I've been meaning to write another drama review since a long time ago, but I didn't have enough time to put my train of thoughts in order. As you might have noticed, I (used to) like to watch Korean drama, especially when I was still doing my undergrad study - or to be precise, when I was lost in doing my thesis. LOL. However, I'm pretty selective in choosing what to watch or not. We're talking about drama here.

So, this post will be the first of a series of confession of a (not-so) aca-fan  which will be updated (hopefully) regularly.  Full House Well, my first encounter with South Korean (hereafter Korean) pop culture was perhaps watching episodes of Full House  on one of Indonesian television broadcast station - if I remember correctly. I wasn't a fan of the actors and actresses at the first time I watched it, but later was drawn to watch more of Song Hye Gyo's work . What drew me first to Full House  was a desire to watch a fresh romantic comedy which saved me from boring Indonesian soap opera with many eyes-widening-kind-of-acting. Though its storyline was probably not the best when I come to think about it later (for instance: I cannot accept the fact that a best friend sold her friend...
