Quick life updates: I have lost count on how many weeks I've been spending at home. In the past 3 months, I've been working at home and adjusting to this "new normal" situation. While I still enjoy and pretty much on board with the idea of staying at home for months, part of me also feels somewhat stuffed and emotionally saturated. Repeating the same routine every day, having online meetings, and trying to get the work done at home are definitely challenging, but I'm still thankful for every new day I wake up. So, yeah. That's pretty much sums up my quarantine situation.

To keep me sane without any chance of going out, obviously, I've been constantly watching K-dramas, mainly on Netflix, and have finished more drama than ever.

So without further ado, this is the lineup and quick review of dramas I've been enjoying lately:

Hi Bye, Mama! (하이바이, 마마!)

Hi Bye, Mama!

I first found out about this drama because this is what every news portal were covering: Kim Tae-hee's comeback drama after she starts a family. But what makes me decide to give it a shot is its unique premise about a dead mother who came back to life and has to face her husband and her daughter, not to mention that her husband already remarried. I ended up sobbing in 14 out of 16 episodes because this is so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I love it so much I actually have written a dedicated blog post about this. "Hi Bye, Mama!" will definitely in my Top 10 K-dramas of all the time ♥️

Itaewon Class (이태원 클라쓰)

Everyone on my Instagram literally posted about this. At first, I thought this will be another overrated drama which I usually won't like (pardon the snobby me for being picky which often not liking what everyone likes -- i.e Goblin or What's Wrong with Secretary Kim). BUT oh but, I was actually hooked and ended up finishing it in less than a week! (and yes, I purposely waited for it to end before start watching it).

Firstly, there's Park Seo-joon (and Kim Da-mi!!). Secondly, this is not a romantic comedy. It involves revenge, business, and financial tips (?), and has a good moral story about a young guy who's determined to make his dream comes true. What a motivating story for a millennial girl like me. Thirdly, I really appreciate the writer and the staff for bringing up several topics that are probably still viewed as negative or taboo in Korea: black people, transgender, sociopath, and ex-convict.

I think the plot unfolds a little bit too slow with a predictable ending, but overall it's still enjoyable to watch because of its diverse focus on each character. In the end, I can't help but keep clicking the next episode button to see their progress and what awaits them. So, thumbs up for Itaewon Class!

The World of the Married (부부의 세계)

THIS. also appears literally everywhere and I eventually gave in to what society dictates me to watch HAHA but I'm not complaining since this. is. gold. 

Melodrama is often draining me mentally because I'm just too overwhelmed to enjoy all the dramatic plot, expressions, and the suspense. But again, I guess this all depends on the plot, and this intense drama about a long and complicated relationship between Ji Sun-woo and Lee Tae-oh is definitely won a place in my top k-drama! Before this, the only Korean drama about cheating I have seen is "My Wife's Having an Affair This Week", which I have written about here, but this is obviously nowhere near TWOTM due to its comedic side.

The similarity? Both had me thinking about this possibility of cheating and put me in a realization that one day I might be the one in this position and that's why I should have become independent enough to support myself. The funny thing, this drama is also featured as the main topic in several famous Instagram accounts, mainly because of its moral story about marriage and finance. This just proves that you can learn some good things from this drama.

Hospital Playlist (슬기로운 의사생활)

My keyword for this drama is "Friendship Goals". Seriously, this drama has successfully shattered my personal beliefs that "I don't need friendship goals because mine is already perfect" 😂 

I know that this is from the same director from the Reply series, but I never watch any of Reply drama, so I actually have zero expectation about how this drama will turn out. But I'm glad I started because I'm liking it!

I love how these 5 doctors have such a mature and healthy relationship. They support each other and have this admirable bond, without any sign of jealousy or any visible distance whenever one of them has a new partner, or even when some of them hang out together without the other's presence. This may sound simple and obvious since they're all adults (like..."what do you expect, duh?!"), but since I have witnessed some friendship dramas in real life, I can't help but notice this first.

Some of the side stories are just too sad for me, which resulting in me crying every time there's a scene involving a patient's death or any medical complication appears. Still loving it though because overall, I think this is a good, light, and heartwarming drama to watch. I guess after this I'll try to see the Reply series.

Mystic Pop-up Bar (쌍갑포차)

Mystic Pop Up Bar Review
Image: Hancinema

Just for your information: "She was Pretty" currently placed as my #1 k-drama of all time and of course I will watch Hwang Jung-eum's NEW DRAMA! especially when it's produced by Netflix! and it also has Yook Seung-jae in it!

