Reminiscing School Days

And the one fine day,

we took off

our school uniform

and never wore it back

Another thing you guys need to know about me is that I am a sucker for high school drama especially Chinese dramas because they in my opinion do it the best. I don’t care about the storyline or the characters because I just want to see the high school; the classroom, the friendship, the exams, the scolding, the teachers, and the vibe. Through these Chinese high school dramas, I relive my school life. Legit I was watching a high school drama the other day and I told my best friend that I just miss my high school corridors, I miss waking up in the morning for my school, I love stepping into the classroom, and I love seeing my friends face light up when the whole group gets together. All my fellow people who understand me might imagine how much I am missing my school life right now. A guilty confession of mine is that I was that kid who would say in my last year of high school that I would not miss my school and here I am writing this post, well nice choice of words you have used past me. Even though studies are a huge factor for students, we still possess a carefree attitude. I still remember how happy I was in school, maybe because the word ‘future’ remained unknown to me. All I cared about was the present moments of my school life. Now as an adult, there are not many restrictions, however, my life feels the opposite of carefree because the future has made me very well aware of its existence. Seriously I am so grateful to have beautiful memories of my school that I will cherish forever.

This post was supposed to be a review of a Chinese high school drama however my emotions went through and I got lost in my sentimental feelings that I didn’t even realise when this post became a post in itself so here I am posting it and the next post will be the drama review so stay tuned for that.

The backbenchers,

the high-school lovers,

and the class toppers;

Now, in different parts of the country;

their class photograph still held them together.

Happy Ending…???

She promised herself better and never looked back.

Can we ever have a happy ending? Will we ever be at that stage where we are content and happy from the inside? Will there be a time in our lives when we sleep peacefully at night without stressing about what the next day will bring? Will there be a day when we will cheerfully wake up to see the sunrise and have tea with inner happiness? Randomly staring at the view in front of us without thinking what the day is going to look like, without thinking what kind of work I need to do today, without thinking how much I have to do? What are my deadlines? Just being content and happy, I have realised there is no price to it. It’s priceless as no amount of money can buy those moments and we can only achieve it in a way that will first break us thousands and millions of times. I don’t know and I think nobody knows how the road or the path will be but I do know that if you want to achieve you can and will. I don’t know how but this thought went through my mind while watching a video where there was a happy ending but the third time I was thinking will I ever be able to have a happy ending in my life? Will I ever be satisfied and content? I think yes definitely I will, I mean I am going to work for it and I know you are too going to work for your happiness. I hope until then I continue to blog and when I start to feel my life is getting better, I am achieving things I want to achieve, and I am happy and content then I will share those moments with you all.

You will get your happy ending trust me, not now maybe but I believe you can achieve everything you ever dreamed of. Take the first step, trust me it’s the most crucial step. Otherwise, how would you know how capable you are of so many things you want in your life to achieve a happy ending?

Keep watering yourself, you’re growing

Why is life not magical ANYMORE?

Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now.

Why do you think your childhood was magical? Because you were a child no! Because you were present at that moment because you lived in that moment. My childhood was amazing, I was an athletic child who loved to play 24/7, I can’t believe I am that same person but again as we grow up the line gets blurry between real enjoyment where you feel content from inside and the one where you have to pretend you are happy. In childhood, the biggest stress was all about marks, that’s it. And now when I think about how my childhood passed and imagine how she would be feeling about how the older me is doing is kinda crazy to me right now. The biggest dream in childhood was to become an adult and then we could do everything, how many lies there were? I don’t know why I did not meet any grown-ups in my childhood who had told their adult stories which would make me aware that adult life is deranged. Maybe now it has become crazy and it is safe to say that as time passes by the world is becoming crazier.

So why can’t adult life be magical? I mean I am the same person, right? I am the same person but now I have seen the world in its not so glory, I have seen the real world, the world where I need to work in a way that makes me want to become a child again. As an adult, we are always either anxious about our future or regretting our past, and this is one of the reasons why we fail to live in the present. I know overthinking is a part of adult life, but you are doing your best. We adults need someone who can tell us it’s okay if something goes wrong, and live in the present. Life will always have ups and downs but we have to find the little happiness embedded in them. The present is what we have, and the future is going to be okay, you are going to do it, believe me. Live a little and life will become magical again.

