Currently Watching: Witch's Romance, Angel Eyes, Global WGM, WGM

I rummaged through my drama folder to see what shows I was currently watching only to find out that this was it. I have 2 dramas and several variety shows. That's it. My, my, what a dry spell I have here. I know I said I'd get a move on once God's Gift ended but I don't think I've made much progress. I've downloaded a handful of episodes of Three Days, Gapdong, Empress Ki, and Taiwanese dramas Just You and Fall In Love With Me....

Wrapping Up: God's Gift - 14 Days

I woke up at the crack of dawn today just to squish in some time to watch the final 2 episodes of God's Gift. Needless to say, I was staring at my laptop screen at half past 6 in the morning, thinking to myself, "what in the name of sanity did I just watch?!" Before anything else, let me just say that I sublimely enjoyed the gripping ride this show took me on. I seriously and genuinely loved it for what it was and what it aimed to be. Although...

My Lists: 10 things I miss most about Seoul

I'm booked for a trip to Seoul for autumn this year! I am beyond excited. Like, I have a feeling this trip is going to be awesome.

Traveling together, as they say, is putting your friendship to the test. I don't know but I have a feeling we're gonna be pretty...

My Lists: 4 current dramas I've started watching but haven't kept up with

For some reason, I am currently in a drama-watching slump. Not that there's a shortage of dramas in kdramaland, of course not. But none of these awesome dramas have been able to hold my attention for very long. Aside from the ever awesome God's Gift - 14 Days, I have yet to get past the first couple of episodes for each of these dramas. 1. Three Days - My love for Yoochun be damned, I saw half of the first episode and closed the window as soon...

God's Gift continues to fascinate

So I went to find Hans Christian Andersen’s The Story of a Mother, the book from which the opening of God’s Gift - 14 Days' first episode was taken from. This is the same book that Dong-chan reads to Saet-byul in episode 10. Just like the little girl, I was curious about how the story ends. The last bit of the story reads: Then the mother wrung her hands, fell on her knees, and prayed to God, “Grant not my prayers, when they are contrary...