I'm so excited when the news first came out until the very moment I watch the last episode. This drama deserves more than 12 episodes (yes, it only has 12 episodes which is not fair 😭). The only thing that's a bit disappointing about this drama is its final episode. In the last episode, I get the impression that the story is somewhat rushed and the scenes are a little bit... messy (?) It jumps from one thing to another thing too quickly and the transition is not that smooth. The story itself is so much predictable with only one particular line spoken by Weol-ju. But despite that, I'm still very much liking this drama and recommend this for you who are looking for some fresh and unique Korean drama!

That's all! I have watched (and re-watched) some other dramas, but too bad I just don't like it enough to write a post about it HAHA So, these are all my recommendations if you're looking for Korean dramas to watch.

Will post some more about Korean variety show because I've been hooked to some variety/reality shows. Stay tuneddddd!
It's only been 2 weeks from the final episode of "Crash Landing on You" and honestly I haven't fully moved on from its story until last week, I watched "Hi Bye, Mama", and I can say that this completely steals the spot from its predecessors!

This is the first drama where Kim Tae-hee starred in the last 5 years. You must have known her as the goddess in Korean entertainment because of her perfect visual, and this is her comeback drama after she married Rain & gave birth to 2 beautiful kids. Come on guys, this is KIM TAE-HEE!

Image: instagram @_angel_elijah_


The story is about Cha Yu-ri (played by Kim Tae-hee), a mother of 1 who had a car accident during her pregnancy which resulting in her death. Thankfully, her daughter (Jo Seo-woo) was born healthily. On the same day of her death.

After that, she's been watching her daughter closely for 5 years as a ghost. She's been witnessing all her little milestones, including when she learned to speak, to walk, started pre-school, and even knowing that her husband, Jo Gang-hwa (played by Lee Kyu-hyung), remarried with Oh Min-jeong (played by Go Bo-gyeol). Can you imagine how heartbreaking it is to watch your kid grow up with another woman as her (step)mom figure and you don't get to touch or even let her know how much you love her? 😭

(The premise itself already got me bawling but don't cry now, save your tears for the real deal)

What makes it more interesting is when Cha Yu-ri regained her human self (?) in exchange of a mission, and if she can accomplish that mission in 49 days, she can be a human forever. BUT not only exciting, this also become more complicated as she accidentally exposed herself to her husband and close friends, Shin Dong-mi and Gye Geun-sang (played by Go Hyun-jung and Oh Eui-sik).

Image: instagram @_angel_elijah_

Okay, that's the rough plot. Only 4 episodes have aired so far and I have hooked already. Why? Because it offers a different perspective of love from its predecessor, "Crash Landing on You", which is motherly/family love. It's not only revolved in Yu-ri's love for her child, but also highlight how Yu-ri's mom hurt by the loss of her daughter, how Yu-ri's sister been missing her the one and only sibling, and even how Yu-ri empathizes with the kid ghost who doesn't seem to understand that he has to leave his mom.

Every trailer released for this drama doesn't do any justice because they somewhat only presents the comedic angle to viewers. Think this clip fits better to represent the whole vibes and feels.



As the story unveils, I probably will update this post with more excitement. Stay tuned for crazier fangirl moment! hehe



Updates 19 April 2020

"Hi Bye, Mama!" airs its final episode today, 19th April 2020 and I just finished it an hour ago. I cried so hard until my chest is going to burst and my head aches. a lot. 

After following Cha Yu-ri's journey until the end of her judgement period, viewers can see her character becoming more mature. Aside from its heartbreaking premise to begin with, I also realize that there's so much more in this drama that makes me too attached and willing to invest emotionally, and while the emotion is still raw, here's the what I love about this drama:

Excellent Cinematography
Once I read someone's comment on YouTube regarding the cinematography of a movie but I actually never really understand because I thought it all looked the same. ("they are all pros ok who r u to judge netizen?!")

Image: Hancinema


BUT things have changed, especially while watching this drama, I can easily notice that all scenes are beautifully shot and edited (?) (is that even a thing "beautifully edited" haha) along with...

The Well-written Script
The story progressed smoothly. It's not the most fast-paced K-drama, but it's also not the slowest up to the point you can't bring yourself to finish 1 episode. It's just the right pace (?) They also add the right amount of side story, without totally keep Cha Yu-ri and Jo Gang-hwa out of the focus. Every character's story, even the most minor ones, is somewhat related to Yu-ri and her journey (for instance, the main story in episode 8 -- saddest episode in my personal opinion. I have warned you!)

