Kdrama : Go Back Couple

Choi Ban-Do (Son Ho-Jun) and Ma Jin-Joo (Jang Na-Ra) are both 38-years-old and a married couple. Choi Ban-Do has been burdened with being the breadwinner and Ma Jin-Joo is a housewife with low self-esteem. Even though they loved each other when they married, they now hate each other. They both regret marrying at such a young age. The couple travel through time and find themselves as 20-year-old university students, when they met for the first time.


I watched Familiar Wife first and realized both dramas are almost similar with 2nd chance between a married couple as the core but if you can only watch one, I would highly recommend Go Back Couple. It is so much better in terms of plot, maturity, relatability ( with the son being brought in ), high-emotions, family love, etc.

Initially, I had wanted to skip the show, because So Ho Jun and Jang Na Ra looked like an unlikely couple but because of A-lister Jang Na Ra and how her dramas always shine, I decided to watch the first episode and boy! was I hooked!

The chemistry between the 2 leads and the 2nd leads are all so sweet and endearing and I really like the fact that all of them are level-headed and mature even to the point of knowing when to let go of their unrequited love.

You can't help but to root for Jang Ki Yong as the 2nd male lead, simply by the way he adored Jang Na-Ra. And the way that Son Ho-Jun and him fighting for her attention is just so hilarious, especially where both of them slept together beside her.

Watching the show reminds me once again, how fragile a relationship is, be it family or your love partner and how one should always cherish the time of having them by your side because one day, they will no longer be around. After all, our life on earth is limited.

Personally, I thought the ending for the last episode was too abrupt, there is no proper closure to those around the main leads - I would love to see where each and every one of them ended up with.

I also dislike the numerous to-and-fro between present and the past, making me a little confused at times, wondering which "era" the plot is in at that time frame. Then again, it is a small issue, as I get over that pretty quickly after a few minutes.

Go Back Couple has this feel-good factor with no jealousy and evil plots, but regrets and what-ifs that make tears roll and how the couple try to make things right, with the given chance. A must-watch Kdrama!

KDrama : Signal

Hae-Young (Lee Je-Hoon) works as a criminal profiler and is also a police lieutenant. Even though he is a cop, he doesn't trust cops due to his own past experience. Back in 2000, when Hae-Young was in elementary school, his classmate Yoon-Jung was kidnapped and later found dead. Hae-Young saw a woman taking Yoon-Jung from school that day, but the police announced that the suspect was a man. Hae-Young even went to the police station and told the police officers that he saw the kidnapper and she was a woman. The police officers though didn't pay attention to him. The killer was never caught and her case remains unsolved to this day.

Hae-Young meets a reporter at a cafe to reveal bombshells about a celebrity scandal. Meanwhile, veteran detective Soo-Hyun (Kim Hye-Soo) is at the cafe staking out the meeting, unaware that Hae-Young is a cop. She arrests Hae-Young for stalking celebrities. While leaving the police station (the same police station he went to as a kid), Hae-Young hears someone talking to him. He looks around to find a walkie-talkie. The man who is talking to Hae-Young is Detective Jae-Han (Cho Jin-Woong). The detective though is from the year 2000 and he is investigating the disappearance of Hae-Young's elementary school classmate. Hae-Young and Detective Jae-Han begin to communicate via the walkie-talkie.

This is such an excellent show, that I would highly recommend anyone who is into murder, mystery and thrillers to watch it. No wonder, it becomes one of the highest rated dramas in Korean cable television history with a peak audience share of 12.54%. It received praises for its solid acting, tightly-constructed plot and detailed and sophisticated direction.

Loved the show and especially Cho Jin-woong who put in a solid performance as the male lead, losing the lady he loved and also his own life, just because of his pursuit for justice. The emotions he portrayed in his role, had me tearing as I can feel his pain and his loss. To be honest, I didn't know who he was, before the show " Signal" but now I can see, why he is known as one of Korea's best actors, because he truly deliver an exceptional and flawless performance. You just have to watch the show, to get what I meant.

