Corona Time

2020 has become the most surprising year. In just 5 months time, everything change like in a roller coaster. Floods, Corona, Work From Home, American Riot, seems like every year you will get new surprises. It's almost like Forest Gumps said about chocolate, but the problem is, it's not chocolate, this is more like a stale bread that already filled with mushrooms. 

So many people have died during this pandemic, I already stayed at home for more than 3 days. At first I thought, wew this will be like holiday but paid. I could take a nap every day, and just enjoying every day in the bed. How I was wrong. Work from home apparently made you with no time boundaries, you could physically in front of the computer in long hours, working. Conference calls with clients, internal discussion, webinars, planning, and so many other things. One thing that I should be grateful is, I'm still working and get paid, unlike other Industries that suffers with great loss, my company is still surviving. 

Stay at home for many months made you crave your friends, your colleagues, longing for going out, sipping coffee in a cafe, its like all those things you used to do will only become memories. I miss the sea, I miss walking on sidewalks, eating ramen, miss my friends and their laughter. How all the small things became so precious, I wonder when time will go back the way it used to be. 

This pandemic really teach us how life is so precious, how relationship between human is the power to do anything. I valued my family more, I rely on them more, and enjoy every moment I share with them. So, my advice for you now, try your best and value your family more. Love their weirdness, love their craziness and just do your best. Just do your best. 

We have 6 months more in 2020, we don't know how many surprises that will come against us. But lets try to follow the ride and enjoy it. 

Reply 1988 - Korean Drama Review

If you ever ask me about Korean Drama, there are only 3 Korean Drama that I like. That is :

1. Coffee Prince

2. Full House

3. Reply1988

Today, I want to talk about the third one. 

Its a story about family, so if you're looking to have a funny, heart warmer story about family this is the right drama. Unlike any other Korean Dramas, there are not so many good looking people in this drama. As you can see from the poster above. 

The story is about an alley that filled with 5 families. They are neighbours. They lived together for almost two decades, their children has become a gang of friends. One family, Mr Kim and his wife the lady cheetah is a rich family. The other one is the poor one, who lives on the basement of Mr. Kim's house. Across Mr. Kim's house there are a widow with two children, and also a widower with a son named Choi Taek. 

The gang of friends consist of 4 boys and a girl. The girl named is Deok Sun, the other four boys is Sam Woo, Jung Hwan/Pal, Doe Ryong and Choi Taek. Forgive me if I wrote it wrong. They all grew together since they are at the age of 3 or 4. Every time, almost every night they will gather around Choi Taek's room to watch TV, eating ramen, and chatting. They also go to school together, every single day. Could you imagine the closeness.

So, Sam Woo likes Duk Seon's big sister, they become a couple for years until something happen along the way. The conflict starts when two of the gang member likes Duk Seon as a girl. This is the interesting part. 

The other interesting part is the parents. Like our own parents, the parents has so many lies about many things to protect their family, and also crazy habits that they keep their entire life. You will laugh looking at the parents, it's like looking your own family with their craziness. We got to admit, family do made us crazy at times, but they are the biggest supporter in our life. They will give everything to see us succeed. 

You will start to value your family, accepting their craziness. Laughing with the craziness of the casts, and enjoying their winning. Its like you become part of their families at the end of the drama. 16 episodes is not long for this drama. 

I could still memorize the story after the drama, unlike any other korean dramas that just pass me, and can't remember a thing. This one is a gem. So, please do watch the first 3 episodes and see if you enjoy the drama. 

I give this drama 4/5 stars!