Talking about the story, you can easily find the synopsis (or even a spoiler) on Google, but let me remind you that it only covers the surface. There's so much more in the drama itself. You will be brought into a roller coaster of emotion for the entire time. You can feel the strong motherly bond between Yu-ri and her mom. You can feel the loneliness of Oh Min-jeong. You can feel the desperation of a dead mom wanting to protect and interact with her kid. You can see how heartbroken her (ex) husband is because of the wound left by that unfortunate incident, even after 5 years and remarried (poor Gang-hwa), all thanks to...

The Best Cast and Their Top Notch Acting
Kim Tae-hee, no need to explain further. But Lee Kyu-hyung and Go Bo-gyeol's acting also deserve the praise! This drama is so emotionally draining and their acting is something to be given a credit for. If not because of their skills to precisely show the emotion, I'm not sure if I can cry in 14 out of 16 episodes.

Sumber: Hancinema


Lastly, let's not forget our little Seo-woo (played by child actor Seo Woo-jin, and YUP you read it right, Seo-woo is played by a little boy who resembles Kim Tae-hee A. LOT!). She's like the center of this drama because everything revolves around her. Thanks to this cutie pie, we get to understand Cha Yu-ri's love for her daughter better.

There is really no villain here. No one deserves the pain, yet everyone is hurting. This is really a good drama where you can actually learn something from it - love for your parents, your kid, your spouse, and even your beloved friends. You get to explore every kind of love for every relationship in a deeper way. And the most important thing is we will realize how death is actually closer than anything else. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, yet we're all living recklessly like we're sure that we'll still alive tomorrow (a bit dark, eh?).

That's all I can say about this drama. Hope you watch and like it as much as I do because this drama and the cast really deserves more popularity ❤️<3 p="">




I'm coming back with another korean drama post! Finally after a long wait, a drama that's really worth your time is here.

Regarding the statement, I know as a k-drama lover, any kind of korean drama with your favorite oppa(s) is always worth your time. But let's be honest here. You do feel a little guilt while watching your oppa instead of being productive doing your job, don't you? Or at least that's what I've been feeling lately. I always consciously try to shift my attention out of my responsibility, and watching drama is one of my guilty pleasure because it does indeed kill my productivity in a way that I enjoy 😂

Tunnel Kdrama Review
Dark and gloomy (?)  poster for the drama!  Although I must admit it doesn't look interesting and convincing tho.
(image: soompi)

But this one is different I promise. This drama called "Tunnel" is like no other korean drama you have watched.  A complicated storyline, unpredictable twist, and also of course, my favorite oppa (aka Choi Jin-hyuk), it's all in here. Like other drama I have written about, you won't find any cheesy line or cringey-awkward-kissing-scene in this drama. Instead, you will find many scenes that involve a corpse, a body part, the act of strangulation, handsome detective (I'm talking about Choi Jin-hyuk here), and again, a corpse (I'm telling you in advance so you won't be shocked by the visual later--like I did).

So... what is this drama about actually?


"HIT THAT PLAY BUTTON"
(video: dramafever Youtube)

Tunnel is a mystery, crime, and thriller drama. The main character is Park Kwang-ho (played by Choi Jin-hyuk), a detective who lives in year 1986. He was trying to solve a (suspected) serial murder case which shows the same pattern: young women being choked to death with some dot marks on their heels. One day, he was chasing the culprit down the tunnel but unfortunately, he got attacked and became unconscious. Then, he regains his consciousness in year 2016, at the same place, same spot, same tunnel where he was attacked in 1986.

Okay, that's a little bit of the background. Now, I'm writing down a short FAQ to answer the possible questions that popped up in your head while trying my best not to spoil the whole plot:

---POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT---
I don't think I spoil anything here, but please do continue on your own risk. If you don't wish to continue, you can start reading at the next red mark.

How did he go to 2016? Can he go back to 1986?
Of course he can!
But.. how?!
Sssttt.. I'm telling you this one way to know the details: go watch the drama!

How about the case he was working on in 1986? The culprit? The investigation? Is he going to solve the same case in 2016?
Yes, somehow he will (surprisingly) be going after the same culprit and investigate the exact same case from 1986 in 2016.
But how????
He will work with the investigation team obviously, which consists of people who are actually related to him in a very very very surprising way.

