Annyeong! How has your summer been? 
          
          I've heard of heatwaves in the world, but the temperature has been very pleasant so far here in the north.
          
          Today, I updated my "about section". I also added an intro page and a few playlist songs to my current serial, My Alien, Unfortunately. I loved creating the moodboard image for Anna-Kaisa, showing what her calm life looked like before Yang Kuuk happened to her :D
          
          Do you prefer when the story begins right away, or do you like these kinds of introduction parts?

Episode 4 is scheduled to be released Friday morning Finnish time! This part contains a major trope in k-drama. The whole story idea was in fact born out of this theme. I'm sure you'll spot it :D

If anyone ever found My Alien, Unfortunately through the "gardening" tag, please let me know 

A funny thing happened yesterday. I found that I was ranked first in the tag "nuna." Delighted, I went to check out what other stories have this tag. 
          
          Well, all of them were Harry Potter fanfic. I have no idea what nuna means in that world, but must be something totally else :D 
          
          In Korean dramas, nuna is the older sister of a brother, and it can also be used by a younger man addressing a slightly older woman who is close. This tag fits my story perfectly, but might be misunderstoos on Wattpad. So, I had to delete nuna from my story tags, even if it granted me a short moment of glory :D
          
          I wonder what other tags there might be that only those who know will know.

Hello! Annyeong!
          
          Welcome to the story about Anna-Kaisa and Yang Kuuk, two characters with opposite personalities who meet by chance. 
          
          Being a huge k-drama fan, I've wanted to write a story about a Korean "oppa" whose romantic actions are totally lost on a Finnish, very practical woman. You know, the common tropes of holding the umbrella over her in the rain, grabbing her wrist after an argument, acting funny when jealous.
          
          But, as the probability of a k-drama-worthy male lead finding his way to her is close to zero, I made him come from another planet and crashland in her backyard :D 
          
          He's unfamiliar with real life on Earth, and she has no clue what romance looks like. Isn't that a perfect recipe for misunderstandings and bad behavior - real k-drama style!
          
          The story is written for k-drama lovers in the first hand, but I think it can also be enjoyed by someone who isn't familiar with the genre tropes. In that case, the reader can share Anna-Kaisa's bewilderment over Yang Kuuk's weird behavior :)
          
          Looking forward to share the journey of this serial with all of you. Please share what you enjoyed and what tropes you recognize.
