What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (a sensational TvN Drama released in the year 2018) is a romantic show which is also a modern-day fairytale filled humor, cheesy romance, with a classic tint of the age-old patriarchy. What's there to not like? Played by Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young, WWWSK is a combination and a wholesome package of the most dashing and beautiful actors playing the most heart-warming characters. The show does not shy away from showing the sizzling chemistry between the two leads and certainly is not afraid to talk about the realism of the societies around the world when tackling issues like patriarchy and mental illness. So join me as I try to find the relevance of the show in the ultra-realistic world around us.  Background Music Credits: Lobby Time by Kevin MacLeod. Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/3986-lobby-time.

Something in the Rain (aka Pretty Sister who buys me Food) is probably the best possible answer to how romantic a series can get without being cringeworthy. But apart from being a series that broke the norms of romance, the show also tried to create awareness and break multiple norms and taboos of the modern age societies which are prevalent in not only Korea but around the world. So join me while I try to discover the romance between Yoon Jin-ah and Seo Joon-hee. Background score credits: Sock Hop by Kevin MacLeod. Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4387-sock-hop.
