Dimpled Goddesses: Korean Actresses with Lovely Dimples

Dimpled Goddess: Korean Actress with Lovely Dimples The greeks and the romans have been writing poems about women blessed by the deities with a perfect imperfection called gelasin – that indentation that appears in the cheek when someone smiles. And if the ancient poets are still alive today they would probably croon about these Korean…

My Roommate is a Gumiho | Series Review

Another fun and unbothered drama had ended! I honestly enjoyed watching this fantasy series – not just because of the leads, but also it’s just light! If you’re looking for a fantasy drama that’s full of quirks and will not make you think deeply about anything at all, this is the one for you. No…

Start-Up | Series Review

This is one of the few nice surprises of 2020. Pitch Deck (a presentation that covers all aspects of your business in a succinct and exciting way) Start-Up’s story introduction was similar to that of a “pitch deck.” It’s so effective that the characters each gained committed and passionate “investors.” Who wouldn’t, tbh? The “point…

K-Drama Reaction: Familiar Wife | Episode 11

One thing I realized while watching this episode was that there was the love of Joo-hyuk (Ji Sung) for Hye-won (Kang Hanna) had no strong foundation. He had no memories with Hye-won; he doesn't even remember their own wedding. All his memories consisted of Woo-jin and their kids. Hye-won was a mere image in his…

K-Drama Reaction: Familiar Wife | Episode 10

So let's talk about how this episode explained that Joo-hyuk (Ji Sung) and Woo-jin (Han Ji-min) are really fated to love each other no matter where on earth's timeline they may live. We started the episode with Joo-hyuk and Hye-won's (Kang Hanna) marriage starting to crumble. It's partly Joo-hyuk's fault for being indifferent to his…

K-Drama Reaction: Familiar Wife | Episode 9

I don't know if it's just me or there are also other people out there who are still supportive of Joo-hyuk (Ji Sung) despite everything that's been happening with him right now. I know it's easy to take sides in this drama, especially when you empathize with Woo-jin (Han Ji-min), and I get where the…

K-Drama Reaction: Familiar Wife | Episode 8

Making the wrong decision is still fate. In this episode, Joo-hyuk (Ji Sung) learned the hard way of facing the consequences of one's actions. After witnessing the supposed "kiss" (it didn't happen) between Jong-hoo (Jang Seung-jo) and Woo-jin (Han Ji-min), he lost his cool and desperately searched everywhere for the homeless man who "helped" him…

K-Drama Reaction: Familiar Wife | Episode 7

"There is no correct answer in love." I like this newfound friendship between Woo-jin (Han Ji-min) and Joo-eun (Park Hee-bon) in this alternate timeline. We all know they were not really friends in their original lives as the real Woo-jin was aloof towards the real Joo-eun. Or maybe because Woo-jin was just too stressed out…

K-Drama Reaction: Familiar Wife | Episode 3

This entire episode focused on how Joo-hyuk (Ji Sung) managed to drastically change his life after that trip with the time machine. He now lives an affluent life with his new wife, Hye-won (Kang Hanna). Not only that, Hye-won is apparently the only daughter of a rich corporate chairman, which makes her a chaebol heiress!…