Who are this lady and that oppa?!
(image: hancinema)

Who are they?
Sorry I have to stop here. But you can watch the drama if you want to know their identity :D

What happens with his family and friends in 1986 while he's gone to 2016?
This is where the interesting part is. In 1986, Kwang-ho did marry a girl he loves (aaw!) but unfortunately, he has no choice but to leave her in 1986 while he's stranded in 2016. This drama shows both eras (?) simultaneously, which means the people in 1986 know that Kwang-ho is gone but have no clue regarding his whereabouts. And by the time Kwang-ho leaves to 2016, there's something happened to his wife that leads to his fate in 2016..................................................................................

"You want to know more, huh? Please watch Tunnel!!!" - Detective Kwang-ho and detective Sun-jae in 2016
(image: kdramapal)


Trust me when I say I really want to spoil all the details here, but I must not spoil anything so let's just end this short FAQ with one conclusion: please do watch the drama if you wish to figure out the story :D

---YOU MAY COME BACK NOW (PLEASE?)---

Enough with the FAQ! Next I will explain 3 reasons why I love this drama.

#1 It is NOT a rom-com
I love romantic-comedy drama (who doesn't?). But finding a good rom-com drama is so much harder than it looks. Statistically speaking, about 70% out of all 1,784 k-drama falls into rom-com category (p.s I made up the statistic because, why not!), yet, I can only name less than 10 rom-com dramas that are actually good enough to watch and the most importantly, those which won't bore the hell out of you. So, it's good to finally watch a drama that's out of your usual taste. But don't worry, there is also a refreshing comical scene in "Tunnel" (because I bet people don't want to witness a never-ending criminal act for the whole series, right?).

#2 Unpredictable
Have I told you earlier that this drama has an unpredictable twist? It's not that kind of drama where you can guess the finale right after you reach the first half of its pilot episode. There is a lot of twists you can't imagine, when you think it's going to be A then it's actually Z. In short, it's mind = blown. Boom. Also, the storyline is not boring at all and the suspense and + the mysterious plot kinda make your brain stays alert--especially for a coward like me, so you will not only sit there staring blankly at your monitor screen, wondering how many episodes left or deciding whether or not you should finish the drama because you're not sure if you like it or nah (cause this happens to me A. LOT). You will automatically hit the next button and suddenly find yourself on the last episode already :(

#3 Choi Jin-hyuk
Throughout this post, isn't it obvious that I have major crush on this guy? I have been keeping my eyes on him since the Emergency Couple (2014) era and been waiting patiently for his comeback. Now, the time has finally come. Jin-hyuk has discharged from his mandatory military service and coming back through this drama. Can we please take a second to adore his oh-so-perfect smile here?

O.M.G.

So, that's 3 simple reasons why I love this drama. Please keep in mind that I can write for 10 more points but I choose to stop here before I spill everything out and my fan girl side disgusts you :'D All I want to say is... this drama really needs more recognition and popularity because it's different and good and the chemistry between the casts is real and it doesn't bore you at all with its complicated storyline. My one and only advice: be careful with your binge-watching habit because I don't think you can apply them in this drama--especially with many scenes involve strangulation and a sight of dead body.

One of the perks of being last year student in college is busy finishing your thesis while having an internship you have to take. This comparison is probably going to be unfair, as I have only gaining my title as a freelancer 2 weeks ago, while on the other side, having experience as an intern for around 10 months at 2 different tech companies. But I will go anyway!

Internship Life
Both of my internship is done at newly founded startup company. One is 3 year-old company in wedding industry, the other (where I'm currently having my internship at) is an e-commerce company in health industry. I super love my first-ever internship job and was enjoying every second of it! Mainly because I'm so into wedding, and the job itself it's quite challenging for the experienceless noob like me. Both company have different cultures. First is where you can literally wear sleeveless or sweater with sandal and no one would giving you a weird look because it's completely normal to wear casual everyday. Second is where you can only wear formal outfit in particular color every other day but Friday. Plus, no sandals.

What I love the most about my life as intern is I get to try and involve in various job/tasks. Your supervisor could ask you for help beside your main job which is good for learning and adding more experience. I can learn a lot. Not so lots, though, but surely more than I can get in freelance job. Especially when your job fits your passion, you can gain a connection and probably have a chance to become a full-time employee there. The only thing I dislike about internship is when I feel like everyone is underestimating me, especially when there is seniority which creates a huge gap between interns and employees (like I-don't-want-to-eat-on-the-same-table-with-you-because-you-are-not-on-the-same-level-with-me kind of seniority). I can easily become forgotten and invisible there. This kind of seniority doesn't apply in all companies though. Overall, the people is great and friendly but there is a slight chance some people would treat you like that.

