    Go or No Go: Amazon Prime’s Curtain Call Pilot Review

    ,

    If someone were to ask me who my K-pop bias (that’s K-culture slang for your #1 or favorite, usually among the members of a K-pop group), I won’t be able to answer right away. But my Korean actor bias is without a doubt, Kang Ha-neul. I first saw Kang Ha-neul as Hwang Yong-sik in When the Camellia Blooms, which I binge-watched in 2 nights. After that, I just know I had to watch whatever show or movie he is next in.

    Anyway, since I am already subscribed to Amazon Prime Philippines to finishThe Rings of Power, I was notified that there is a new KBS show called Curtain Call (커튼콜). Naturally, I clicked on it and see if it’s a Go or No Go.

    I just started watching Fight for My Way on iFlix and I instantly fell in love with the show. I’ve heard this K-drama before from my friends who are addicted to all things Korean pero hindi ako nakinig at di ko pa rin pinanuod. 🙁 Hi friends, I know you’re proud of me.

    Hunting Down “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo” Filming Spots in Seoul, South Korea

    ,

    I was stressed the week before and during Holy Week so I did something crazy: I booked a flight bound to Seoul, the land of Kim Bok Jo , the next day! Okay, it wasn’t all that crazy. It’s just crazy for my pockets. I was crashing a Korean spring trip of my friends (who booked their tickets last year btw). Not having time to regret my decision, I had to go home straightaway and pack my bags!

    My friends were going to Nami Island and considering I’ve been there three times already, I passed and decided my trip to visit all the filming locations of the latest Korean drama that I fell in love with: Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (Korean title: 역도요정 김복주). Exploring the city alone was no problem but the fact that no one was there to take my picture made me second guess my decision. All’s good. *tears*

    Here are just five of the best Kim Bok Joo filming spots that I found. Enjoy!