Cho Jin Woong,as a male detective, is so different from the "genius" male leads that we are so used to - he is simple, pure, idealistic, persistent, relentless and vulnerable, that you can't help screaming "don't do it!" at the TV screen at times, or quietly praying that nothing will happen or secretly rooting for him, in your heart for the things he did and did not do. There is a surge of emotions for him, as the one and only uncorrupted detective in the whole police force, where he is faced with different obstacles along the way to unraving the deadly plot.

The plot is complex, yet kept one rooted at the edge of your seat with every episode. Most of the cases are based on real crimes - one of it, being the famous Hwaseong Serial Murders which remained unsolved till today. Several films and television shows are based on these murders, such as Signal and Tunnel. As much as I enjoyed watching Tunnel, I would still recommend one to watch Signal if you can only watch one show. Signal would always be a winner in my heart. It is really that good.

KDrama : Familiar Wife

Cha Joo Hyuk works at a bank and has been married to Seo Woo Jin for five years. When a strange incident happens one day, Joo Hyuk makes a decision that impacts his life and those around him in unexpected ways. Suddenly, the life he had with Woo Jin and his best friend, Yoon Joong Hoo are gone and he is leading a very different life. How will his first love, Lee Hee Won, factor into his new life? And will it be possible to get his old life back?

The first episode was so relatable that I can't wait for more. I know of guys who are like him, who blamed the wife for the married life that went wrong, without realizing that he was the one who caused it to happen. 

I like how he started out as a self centered guy who only think of his own misery and unhappiness, with disregard to how his wife is handling the marriage to moving on and realizing that he was the one who caused the marriage to breakdown, and leaving his wife to her own, most of the time. 

The story gives both characters a 2nd chance in life and how Cha Joo Hyuk learnt more about himself and those around him to become a better person. In the last episode, you can see that both main leads have decided to love, support and cherish each other in managing life, work, marriage and family. And thats what makes the drama so endearing!

Kang Ha Na as his other wife is just so pretty, I can't help but to stare at her sweet dimple all the time. Watching her on Running Man tells me that, she is aware of her own beauty because she accepted all compliments without saying anything as though she hears them all the time. HAHA.

This is a good drama for married couples.

KDrama : A Korean Odyssey

In 2017, Son Oh-Gong and Ma-Wang are in conflict with each other as they look for a true light in a dark world where evil thrives. Having made a contract with Seon-mi 25 years ago, entitling her to seek help from Son Oh-Gong whenever she calls him in exchange for letting him free, the two meet again in a fateful encounter. From there, Son Oh-Gong is bound to his protective role towards Seon-mi, the little girl he had met years ago.

Earlier this year, A Korean Odyssey was so popular that has everyone talking about it and with a friend highly recommending this drama to me, it was apt that I should be watching it too. To add on, this drama was written by the famous Hong Sisters who have written many popular romantic comedies like The Girl, You're Beautiful, My Girlfriend Is A Nine-Tale Fox, The Greatest Love, Master's Sun, etc which I enjoyed. A Korean Odyssey is also known as Journey To The West remake.

Main lead, Lee Seung Gi as Son Oh Gong is so in love with female lead Oh Yeon Seo as Jin Jeon Mi that he will do anything to protect her. Despite his fiery temper, he has a soft and endearing side towards his friend, Cha Seung Won as Woo Hwi Chul and their constant bickering are just hilarious.

I like Jin Jeon Mi's office assistant who is a simple, kind and lovable character who always manage to inject a comical touch to the story. Every character just flourish under the Hong Sisters' writing and the humour is just so on point and makes it an enjoyable drama.

The plot is fantasy-like ( which is expected, since most of them are demons ) and each of the demons has an interesting personality and power.

Unfortunately, I thought the power of Black Dragon was alittle overhyped because it was killed by Son Oh Gong too easily, without much of a battle. And Jin Jeong Mi, with so much power, died alittle too quickly too. I was expecting more though.

However, I do like that Woo Hwi Chul managed to find out who his son is, and how he start to protect him from afar, without revealing who he is.

A nice drama!