Untitled feelings.

Stillness. Quiet. Solitude. Fresh air. Finding my rest.

The thing I want to get over is the feeling of nothing. When my feelings are all over the place nothing can bring me comfort, no movies, shows, books nothing the more I try to do something the more I feel empty. And honestly, that scares me a lot because those feelings last for a long time and I can do nothing about it. Only time can heal me, I need to feel more sad, I need to think about it until it’s over and that is how I cope with those feelings. Life becomes crazier when you grow up and let me tell you it will not even let you breathe for a second and something is already knocking on your door. The feelings are tough to seek out because they are deep-rooted in your soul and never leave you, it’s all about knowing how to manage them. I never knew it was possible to feel so many feelings at once and at the same time no feelings at all. I have learned that how you react to them is more important and it will lead to how it will affect you emotionally. The game about feelings is that it will come at the most unexpected time and will make you feel so numb. Like sitting in a group of people you are talking happily and something triggers you and you can feel the smile slipping away. I have learned that it is all in you, the second you learn to control your feelings the stronger you get.

I am not telling you to become emotionless or void of any feelings. No, it is totally fine to feel as many feelings as you want. It is okay you are human and we are meant to feel every feeling and each feeling is void. I am telling you that sometimes it’s alright to step back and rest, to let your feelings seek out themselves, to let the time heal you, and it is alright if there is nothing that can work out at that time. Everything will be okay, you are strong, and you are a warrior who just needs a time break to seek out untitled feelings.

alone or not you gotta walk forward

Review: ‘Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo’ K-drama (2016)

“We can’t do anything about the people we hate. You’re pretty and popular, but that’s not everything. You should be a decent human being first.” – Kim Bok-Joo’s father

I will never stop raving about this K-drama ever. I am not usually someone who has comfort dramas but this right here proves me wrong. I watched this drama years ago but I remember every piece and how much it has brought me comfort. If you watch K-dramas you might know that the male leads are often portrayed as cold-hearted and serious. But this drama brought back the male lead who is unserious, comedic and crazy. So basically it is about Kim Bok-joo who is pursuing her dream to become a weightlifter, she gets a crush on her friend Jung Joon-Hyung’s older brother Jung Jae-Yi. 

Let’s start with Kim Bok-joo, she is so funny and cute. Her whole friendship group is hilarious and she did an incredible job of portraying an athlete. Her father runs a chicken shop with his brother and both are hilarious which adds no boring scenes to the drama. The main focus is also on their food and how a weightlifter has to maintain their body. Even their eating scenes are full of comedy. I love how she has a crush but is clueless about how to express herself. This is where the main hero, Joon-Hyung, comes into the picture. He tries to help her but each scenes turn into comedy. There are a lot of comedic scenes that went viral and still make me laugh.

Jung Joon-Hyung is a masterpiece character written in K-drama history. He is so unserious, hilarious, and unhinged. He is a swimmer with a past and meets Kim Bok-joo in college again. He is a green flag and truly gives her the right advice. His acting is on point, the hilarious face he makes or unhinges talks of his takes the drama to another level. They became good friends and their scenes were so calming because you can see how a beautiful relationship they have created. The confession scene is iconic, it’s the right word to describe it. She is so clueless when he gives her hints about his feelings, it makes the drama more hilarious because of her response.

The chemistry is electrifying. Even after they get into a relationship. The bond of their friendship still surfaces. They are still hilarious and a teenage couple trying to figure out each other. There is so much depth to their chemistry that I loved every moment of theirs. I think their pair can maintain a romance and comedy to their relationship which is one of the reasons why I loved this drama so much.

The plot focuses on sports, friendship, love, food, comedy, and the depth of being surrounded by the people who love and encourage you in every step of your life. I highly recommend this drama. Watch it if you want something different filled with comedy, friendship, love, and food.

Change it up!

