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

Despite of not seeing or communicating with them much, I wasn't lonely. In fact I thought about other...