KDrama : Marry Me Now

Park Yoo-Ha (Han Ji-Hye) studied hard in medical school and finished her intern course. She works hard to become a doctor due to her father. Her father raised 4 children by himself and her oldest sister also sacrificed for the family. Park Yoo-Ha is not interested in other people. Suddenly, her father marries a woman rich enough to own a building.

Meanwhile, Jung Eun-Tae (Lee Sang-Woo) works as a doctor. He volunteered for performing medical service abroad, but he comes back to Korea. Jung Eun-Tae is not interested in marriage, because his father placed priority on his medical work over family and Jung Eun-Tae believes he is like his father.

Korean drama, Marry Me Now has recently ended its run of 50 episodes. I followed the show religiously, since episode 1. It was such a heartwarming plot and I don't even feel that its 50 episodes long. Kudos to the filming crew and the cast. Every character has his/her own time to develop in their character as we get involved in their family affairs.

I am not a fan of family dramas because their stories tend to be long and draggy but Marry Me Now was never boring. Even though the plot is simple and light but it displays the love and affection each had for another.

And while some may cringe upon PDA ( public display of affection ) between old folks in dramas, which this drama has, fret not, as both main leads have put in excellent performance to not make you feel that way. The female lead  Jang Mi Hee as Lee Mi Yeon fell head over heels for male lead, Yoo Dong Geun as Park Hyo Seob, ever and both are just so endearing and sweet to each other, that you can't help but to feel happy for their new found love at their age.

If you are into heartwarming and loving family drama, then this is a must-watch. I really enjoyed the show and I sincerely feel that, if every family can be like them, our world would be a better place.

KDrama : Whats Wrong With Secretary Kim?

Lee Young-Joon's family runs a large company and he works as the vice-president of the company. He is smart, rich and handsome, but he is arrogant. His secretary is Kim Mi-So. She has worked for him for years and she is perfect for him, but Kim Mi-So decides to quit her job.

The show ended yesterday with everything coming to a perfect closure. I enjoyed the show. There is no evil mother-in-law, revengeful plot, love affairs, backstabbing, just a simple and pure office cum romance, with comical characters round the corner. 

It has a perfect sweet ending where every other couple, other than the main leads, get together according to their wishes too. Just like a happily-ever-after fairy tale. 

Park Min Young is so beautiful in the show and I actually went to do some googling to see if its natural beauty. It turned out that her plastic surgeon did a good job in transforming her. The clothes that she wore, showed off her curves in all the right places and its been said that she lost 4 kg specifically for this role just so that, she can look good in office wear. And certainly she does, in her chic and polished office wear. Park Min Young, you rock!

Park Yoo Sik ( Kang Ki Young ) is downright funny being Lee Young Joon's best friend and director in the same company as he dishes out love advice to him.  

Chairman Lee and his wife are always giving sarcastic jabs to each other which is totally hilarious!

And of course, all the other characters in the office are good as well. Every character has been brought to life and there is a feel-good vibe for each of the character in the show, that you can't help but to root for them - their lives, their relationships, their friendships, etc. 

Love the perfect ending, and I hope you enjoy the show too!

Matcha Azuki Mochi

A friend has just came back from Osaka and bought a box of Matcha Azuki Mochi for me. Thankfully, the Azuki is hardly delectable which had me enjoying the small box of Mochi.

Sharing among 4 of us at home, meant that we polished a box of 10 mochi within 10 minutes. Mochi are small balls made of glutinuous rice which can be sweet or savory.

The sweetness of Matcha Azuki Mochi is just right - not overly sweet, with a subtle matcha flavour which can be stronger. However, the addictive part is the mochi which is very very soft, chewy and dense.

Black Knight : The Man Who Guards Me

A man risks fate for a woman he loves.

Soo-Ho (Kim Rae-Won) is a successful businessman who lives abroad. Those that oppose Soo-Ho always seem to suffer misfortune. He decides to go to South Korea find Hae-Ra (Shin Se-Kyung), but first he goes to Slovenia.

