For all those serial drama lovers who look forward to opinions from more drama lovers! I have personally seen a loooooot of dramas of all times, many cultures and genres. Not that I am proud of but after one time you start getting a sense of what dramas are what kind. So after I had watched many urdu, Turkish, American, Chinese etc etc dramas I decided to go for a different culture and I came across the great Korean nation. Yes I went for K dramas, man, I watched so many I quickly lost count but we always have those that stand out from the others.


For me that other was ‘cheese in the trap’, I liked this one and I liked it gooood. Now imagine this, I was in my third year in business studies and the lead women is in third year business studies. I could relate to the girl’s hectic life, her friends, her work load, her problems and her fun events. The story of this drama was so deep and detail oriented. You have to watch it more than once at least of course I have watched too many times.
This is a story of a girl named Hong Seol she is a third year student who works very hard to earn her tuition, pay her expenses and study well. She has these two amazing friends who take care of her. And then there is a senior of her who she believes is one twisted person who is out to ruin her life she tries to avoid him any chance she gets and somewhat believes he is behind some of her misfortune happening which you will understand better when you see the series, the girl was not some paranoid freak.

So when she doesn’t have enough money for her university fees she decides to take a year off and her positive point is that by that time her ‘senior’ will be passed out and she can go to school in peace but to her surprise she gets the scholarship that semester and it happens because of that senior that’s when the story of this series starts properly. I won’t be giving out any spoiler but I believe this one is worth watching!


Melting Me Softly is Ji Chang Wook’s post-military first drama. This drama tells the story of how two people volunteer themselves to be frozen for 24 hours as part of an experiment for a variety show in 1999. But things go wrong and as a result they aren’t warmed and woken up by the end of 24 hours, but instead, are woken up after 20 years!
Ji Chang Wook(Ma Dong Chan)


Ma Dong Chan is a variety show director who won many awards. He really enjoys taking on challenges and taking risks. 

The idea of cryogenic experiment appeal him so much that he wishes to record the process of freezing and unfreezing of humans as part of an experiment. This experiment is conducted by Dr. Hwang. He wants to raise this experiment’s validity.

So, Ma Dong Chan volunteers himself as one of the test subjects while also intending to enlist a female test subject. Son Hyun Ki suggested Go Mi Ran as a female test subject. As Go Mi Ran’s risk-taking capabilities are very high because she take’s part in every experiment Dong Chan suggest for his variety show. 
Ji Chang Wook(Ma Dong Chan)

Finally, the experiment day arrives. There are total 6 test subjects including Go Mi Ran and Ma Dong Chan. The clock was set for 24 hours and Hyun Ki get ready for recording the whole process for their variety show.

Just before the two hours left on the clock, Dr. Hwang go out for something important. Dr. Hwang ends up in car chase, when he succeeded in avoiding the truck of doom, his car blasts. 
As Dr. Hwang was not able to reach lab and start unfreezing his assistant hide everything before anyone realizes, even the capsules of test subjects disappeared. Everyone decided to keep it a secret.

20 years later in 2019. Dr. Hwang survived the accident somehow and he has been in coma. He wakes up miraculously and inject unfreezing serum in Dong Chan and Mi Ran. They woke up at different times and go out. After observing the environment, they finally realize that it’s no longer 1999.





The story of this season starts with the need of new surgeons from general and cardiothoracic surgery.  In search for potential surgeons Master Kim went to Geosan University Hospital. There Master Kim encountered a second-year cardiothoracic surgery fellow named Cha Eun-jae, and a second-year general surgery fellow named Seo Woo-jin.

The relationship of Woo-jin and Eun-jae was very complicated because they were both friends and competitors at medical school. Woo-jin was hated by many other surgeons as in his previous hospital he had whistleblown against his senior of unethical acts. Woo-jin’s whole family committed suicide together but Woo-Jin survived.so Woo-jin was in huge debt left by his parents and because of high interest rate the amount of debt increased so much that Woo-jin was unable to pay.

