Drama Reviews - A Time Called You (2023)

A bit late to this but I'm a diehard fan of Jeon Yeobeen ever since Be Melodramatic, so this has been on my to-watch list for a long time. A Time Called You is about Han Junhee (Jeon Yeobeen) who loses her boyfriend Gu Yeonjun (Ahn Hyoseop) in a tragic accident in 2023, who then travels back to 1998 and inhabits the body of high school student Kwon Minju (also Jeon Yeobeen), where she meets Nam Siheon (also Ahn Hyoseop) who has the same face as her deceased boyfriend. Yes it's time travel, and its complicated!

Drama Reviews - Squid Game (Season 2) (2024)


Putting my Netflix subscription into use after a long time to watch Squid Game season 2. An intro of this seems redundant since who hasn't watched it, but just to keep to the format - Squid Game is a secret game where 456 players are brought to an island to play games and have a chance to win money to pay off their debts if they survive. Season 2 follows Gi-hun (Lee Jungjae) after he won the game, but now is intent on returning to the game to stop it from within.

December 2024 - New Zealand

Final trip of the year! New Zealand has been one of the places on the top of my to-go list, and so glad we finally made it happen! I prefer holidays that are about 1.5 weeks (too long and I get travel fatigue), so this time we went for 9 nights, focusing on the South Island only, arriving in Christchurch then driving down, stopping by Tekapo and Wanaka before going to Queenstown where we flew back from.

October 2024 - Seoul + Busan [BoA One's Own in Seoul]

Short 5 night trip to Korea recently for BoA's concert in Seoul! Since I've been to Seoul a couple of times, decided to take the opportunity to head to Busan for 3 days as well. We took Scoot from Singapore to Seoul, then SQ from Busan back to Singapore and it cost around $700 per person in total.

Drama Reviews - Revenant (2023)

Revenant is a series about Gu Sanyoung (Kim Taeri) who gets possessed by an evil spirit and a folklore professor, Yeom Haesang (Oh Jungse) who tries to get rid of the evil spirit. 

The horror genre of the show means that it wouldn't usually be on my radar, but this had Kim Taeri, plus glowing reviews, so I decided to pick it up after getting Disney plus. It was a great decision because this show was excellent.