Meanwhile in Seoul, Hae-Ra works at a travel agency, but she has never had a chance to travel abroad. She had a happy childhood until her parents died. Her life has been miserable ever since. She thinks back to a purple cashmere coat that her parents ordered for her as a Christmas present, but she could not pick up because of their demise. She decides to go to Sharon's Boutique and look for that coat in hopes of changing her fortune. After meeting Sharon (Seo Ji-Hye) at the boutique, she opens her eyes and finds her purple cashmere coat. Afterwards, people who give her a hard time suffer misfortune. She goes to Slovenia and meets Soo-Ho. Their fate has been intertwined since their past lives.

The opening of the drama was sleek with a rich man ( Kim Rae Won ) in the background of Slovenia's lush mountains and pastures, and then moving on to how he met the female lead, Shin Se Kyung. It begins innocently enough with the sweet pursuit of Shin, and how attracted he was to her when actually, he already knows who she is. 

“Black Knight” tells the story of a sad yet beautiful love between a man and a woman transcending time. Love that had failed once in the past due to the chaotic reality continues to the present day with intensified emotions.

Somehow, it gives one hope that love never dies. If both of you are meant to be with each other, you will still get to meet and fall in love - akin to a red string binding the both of you. But of course, Korea drama will go 1 step further, pairing you with a perfect gentleman - romantic, rich, suave, love you to death, a great cook, CEO of a company and giving whatever you want. 

In Black Knight, Soo Ho is always there for Hae-Ra, just like her knight, protecting her from all danger. The ending is sad, because Hae-Ra grows old while Soo Ho will always be the way he is but he will be lonely as she will eventually left him when she died. 

The story started off pretty well, giving me the vibe to watch it further but it starts to get draggy, with all sort of plots being throw in. Then again, this story is never normal in the first place - it just started off as normal. 

Sharon is evil throughout because of her love for Soo-Ho but I still wish that she could have turned better, realized her folly and did some good things for them, instead of having such an easy death. 

I am touched by the love shown by Soo Ho for Se Kyung. His love for her never waver. Whatever he did, is always for her. He has her in his thoughts all the time. 

I can't say that this is a must-watch but its worth considering when you have watched all the essential dramas. 

Matcha Chocolate Daifuku

My brother bought a box of Matcha Chocolate Daifuku for me while vacationing in Tokyo 2 months ago. As the name implies, Daifuku mochi is a traditional type of Japanese confectionery which is soft and chewy like mochi. 

The matcha flavoured soft and round rice cake with white chocolate filling is addictive and the bite-sized portion makes it easy to digest. Oiishi!

KDrama : Tunnel

In 1986, Detective Park Gwang-Ho desperately tries to catch a serial killer. He chases after the serial killer and goes through a tunnel. On the other side of the tunnel, Detective Park Gwang-Ho finds himself in the year 2017. The serial killer has resumed the killings that began 30 years ago. Detective Park Gwang-Ho works with Detective Kim Sun-Jae and Professor of Criminal Psychology Shin Jae-Yi to catch the killer.

There were several shows based on the true story "Hwaseong Serial Murder Case" where the case remained unsolved till today. You can read about it here. 

1. Memories of Murder | Salinui Chueok (2003)
2. Gabdong, the Memories of Murder | Gapdongi (tvN / 2014)
3. Signal (tvN / 2016)
4. Tunnel (OCN / 2017)
5. Signal (Fuji TV / 2018)

This exciting detective drama has plenty of bends and curves in identifying the villains with an unexpected twist inbetween. Note the "s" behind the villains?
The police team, though quick-witted but is always one step behind the villains, brings on the nail-biting moments. I found myself glued to the screen every time the show is on. 

I love the chemistry between the male lead and his old and new working partners. The jokes between them. The undying love he has for his wife. Everyone else seem to be connected to the male lead aka the detective in many unexpected ways which makes it interesting. 

To date, Tunnel has the highest-rated drama in OCN’s history, and the cast and crew have been rewarded with a vacation to Guam at the end of May.

I really enjoyed watching Tunnel although the ending was abit of an anti-climax. I guess I was expecting more from Mok Jin Woo. He confessed too easily, considering that the most part of the show was all about catching the murderer. And what happened after he solved the case and returned back to 30 years ago? I guess that would be something we can only guess. 

But this is a definite must-watch Korean drama. Please go watch and leave a comment, if you like it.

