Hi Everyone! I can’t believe I’m typing out a review for alcohol. Granted, it’s KOREAN alcohol, but still.. Take it as promoting Korean culture yeah? Disclaimer: Hangukdrama does not promote alcoholism, even though she does indulge in a bit of alcohol *ahem* every now and then. For the minors reading Hangukdrama, avert your eyes, scroll

New Optimus G + favorite novel = happy
Those who know me will know that I’m not really typical in a lot of ways. I love my tech gadgets, my books (especially Korean ones) and I will rather have a walk in library than a walk in wardrobe. Although I can’t be considered as a tech geek, I loveee playing with new technology,
빈둥빈둥
Out of all the onomatopoeic words in Korean, this is my favorite. Simply because this is what I love to do: laze around. I go through periods when I’m super driven and motivated, followed by periods when I’m just in a slump. I’m a 宅女 in Singapore. It takes a lot for me to agree
Cafeteria food in Korea
For those who are not familiar with the cafeteria system, it can be overwhelming at the start. Singapore has no such system (at least I haven’t experience it yet), and my first experience of cafeterias was in Yonsei KLI in 2010. Unlike other cafeterias in Korea, Yonsei’s one was relatively easy to figure out. There
[Book Review] Seoul Selection Guides: KOREA
With over 700 pages in total and a very generic title, KOREA looks like any other travel guidebooks on the shelves. However, it is everything a good travel guide should be and more. Normally, I won’t pay any attention to travel guides. Cramped with words, minimal and small photos, loads of generic sightseeing spots, weird
춘향전(春香傳) – 사랑가
OMG. Those who know my blog / know me will know that I’m super in love with pansori, especially the 사랑가 rendition by the famous pansori performer 안숙선. The next time I’m in Korea, I’m definitely going to see her perform live!! Sarang-ga is a song depicting the love story of Chunhyang. It’s one of
Korean CF Types: The dance, the star power, the drama
Another #notserious post. Korean CFs are 짱 (awesome). When I first came across Korean CFs a few years back, I was totally wow-ed by the quality and ‘feel’ of the commercials. They were very different from the commercials on Singapore TV, which I remembered being boring or overly cheesy. By the way, I haven’t watch
The 귀요미 song
Am I slow? Apparently this 귀요미 song / chant has been really popular in Korea these days, and parodied by quite a number of stars. 귀요미 is just a slang describing a person as 귀엽다 (cute). The original person doing it was supposedly 정일훈 (Il-hoon) of BTOB. The chant / lyrics is really simple. It’s like
Korean Torture Methods: 주리를 틀다
My posts are getting more.. morbid? Have you ever seen a sageuk torture scene where one guy on each side of the tortured is holding to a long pole each, forming an X shape and then pulling it.. and the tortured starts screaming like hell? The first time I saw such a scene in 해품달
[Photolog] 마장 축산물시장 Meat Market
[Raw meat / offals photos ahead] Going to markets and random places that few tourists will go seem to be my favorite activity in Seoul. Located within walking vicinity of Majang Station, the meat market is worth a visit. That is if you love meat, the uncooked version. Right in your face. I smartly chose