Change can be scary, but you know what’s scarier? Allowing fear to stop you from growing, evolving, and progressing. – Mandy Hale

People, I will begin this post by saying if there is something on your mind and you are afraid to do it but it will bring you a new start, let me tell you just do it. Life is scary and it will never make you feel less scared. I am going to say that nobody has the power to change the life you are living except you. First, you need to accept that life is scary and hard and make yourself strong to live it. There are many moments in our life, where we are afraid to take a step because change is scary but anyway life is scary and what is going to happen will happen nothing can change that. But you have to make that change in your favour, you need to change it up. Give it a try it might not work out but that does not mean you are a failure. Remember the strongest mind is created because of failure and the lessons it taught us. Sometimes change is what we need to find the path in our lives and it will not be easy but living a life is all about taking risks and working on them. Change is unpredictable and is all tied up with fate, however, what if I tell you to do it, do what you love, take up the courage and choose the path that you know will somewhere in the future make you happy, and is there another reason I need to give so just change it up!

Tears won’t fall…

Some cry with tears, others with thoughts…

Lately, my feelings have been all over the place and because of that, I am feeling a lot of different emotions that are very eccentric. The post feelings nowadays describe why this post comes into the picture. You know when at a certain point in your life you come to realize how different your life has become in just a certain span of time. The growth and the development of career and education are a whole lot of different things. However the inner emotions, the feelings, the difficulties all of these make you feel that you are the most stupid person in the whole world. And what is that sucks you know when the emotions are dead there is nothing you feel, you are just going with the flow. It is said that when the feelings are overwhelmed in the heart then you bleed with the eyes, and the tears prove that you feel hurt. However, one thing I realized late is that the heart also bleeds and it shooks up the soul in an unimagined way. But now everything is changed when we say a cold-hearted person does not feel anything you know why because the emotions are dead. There is a wall between the heart and the feelings that is not letting the heart feel anything the tears won’t fall.

It hurts but at the same time, you feel nothing, it’s like a body without a soul. Does everyone go through this phase in their life or is it just me? Your heart bleeds too when it gets overwhelmed by the emotions and your tears are not falling from your eyes. You know now everything will change how you feel, how you used to be, and how you will be. It gives the situation that even though you are surrounded by people on a buzzing street but still from afar you look like an alone person covered in a black hoodie that hides all their pain and emotions. Now all the feelings that were left for others are over, you only need to focus on yourself and your mental health and maybe that is why tears won’t fall…

The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face. They’re the ones that fall from your heart and cover your soul.

Review: ‘Vincenzo’ K-drama (2021)

“If you walk alone, you reach quickly. But if we go together, we can go far.” – Kwak Hee Soo

“Vincenzo” this drama has me in a chokehold and I will never be able to escape it. I went into this drama blindfolded and it was the best decision. It was so good because everything was unexpected and in a good way. I typically thought it was a Mafia drama so it would have a lot of action and heroic scenes but it was filled with comedy. So basically in a Mafia world, they try to keep it low and do not get engaged with anyone until somebody challenges them. And I think that was portrayed really well in this drama I saw some people want more Mafia types of scenes. But Vincenzo Cassano as a Mafia lawyer needed to keep it low to not get attention until he was challenged and he truly showed his ability. I love how this show portrayed that the Mafia not only includes action but also intelligence and Vincenzo rocked it.

I loved the courtroom scenes they are hilarious I would say that expect the unexpected where you would expect something you would get unexpected scenes. Hong Cha-young, the girl she is and I love how she is portrayed, a little silly, crack-head, and noisy, but at the same time intelligent and confident. Vincenzo is one of my favourite fictional characters, he is handsome duh, but honestly, he has control over how to deal with people and circumstances. He knows some problems are inevitable and he will face them and how he smartly has many plans to deal with so I think that really made him stand out.

Now let’s talk about the main heroes of the drama, the Geumga Plaza family or the Cassano family and how each of them helped and stood with Vincenzo till the end. The bond they created with Vincenzo and Hong Cha-young was so beautiful and the main star of the show. Then comes Jan Han-seo, he and Vincenzo created a brotherhood that he could not find in his own brother. Ahn Gi-seok, we need to be forever grateful for him and the way he helped Vincenzo. The whole family stood as a shield for Vincenzo, their cornsalad and protected him with their life and it was so heartwarming to watch. Special shout out to Inzagi if you know you know.

“Regret is the most painful thing in life” – Vincenzo

The chemistry between Hong Cha-young and Vincenzo was beyond the words. Actually, they prove that friendship is the most superior form of love and even one real friend is enough. Jang Han-seok is one of the best villains created in K-drama history and all the drama really kept me at the edge. The plot was engaging, dark, entertaining and super fresh.