KDrama : Marriage Contract

Ji-Hoon has a cynical personality due to his family background. Even though he comes from a rich family, his mother had an affair with a married man and they had Ji-Hoon. From a young age, he became separated from his mother and began to live with his father's family. One day, he learns that his mother has a liver disease and she doesn't have much time left to live. Her only hope is to get a liver transplant. Ji-Hoon becomes desperate. At that time, he meets Hye-Soo and her daughter Eun-Sung.

Hye-Soo has lived alone with her daughter Eun-Sung after her husband's death. She is constantly hounded by loan sharks due to her late husband's debt. Hye-Soo begins to work at the restaurant run by Ji-Hoon. She learns that she has a brain tumor and she needs money for her daughter after she passes away. Hye-Soo overhears from Ji-Hoon that he is looking for a liver donor for his mother. To make it happen legally, Ji-Hoon plans to marry the donor. Hye-Soo insists to Ji-Hoon that she wants to be the donor. Ji-Hoon, unaware of Hye-Soo's brain tumor, accepts her offer and they prepare a marriage contract.

The trailer didn't seem promising so I didn't watch it until its halfway through. Happened to be switching channels and caught an episode. Needless to say, it had me in tears. So anything that will have me crying is a must-watch. Yes, I am such an emotional wreck, I know. 

I watched Uee in several shows and she seems to be getting thinner with every new show so I can't really stand to watch it. She looked like she has anorexia but it fits her role best in this drama where she is battling with brain tumour.

Every alternate episode had me tearing. I love her daughter, Shin Rin Ah who always draws you in, with her innocent and sweet endeavour. Park Ho Joon (Kim Kwang Gyu) is funny as usual, with his frustrating outbursts that are hilarious yet cute at the same time. 

Unfortunately, the ending is ambiguous. Did she die or did she not? I think its done on purpose because most people are expecting a sweet ending so the PD made it just as ambiguous as they can. 

KDrama : Radio Romance

Song Geu-Rim works as an assistant radio program writer. Her mother became blind when Song Geu-Rim was 14-years-old. Afterwards, she listened to the radio frequently with her mother. This led Song Geu-Rim to become a radio program writer, but she isn't exactly talented in writing. Her radio program DJ suddenly leaves Korea and Song Geu-Rim loses her job at the radio broadcasting station. Meanwhile, PD Lee Gang comes back to Korea from India. Sometimes he acts insane, but he is generally good at his job. Lee Gang suggests to Song Geu-Rim that if she can cast Ji Soo-Ho  as the DJ of their new radio program, she can work as the main writer of their radio program. Ji Soo-Ho is a top actor. He and his parents look perfectly happy, but in fact they are only acting as a happy family. Ji Soo-Ho suffers from depression and he can't sleep without taking sleeping pills.

Song Geu-Rim keeps approaching Ji Soo-Ho to take the DJ position, but he refuses. With Song Geu-Rim's enthusiastic and genuine approach, Ji Soo-Ho accepts.

Kim So Hyun always reminds me of Lee Hye Ri. Does anyone feel this way or is it just me? The girl in the poster above looks so different from the one in the show. Too much editing, perhaps?

I fell in love with the story from day 1 but it kinda fizzled out nearer to the end of the story because it got alittle draggy. I love how bubbly, innocent and silly Kim So Hyun is, always making mistakes in her work yet having both first and second male leads helping her in different ways...then again, isn't that the lure of Korea dramas? 

Their love story has been solid from the start, without much wavering, except for some jealousy here and there, but you know that both their hearts belonged to just each other. The initial start between Kim So Hyun and Yoon Doo Joon has been pretty sweet, with little gestures from the aloof Yoon Doo Joon trying to protect her in his cute and awkward way. 

However, I really can't stand the red eyes, pale skin and red lips from Yoon Doo Joon and even went to do a little research online to see if he's always been like that. Its distracting me from the other happenings in the show. 

The affection from Yoon Park has been ambiguous - on one hand, he seems to have genuine affection for her, on the other hand, he's not making any other moves to pursue her, until its too late.