 Cha eun-jae belongs to a family of doctors, she had panic disorder whenever she goes in the operating theater. To perform surgery Eun-jae take medicine so she became dependent on medicines, but with side-effects of nausea or falling asleep during operation.

 Eun-jae was transferred to Doldam Hospital when she made a mistake during operation, while Woo-jin arrived joined Doldam Hospital after being dismissed from Geosan Hospital to escape from loan sharks

After Chairman Shin passed away Do Yoon-wan returned as the chairman of Geosan University Foundation. His goal was to build a medical resort for the rich by closing Doldam hospital.  Master Kim’s plan was of making Doldam an emergency centre as Doldam Hospital was close to major 4 highways. 
Lee Sung Kyung(Cha Eun Jae)


Hospital director Yeo Woon-yeong (Kim Hong-pa) was replaced with Professor Park Min-gook (Kim Joo-hun) by chairman Do, Professor Park  met Master Kim many years ago in a bus accident, where he ran away while Master Kim stayed to save the victims of the accident.

After that accident, he was obsessed in winning Master Kim, and to prove that Master Kim would put own interest above the patient’s interest. But, Master Kim always place a patient’s life above his own life.




Being in a lockdown gives one quite a lot of time to reflect on oneself, doesn’t it?

It also gives you the opportunity to watch all 8 parts of one of your all-time favorite movies. For me the evergreen harry potter series hold quite the special spot. I started all over from the place where a boy with a scar on his head was sent to his muggle relatives who treated him quite indifferently, made him do a lot of work. You tend to get Cinderella vibes around that time. But of course he is still a gem of a person. So while he is living a normal life in the suburbs, he gets this letters or a rain of letters which invites him to this place called ‘Hogwarts’ which becomes the reasons of eternal obsessions of people all around the globe.





We can never forget the greatest lesson it teaches us which dawns realization upon us all the way to the end of the series to the very last part. It teaches us that we do not know as well as we think we do!

Although there are many instances where this point is made but the most impactful is Severus Snape. Harry Potter spends his whole life believing that Snape loathed him and wanted to hurt him and was a part of the enemy, just to mention I also believed this quite a large portion of my life until I decided to watch Harry Potter from the very start to end after I was old enough to properly understand it, that is when I realized who Snape actually was and the misunderstandings from the very start that portrait him as one hateful man were all instances where he was trying to protect Potter.

Safe to say, I was surprised. I believe there are still many people who have not seen Harry Potter and So, as now we have quite the time on our hands, if you are looking for a series where it will be worth your time and long. This is the one!





One of the fun parts on writing about some unknown lands are your imagination, you can make all the decisions about it. It is like your world. But then getting an introduction to a land you can only imagine, well that’s another story. Crash landing on you shows the story of a elite class south Korean girl who due to a tornado ends up in the north part of the region at first she can’t believe it because as if! But then realization eventually dawns upon her and she accepts the fact that she is indeed North Korea.




The idea of this drama was indeed different, they made sure to do their research. The dressing, beliefs, accents, rules and jokes are all different from that commonly known in South Korea. My personal favorite was the one where on the birthday, one wraps the gift and is asked the question that why did she wrap it? Was she ashamed of her gift?  LOL..


The story revolves around how she cannot believes this happened to her then she has a hard time trusting anyone there then she has a hard time adjusting to their lifestyles. But all this was still very easy for her as fate would have it she found the gem of a person she couldn’t have found in all of South Korea. Later it is revealed that they had already met in Switzerland before but didn’t know each other back then and ended up forgetting each other.
This is a nice drama to spend sometime with, worth a try!