How about freelancing?
I guess many people would agree that one of the biggest advantage I can have as freelancer is flexibility. I get to work every time I want, not having to wake up at 7AM and have a typical 9-to-5 job everyday. I also get to work everywhere, not having to go to same place everyday, even I can get my job done in my bedroom while munching on my favorite snacks. What could be better than having a job with minimum rules? Plus, for introvert like me, I super love freelancing because I don't have to meet a lot of people. Yay!

But the cons is... I don't get to meet new people. I know I just said the exact same thing above, but this also could be a cons because I will have lesser connection as a freelancer that I do as an intern. Freelance job also only allows you to do monotonous job, which sometimes makes you bored and start questioning the worth of your job (lol!).

The verdict
I can't decide which one I like the most! While reading the title, I know you were hoping to know the clear verdict, weren't you? But seiously, every job, either freelancing and interning, has its own pros and cons so I couldn't really decide which one works best.

But for you that insist to get a clear result, I would go for freelancing at this time. Simply because now I'm also busy with my thesis and I wish to have more flexibility for a better time management. Internship is still great though, and I never regret to walk my path as an intern.


I know I shouldn't be staying up and should have gone to bed early tonight. But this runny nose, itchy throat, dry and painful cough, plus a 3-hour nap this evening are enough to make me stay still in front of my PC for 3 more episodes, with a glass of warm honey drink as my companion.

Okay, 3 episodes down. Now, time to bed, huh? Nope, my body still refuse. Let me play a song to relax, to calm my brain. Ed Sheeran's Perfect? Nah, doesn't sound good right now. Just play whatever then. Four minutes passed and I'm stuck with Spotify's 30-secs ad. Ugh. Okay time to bed!

But before that, stopping by the kitchen first to take the medicine. Cough syrup? Sure, or my throat would be acting out and interfere with my sleep tonight. Paracetamol pill? Let me do a check. Feeling dizzy? no. Body feeling weird? no. Ache somewhere in your body? no. I'm good then. No more paracetamol tonight. Byee pill!

Next stop: bathroom, to lost in my thought while brushing my teeth. Checking myself in the mirror first. "You look like a mess, especially with that hair you haven't washed--and brushed--in these past 3 days." Thanks for reminding me, brain.

Okay so... should I exfoliate or not exfoliate? I guess not because I already did last night. Night cream? Passed. Don't feel like putting anything on my face tonight.

Finally, touch down to my bed! Snuggling under my blanket and still not sleepy. Okay so.. I will unlock my phone, open the notes, and start writing anything... or scrolling through Instagram until I fall asleep?
Okay, so first....

Happy New Year!



We are four days into 2017 already. Oh My God. This year I will be writing my final thesis. I will be graduating. I will be entering new chapter of my life. Feels like yesterday I just got into university, attending orientation week. hang out with everyone happily without having to think about what kind of job I want to do after graduating.

2016 taught me a lot. Last year I experienced failure and success. I laughed and cried. I got to understand myself better, I figured out what kind of future I want to have, and I started to love myself more and more each day.

To sum it up, here are the notable (?) moments I had in 2016:

Failed to join an internship program at my campus. This is the moment where I started wondering why did I always fail at anything I want to do (and I was seriously concerned about my future and my luck).

But, the I got accepted as an intern in the wedding startup. YAY!! 

On June, I spent my birthday with my friends. <3 b="" nbsp=""><3 b=""> I also went through a friendship breakup this month. A toxic one. So I'm actually glad this happened.

Enjoying my life as a loner intern for the first 3 months because I used to be the one and only intern there. Then finally new interns got there, and we had good times together. Three words to describe this: so. much. fun. I also learnt A LOT from my experience here, and from my senior at the office.

I finished my internship, got farewell gift and card from my mentor there, and back to my old status as student.

and here I am today. Safely arrived in 2017. Ready to experience more adventure.

and my 2017 slogan will be: 

Fuck it.

Just like what Alden Tan wrote on his blog,

Just live. Do your shit. Do your work. You’re not an idiot. You learn shit. Just keep on keeping on and stop overthinking the shit out of everything. That’s pointless.

If at this point you feel like you’ve a ton of questions and you’re like, “But, but, but…”

Whatever, just, whatever, okay?

Fuck it.