The only thing I hated in this show was the prosecutor should have been tortured more, he died very easily and I still can’t get over it. He was the reason why most of the problems happened.

I loved the ending, I think it suited the drama very well. I know some people wanted a happy ending but I think the open ending suited it a lot and gave a realistic meaning to the drama. I highly recommend this drama.

Review: ‘Hidden Love’ C-drama (2023)

“He’ll have his family in the future. He has me and many others who love him. We all love you” – Sang Zhi

I will just start by saying that I love this drama so much that I literally think about it every single day. The chemistry, the visuals, the love, the friendship, the bonding, the maturity everything is good in the drama. This drama tells the story of Sang Zhi who at the age of 14 gets a crush on her brother’s best friend, Duan Jiaxu. Now here is one of the reasons why I love this drama more is because he never weirdly looked at her but only as a sister until she turned 19 and he realized his feelings. This is what hooked me to the story, he never romanticised her or thought about her in a weird way when she was a minor.

As you know how so many dramas create female leads as childish and immature this drama right here proves everything wrong. She is a lovable person and she is so thoughtful towards Duan Jiaxu from the moment she gets to know him, I think it is not enough to talk about how much of a green flag Sang Zhi is. She cares for Duan Jiaxu and is very sensible and mature for her age literally even Duan Jiaxu is shocked to see how someone can love him so much.

This drama also breaks the stereotype about how every time a female lead has to suffer, she becomes a problem to the male lead. Talking about Duan Jiaxu, I just want to say he is a man that every woman desires. He is so strong in the amount of things he has dealt with and still can smile and care for others is so courageous. He understands Sang Zhi without any words spoken. He literally cried when he learned how much Sang Zhi loved him for such a long time.

I love that both equally love each other so much. He is there for her and she is there for him. They both trust each other so much which is like a jackpot which is hard to win. There is no break-up, they handled the problem so gracefully and I can see that both were never ready to let go of each other. Also, I love Sang Zhi’s brother, Sang Yan he is the reason why they got together.

The OST is to die for, every time it plays I also sing along. The cinematography was breathtaking. Also, the whole drama is just focused on them there is no second lead couple, it is just basically them which I loved because then we truly can enjoy every aspect of the drama and couple properly without getting bored. 

The vibe of the drama is so cute, chill, and just beautiful. It is like a breeze of fresh air that we need very much. Highly recommend this drama, please just watch it and thank me later.

My Rating: 10/10

Genre: Romance, Brother’s Best Friend, Youth

“She helped me out of the past, I’ll be responsible for her future.” – Duan Jiaxu

Why are unfinished stories more beautiful?!

Love is like war…easy to start, difficult to finish and impossible to forget.

As I have already said, I am not a huge romantic type of a person so feelings naturally do not come to me. However, some days ago I watched a 17-minute short film where the love story remains unfinished and let me tell you I bawled my eyes out and then decided to write this post. It’s a controversial opinion but for me, the ending does not matter if the plot serves its purpose perfectly. The short film included two people who love each other yet can’t be with each other and never confess and trust me that kind of love definitely hurts the most. Love has many parts; one part makes us feel like we are on cloud nine. However, the biggest part about loving is being each other’s strength and facing challenges together. If I read a book or watch a drama I love to see the bonding and how the couple love each other despite the ending. Nobody can change the ending but that does not mean the story can’t be beautiful. Unfinished stories hurt the most, but those stories are like masterpieces about what a love went through to not have a happy ending. I think it’s common that we hear about ancient stories where it is always talked about how two souls have done so much for each other but fate plays its dice and not let the two soul mates be with each other. These are the stories that are more heard and more loved. Because it has such a beautiful depth that brings tears in the eyes and goosebumps on the body. And it is said truly that true love stories never have ended it is loved by everyone and heard by everyone. Unfinished stories set an example of how difficult love is and it is not about the physical but the soul that resides in it. I know it hurts to just think that two people who love each other are not destined to be with each other, nothing can bend fate but that does not mean that unfinished love is not beautiful. Trust me unfinished stories are so mesmerising that you just want to wrap your hand around them and ask how two people can love each other so much that they are ready to sacrifice. Ending this by writing that unfinished stories are the only thing people can find beautiful and heart-wrenching.

They call it a mystery. I call it love. In both cases, the story remains unsolved and incomplete…
