I have been living in and out of Korea since 1999. I got my Korean citizenship in 2003 and it is embarrassing that after living in Korea for so long my fluency in Korean is stagnant at intermediate level.

I have many friends who visit Korea three to five times a year because of KPOP and KDRAMA. I never understood the fascination until I watched and fell in love with Gong Yoo in The Goblin.

The Goblin is the first Korean drama series I have ever watched from start to finish. Now I push myself to watch Korean movies and other series. I am so overwhelmed by all the Korean series available on Netflix. Pushing myself means being determined to watch the first episode. Usually I give up watching after ten minutes. Now I push myself to finish the first episode and decide if the series is worth watching till the end.

I want to tell my stories as autobiographically accurate but I don't want to embarrass my friends and family. I will share good stories and nasty stories. There are still more good people in the world than bad people. But it's a fact that bad tragic stories are more entertaining and interesting. 

These stories are based on my personal experiences, opinions and realisations. I cannot promise that every chapter is a hundred percent accurate. I have to change names and locations but I can 99% promise the anecdotes will be 95% based on true events.All Rights Reserved

The Foreign Exchange • lee jihoon✔ by happycarat01

You are an average American young adult, who decides to go to an Art school in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea to become a composer and song writer. But why did you pack up all your things including your cat to move across the world? You're not from there. You don't know anyone from there. So why are you spending your four years of college in Seoul? That's what you ask yourself for the first time as you stand in front of your new apartment. It cheep and clean. But there IS a catch.... All the past tenants report that the neighbors are loud. But who are they? And when you finally meet them, they are not who you thought they would be. As time goes by you grow closers with your neighbors... And soon you find yourself drawn to the overworked young lyricist. But after getting to know you for awhile. he pushes himself away from you. Why? That's what he asks himself everyday... . . This sounds super cliche, but it's not. It has a lot of original aspects that I haven't seen in a lot of stories. I just genuinely suck at writing descriptions :) [Started 9.22.16] [Completed 12.23.17]

The Heirs (Unedited) by smilingsky

I'll be writing this book based on the popular Korean Drama, 'The Heirs'. *Update* This book was originally meant for the 30 Days Writing challenge in 2016 but clearly I didn't do it very well, and slow updates are my thing now. So please be patient as I'll be back in just a few weeks to update again! The #30DaysWritingChallenge is where writers take the pledge to write a book of at least 10,000 words over the next 30 days (for the month of december). It is some kind of a irony since I have books concerning '30 Days' and I've recently posted an alternate ending for the sequel, do read it if you have the time. ;) The book/story will be based on TV shows/Movies/etc you enjoyed but wished the ending was different in one way or another, thus, this is my version of the ending for 'The Heirs'. There'll be a more detailed introduction for this book in the first part, and the words in that part shall not be counted to fulfill my pledge of 10,000 words. Do remember to vote and leave a comment if you enjoy the book :)

HATE YOU by Crystalhearted97

Her face , her voice and everything about her, I hated . I hated everything about her until I saw her on her knees. Bruised, crying and blood coming out of her forehead. This scene did nothing but to wake a beast in me that I myself was unaware of. As much as I hate her, no one absolutely no one has the right to even think of touching her and there they had beaten her that badly. They touched y/n? My y/n?! *** Getting married was the last thing that Jungkook had planned after being recognised as the youngest billionaire of the world. Establishing his own company and getting famous worldwide surely fulfilled his dreams but not for his parents. His life won't be similar anymore because his marriage has been fixed, oh no he had no girlfriend to object but still his parents had only one wish how could he deny. That unknown girl has created a really nice impression on his parents but obviously not on him, how could she? Talkative, childish, funny, clumsy and sarcastic the traits of her doesn't matches with the grumpy, serious and always perfect traits of his. While bickering is the only thing that happens throughout the house, will love someday blossom as well in their hearts? Or it will be forever the same "Hate You"

Will Emily and Lanne be able to handle what is coming their way? Curious to know what happens next?

Who is Yuna, and how does she become involved in Em and La's lives? This story was born from a hilarious conversation with my friend Emilypoole977 about the word 'shovel.' Little did we know what fate had in store for us, lol. This is my story, check out hers: Sad Cute Crab Guy (renamed Romance with crab lover) by emilypoole977 BTSx2OC (Disclaimer) I use Grammarly ONLY as an aid in proofreading. The most it does is show me where commas should be and where 'you' should be 'your' (I have a bad habit of dropping the r, lol). It also points out where there is an extra space to remove. It does not help me write the story or write my story for me.

SAVED ☆ Bang Chan [COMPLETED] by thevampywolf

I screwed up. I mean, really screwed up. I don't remember a time where I haven't screwed up, but this feels like I've gone past the point of no return. I've always thought that people wouldn't care. Wouldn't care if I suddenly dissappeared off the face of the earth. They wouldn't care if I was being beaten senseless on the ground. No one has ever cared, and I don't believe they ever will. Not really. Sometimes people just need a reminder. A reminder that they're worth it and that they're not alone. Some people just need a person they can trust. Some people are just so far gone that there's no saving them. How sad it is that I'm one of the latter. Trigger warnings: self harm, suicidal thoughts/attempt, depression, abusive parents, trauma, abuse, self destruction etc. Click on my profile to read SAVED 2.

Nothing in this story is related to reality. I respect everyone's religious thoughts. Copying other's work is not my cup of tea and I hope the same goes for you too. Ignore the grammaratical errors. Pardon me for that as English is not my mother tongue. Peep in to know the story in details.

Coffee, Simply by ginaandwae

She has had enough of her life, books a ticket and leaves for Seoul on a whim. Not even caring if she has or has not had her leave approved. Just leaving. Enough of what she has been getting. The abuse at work, and marriage that has ended. Scarred. The past that she has been trying to get over and being successful at it. But her heart is still battered. This need to change the cycle. For the search of something else different. She must be deserving of something else. Peace, maybe. In search of good coffee, in calmness she seek and the conversations that reciprocates within. Finding accidental love, and filling the emptiness she thought she never had and never deserved. Disclaimer: I am writing as the mind flows with no predetermined plots. And I have never been to Seoul. Personally I haven't gone through all stories in Wattpad, so please let me know if there is any similar storyline. Please bear with my punctuations, grammar and citing of inconsistencies in locations.
