Couple sharing an intimate moment outdoors.

I remember reading so many novels growing up, I was basically an English major in literary consumption but chose another bachelor of arts discipline for more practical purposes.

tvN Mon-Tues Drama You Are My Spring Drops Below 2% Ratings Midway Through Airing as Audiences Find the Schism Between Healing and Suspense Drama Not Well Bridged

Couple lying on grass, smiling together.

Newly arrived tvN drama You are My Spring is……interesting to say the least. I watched episode 1 and can’t for the life of me decide if I like it or dislike it. If it wasn’t for leads Seo Hyun Jin and Kim Dong Wook both of whom I love, I probably would lean towards dislike but it’s not because the … Continue reading →