The ending between Kim So Hyun and Yoon Doo Joon is kind of expected but took a long time to get there, so it was kinda boring. A good show to watch, if you have the time.

Boulangerie Asanoya Green Tea Chocolate Danish

Boulangerie Asanoya is a bakery from Japan, first established in Karuizawa town near Nagano in 1933. They use ITO EN in their matcha flavoured treats such as this Green Tea Chocolate Danish.

The Green Tea Chocolate Danish is slightly sweet, probably due to the chocolate while the exterior is alright. At $3.90, its not exactly cheap as a breakfast on-the-go bread but good on days when you just want some artisan bread. I may try other matcha flavoured pastries next time.

Nadeje : Green Tea Mille Crepe

Nadeje is a cake shop in Malacca famous for its mille crepe which comes in an assortment of flavours like Mango, Coffee, Green Tea and The Original. My dear hubby was on a road trip with his friends some time back and brought back several flavours of  Mille Crepe. Imagine my sheer delight on seeing them and all were so good - soft, moist and delicious.

Non Entree Desserts : Matcha Avalanache

Francis Wong, an ex-sous pastry chef from Regent Singapore, started Non Entree Desserts with his 2 friends, to provide fine dining desserts at reasonable prices for the masses.

When I first heard about its desserts, I thought the place would be alittle "atas" so imagine my surprise, when I found myself stepping into this spacious and laid-back enclave. A great place to chill with friends as one indulged in beautiful desserts.

Matcha Avalanache ( $13.90, excluding GST ) belongs to their Avalanache series where it consists of chocolate, matcha and horlicks ( non permanent ) flavours.

It was a natural choice for me to pick the Matcha Avalanache although it includes Azuki Beans which I am not a fan of. I requested for it to be excluded but the dessert still came with the Azuki Beans. So being a nice person, I just took it without much fuss.

It was a visual treat to see the dessert, where the matcha from the warm and moist lava cake on top of a honeycomb waffle will drip into a glass bowl of a scoop of gelato and some edible flowers below, once you sliced it open.

It was a little pricey but for the novelty factor and the visual treat, it was worth a visit. The Matcha Avalanache was not bad but can be perfect without the azuki beans as I am not a fan of that.

Korean Drama : Memory

Park Tae-seok, a successful and famous attorney suddenly was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. And he was asked to become an attorney for the future Hangook Hospital's chairman, on the recommendation of a vice president of the renowned company, Shin Yeong-jin. During the handling of the case, he also had to hide the fact that he had Alzheimer's disease. The drama depicts his vigorous efforts trying to protect the precious value of the life and family love, while his memory starts fading away.

Lee Sung Min puts in a fine performance, as the lead actor in Memory, executing all his raw emotions perfectly from being an arrogant and unscrupulous attorney to his inner turmoil and pain on losing his first son, to being shocked on finding out his illness, to start being good to his family, to being lost and confused on the streets and to be desperately searching for his son's killer. 

Kim Ji-soo starred as Lee Sung Min's long suffering wife who devotes her life to supporting the family as a dutiful wife and a caring mother, never once giving up on the wayward son and the disappointing hubby, both of whom later turned around to be the best family one can have. 

Lee Jun Ho and Yoon So Hee are the subordinates of Lee Sung Min in the show and provides a nice distraction to the plot. They work tirelessly and carry out their duties according to what their boss requires, for every legal case. They later fall in love, to the amusement of Lee Sung Min who has long suspected that they have something going on between each other. 

Granted, when I first heard about this show, "Remember" immediately comes to mind, because both dramas talk about losing their memories and with both lead actors being lawyers and fighting for a chance to present their cases in the midst of their losing memories. 

But, Memory surpassed Remember in every aspect. Memory had me in tears in Every. Single. Episode. It is that emotional wrenching. I can't tell you how much I love this show. The last time I remembered about crying so much over a drama was 1 Litre of Tears, a Japanese drama where I found myself going to work with red and swollen eyes after a night of crying. 

The OST is hauntingly sad and teary which fits the story perfectly. Tears rolled down, each time they are played on my playlist. 

A must-watch drama. And get your tissues ready.
