays the male lead, Shin Woo-Yeo, a 999 year-old nine-tailed fox, a…

Drop That Beat: Daniel Caesar (Feat. H.E.R) – Best Part (Cover)

YAROBUN!! I FOUND HER! The first time I saw her was on KPop Star. She’s Lee Sung Eun, Korean American who won a spot for the “live auditions” in Seoul. Her wide-eyed excitement of just being in the high-stakes talent-spotting process was so refreshing to see. She was inspired by Sam Kim’s journey from the previous KPop Star season. With that singular thought of “if he can do it, so can I,” she…

Drop That Beat: RAIN(비) – “나로 바꾸자 Switch to me (duet with JYP)

Anyeong Yarobuuuunnn!! Wishing you all a Joy-filled, Adventure-laden, and Consistently-Healthy New Year! 2020 was more of a Twilight Zone for me. Nevertheless, we shall look forward to fresh beginnings of sorts in 2021 🙂 JYP has been instrumental in Rain’s phenomenal entry into the Entertainment industry, and seeing this collaboration between them is simply delightful. Mind you, JYP is double…

Drop That Beat: 이하이 (LeeHi) – The Christmas Medley

JOYFUL CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE! #stayindoors #staysafe #healthandsafetyaboveallelse

Kairos: Underrated Champ of Time Travel Genre

Truth be told, I had to look up the meaning of Kairos – it sounded like a page from my Mythology 101 class. So according to Wikipedia, Kairos is an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment.In other words, the central plot of this drama was about precisely that: opportunities taken and choices made. After a few time-travel bombs…

The Uncanny Counter: Big Surprise Hit

Anyeong yarobun! If you have not stumbled upon this rabbit hole with astonishing grabbage-factor, you’re missing out BIG TIME. It has hit its half-way mark and talks are already underway for a possible second season 😯 If that is NOT an indication of a drama’s super bulldozer power, let’s have a virtual chat over a cuppa.

The Road Less Travelled…

It happened once, quite some time ago, when there was an actual draught in a stable of good KDrama pickings. That moment took me to an epic, mega-bingeing of a CDrama blockbuster called Ten Miles of Peach Blossom. Hence my introduction to Mark Chao – NI HAO ❤ 😉

This of course brought out the investigative instincts within and by late evening, I knew Mark’s history from when…