It will be okay.
My kind of k-dramas are usually the ones with light story line, often revolved in romantic comedy genres. Judging from the poster and the cast of this drama I just finished called 'My Wife's Having an Affair This Week', I assume that this will be my usual kind of dramas: romantic with a bit of comedy, but thankfully my verdict was wrong, because it's actually much deeper than a cliché love story or cringe-worthy kissing scenes (but don't worry, the little dose of comedy is still there).

dramafever

---SPOILER ALERT---
Please don't continue if you have yet to watch the drama and do not wish to figure out the plot details here.

'My Wife's Having an Affair This Week' (literal title of 이번 주 아내가 바람을 핍니다) brings up taboo topic which is not usually discussed openly and widely. This drama depicts a story about Do Hyun-Woo (played by Lee Sun-Gyun), a producer whose marriage with Jung Soo-Yeon (played by Song Ji-Hyo) is on the edge after he finds out that his wife has an affair. Unfortunately, he is too embarrassed to ask his family/colleagues for advice, so he's going on a social media instead to ask anonymous people for their opinions regarding what he should do to save his marriage.

To make this more interesting, Do Hyun-Woo is surrounded by people who also have similar issue regarding commitment, marriage, and cheating. First is his co-worker, Kwon Bo-Young (played by BoA) who is a divorcee and not considering to remarried after her first failure until she meets Ahn Joon-Young (played by Lee Sang-Yeob) who is pretending to be married for 3 years because he is too ashamed by the fact that his wife left him 3 days after their honeymoon. Then there is Choi Yoon-Ki (played by Kim Hee-Won) who is a total womanizer and going around sleeping with tons of women behind his wife's back, Eun Ah-Ra (played by Ye Ji-Won), whom he definitely takes for granted. 



After Do Hyun-Woo finds out about his wife's affair, he's becoming anxious, afraid, and confused about what he's going to do next. He opens up a thread on a forum and asking anonymous people for their point of views and asking for a guide. As might be expected, the responses are divided in 2 popular opinions: those who want him to try to make things work with his wife and those who want him to divorce her right away.

Lee Sun-Gyun definitely portrays the emotion precisely. In this phase, I was watching while thinking "Why don't you just calm your damn self and listen to your wife first instead of going crazy yelling here and there?!" but then I started to try to view this in his perspective, as I'm imagining what if it was me who was in his position. It must be really hard to accept the fact, to face the reality that there is a chance his marriage might be ruined because of this, and most importantly, the fact that the one he loves the most deceives him.

I'm not married. In fact, I'm a total noob in romantic relationship matters and have zero experience in this field. But I have my own views on cheating and affair. Thanks to this drama, I'm inspired to make a comparison between my own perspective vs drama perspective (based on what I perceive) regarding cheating, and marriage.

Second Chance

I believe that cheating can be a habit if you keep compromising with it, therefore I personally wouldn't bother to give a second chance to my s/o if he cheated on me, regardless of what his reason is. Being unfaithful simply means you are not committed enough to make you relationship works. Instead of cheating, if you really have something that bothers you, I think it's better to talk it out with your s/o and working together to find any possible solutions, especially when you're married. You are tied with law (and your vow) and divorce is not as easy as breaking up when you were still dating.

The Bad Cop

In this drama, the husband is seen reflected a lot after his wife explain the reason she cheated is basically because of her husband, who doesn't seem able to understand her struggle as a working mom and housewife, even though she's also feel sorry herself. For me, the one to blame for cheating is never the third person but the doer itself, be it the wife or the husband. Once you're unfaithful, you automatically become the bad cop because no intruder would step into your home if you're not opening the door. Remember that both of you have the same responsible to keep your home safe from the intruder.

Forgive vs Forget

After the husband declaring to the anonymous audience in the forum that he has decided to forgive his wife, the wife asked him the last, real question: can you really forget the fact that your wife was held by other man? There's a conflict here where he wants to start over, wants to try to give a second shot with his wife and continue to live together as if nothing happened, but his subconscious mind forbids him to do so, because the answer is you can't. You simply cannot forget the fact that your s/o had been held by other man than you, unless you hit your head to the rock and loss your memory.

JTBC/Dramacool
Overall, I recommend everyone to watch this drama! This is not your typical romance k-drama, it has serious topic and comedy as well so it's still fun to watch (plus Lee Sun-Gyun, the korean actor with sexiest voice is starred in this drama!!)

In the end, faithfulness is definitely one of the must-have-traits you should find in your partner, because we're all deserve to be with someone who love us as much as we love them ❤ And if you have other thoughts on this drama, please let me know by leaving your comment below! :)
