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 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 :)

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.

Will Emily and Lanne be able to handle what is coming their way? Curious to know what happens next? There's only one way to find out: dive into the story and see how Em and La navigate the unpredictable world of K-Pop pet sitting and love. =D Em meets her bias, Namjoon. Lanne meets Ki, Namjoon's personal manager, and it's an instant connection, but someone is jealous, and his initials are MYG. What role does the Red String of Fate have to play? 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.
