Heard of Comfort Entertainment?



Ever heard of comfort food? A kind whenever wherever presented is perfect. Such kind of food which would sooth you and let you know that, "Yes, there is more to life. " whenever having a hard time. 

Similarly I've experienced "Comfort" in various things - place, people, literature, music and entertainment.

The concept of things present "comfort" actually comes from emotional attachment and experience. 

Korean dramas have always been a motivation for me, a way to make me feel better after a rough day or an argument or just presents me a break from the ordinary. 

Everyone has one that one song, book, food, person and even movie/drama that can go on repeat and never get bored of. Mine is the Korean drama, Cheese in the Trap.


Based on webtoon of the same name, Cheese in the Trap put forth various situation experienced by Hong Seol, played by Kim Go-Eun, and which all could relate to. Her thoughts of dealing the situations rightfully or 'missing-the-mess' is something which all of us would have done at least once in our lives.

Just like the promotional poster depicts Seol being trapped within her own space and somehow needs Jung, played by Park Hae-Jin, to help her out but he also being the source of some or well most of the issues.

One should read the webtoon to some extend before watching this drama. Many of the things are better explained in the webtoon, and somehow provides a background for each character mentioned here. 

Speaking of comfort show, this also has a scene where Baek In-ha tries to mess with a person who was impersonating Seol (due to some reasons). This scene feels fresh even on the 100th time (from 2.50 in the video). 



To wrap up, let me list down a few of my comfort things :)

- Comfort food: Maggie cooked by my friend
- Comfort song: Attraction by Tearliner ft Kim Go-Eun
- Comfort place: Balcony

Korean Bapsang and Book Exchange!

  So how are you all? It's November 2020 and approximately a year since the virus first started and now there is a shift in the living. A lot has changed, for the better and worst, many have sacrificed and/or healed in their on way. This period has made everyone to provide an action or search for purpose in life it might have provided opportunity for one or an answer to their existence - to reflect on. I was provided an chance to spend time with just myself for a period of time and I started off with two things I'm passionate about Reading and Korea. During my first isolation, back in June, when the first unlock happened in India, I understood the meaning of "being connected". It was not just limited to being f2f (which I love) but also virtually but not limited to the Internet. During this period my friends were providing me daily meals by leaving it by the door. Despite of not seeing or communicating with them much, I wasn't lonely. In fact I thought about other...

Finally found my favorite Korean Drama!

  It is not easy (more like impossible) to point out your favorite movie/book/food or in my case: Korean Drama.  My favorite Korean drama: Mr. Sunshine premiered on air & Netflix on July 7, 2018. I apparently saw it in the start of 2022 yet I'm unable to move on from it. I can rewatch it many times and yet feel the connection. πŸ˜™ Mr. Sunshine is the PERFECT example of show with strong plot, awesome cast, beautiful visuals and soothing OSTs .  I can talk a lot about this drama even (in Korean too as I am inclined to it !). There are a few Korean words which pop up whenever I reminisce about Mr. Sunshine: μˆœμ§„ν•œ ( sunjinhan ) - Innocent κ·Έλ¦½μ†Œ ( geribsoo ) - Miss You (old form) It has 24 episodes which span to an hour and an half covering the era 1871's Korea showcasing the influence of The USA and Japan. The chemistry between the two main protagonist are Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Ri is phenomenal and adored by many. There are many fan videos available on YouTube but my favo...

POV. An unlike combination: Korean drama and Netflix

  Do not jump to any conclusions right away! This is something that I observed in few of the korean dramas which were premiered on Netflix. Obviously Netflix is a great platform to screen content exclusively, giving the home theater feeling. However my point over here is how the dynamics of korean drama shifted after the introduction of Netflix.  For starters let's see the good side. Due to Netflix, the korean content is delivered widely and viewed with ease (dramas are released with sync to the on-air scheduled in Korea). One doesn't need to wait long for the content to be subtitled and yes without ads!  Many of my friends who wanted to watch the k-content always were short for sites or apps. I wouldn't ask them to have 2-3 sites and apps in order to watch it right? So yes, Netflix made it uniform. However it just doesn't telecast them but I guess it has some rights and production part in it too.  Some coming to the part of discussion - Korean dramas earlier didn't...