We are all aware just how creative minded the Korean shows are, if not, well here is another example.
In hotel Del Luna, so what? If you spend all of your life unhappy, after you die, they say, there is this hotel where the dead can get rid of all their regrets and go off in the paradise all happy. Hmm yeah ok. In this masterpiece, the staff apparently all have some major regrets because they all stick together till the end no on is willing to leave. The owner is a girl who used to be a thief and had this pack of her people whom she adored as family but then she fell in love with a man who has her entire pack killed and basically all things go south from there.
While having taken her revenge, she is wandering with the possessions of her people around this empty places and all of a sudden she becomes the owner of a hotel. Yeah, I know..




Anyway so after this completely normal occurrence, she settles in her new life apparently she is very attracted to the likes of money. The hotel she owns has dead guests, she helps them out while allowing them to answer her kindness with the money they had left in the world. She has all kinds of cars, jewels, dresses and occasionally goes out on food trips. Life is good.



But there is a catch she needs a human manager and the one she has is about to retire so she again uses her act of kindness in return for something and finds herself this human manager and after he somehow manages the hotel and overcomes the fact that all his new guests are dead people he decides to help out one more person.
Yes correct the owner, watch the series to find out more about it! Let me know what you think!

So here we are to talk about the recently highlighted Turkish drama called ‘Hercai’ which apparently translates to the meaning ‘pansies’ which are these lovely flowers but I read the work ‘fickle heart’ somewhere and now I don’t what to think. But with all the noise about the drama I’m pretty sure, you’ll know what I am talking about. So, this drama basically has the most typical plot of two rival families who absolutely hate and loathe the thought of each other yet can’t stop bothering each other every chance they get. And the next

part, many of you can guess, yes, their children end up falling in love with each other to the point that they are ready to fight with their own families and now that they are together, they are able to address the multiple misunderstandings that lack of communication was not able to solve.



In one of the family, there is this grandmother called ‘Azzize Hanim’ who was apparently the minds between getting the hatred going from there end of the family but now everyone seems to question her very biased decisions; it’s safe to say it’s all thorns for her mostly but of course she finds reasons to do her signature loud evil laughs at points.


While in the other family, there is this girl called ‘Yaren’ who is very heartbroken about many matters and unfortunately for the family, she is not one to quietly endure the feelings of heartache as a result the whole family suffers and struggles because of her and in order to get rid of her try to marry her off. It eventually happens but now the drama is hinting towards this secret identity of the person they married her off to as someone they don’t know.


All in all the drama is nowhere the end, so hold tight! Do let know what you thought of it!


Itaewon class is a story about reaching for your dreams and basically, its story is all about second chances. In Itaewon class Park Sae-ro-yi (Park Seo-joon) is shown as a kindhearted boy whose dream is to become a police officer. His teachers describe him as socially anxious because he has very few friends and he doesn’t feel comfortable in interacting with other people. That’s why his father was also worried about sae-ro-yi.
Park Seo-joon (Park Sae-ro-yi)

Sae-ro-yi’s father was an employee at a very big food company named JANGGA. As Sae-ro-yi was kindhearted so one day he saved his classmate from being bullied by Jang Geun won. Park doesn’t know that Jang’s father is the CEO of JANGGA. After that park’s school expel him, and JANGGA company fires his father.

After this incident, they both decided to start a business and earn money for their living through their own business. Park’s father died in a car accident leaving him alone in this world. For assaulting Jang he receives prison time, killing his dream of becoming a police officer. In the meantime, park thought on getting revenge on Jangga by pursuing his father’s dream of starting their own business.
Kim Da-mi (Cho Yi-seo)



After completing the prison time, he started his own pub called Dan Bam. All his employees are just like him in nature socially inept. Park. Cho Yi-seo (Kim Da-mi), is a social blogger and influencer. She likes park very much that’s why she started working in his pub as the manager of the pub. 


 Jang Geun-soo, Jangga’s CEO illegitimate son , a transgender Ma Hyun-yi also works at Dan Bam pub. Dan Bam is like home to all these people. All the employees of park are loyal towards him and work with whole heart to achieve his goals.
