I always found aspiring fashion for those who want to be cool, otherwise those who innately have that cool aura can project it with thrift store finds alone.

I’ve been mostly out of commission since the new year so haven’t watched any new K-drama in a few weeks. I’m trying to finish up I am Not a Robot (so nonsensical but sweet) and Hwayugi (entertaining but inconsistent) but two high profile new releases this month have both started off promising already. SBS Wed-Thurs police thriller Return with Go Hyun … Continue reading →

Both Yoon Eun Hye and Yoon Hyun Min have turned down the offer to be the leads for the upcoming sci-fi romance drama Love Like a Human. The drama would have been Yoon Eun Hye’s first drama since 2013 with Marry Him if You Dare whereas Yoon … Continue reading →
