One question, 4 words and 14 letters. There are two kinds of people. One who’s “What? Who is Messi? Why are you asking me that?” and two who’s exaggeratedly overjoyed while pinching her fingers for a while with a flip of her hair saying “… … .” Oh! Sorry, she’s still screaming inside and if you ever meet a person like this, kindly call 911 or give her a kdrama as her first aid.
Do you still remember the first kdrama you’ve watched? Why do you think you entered the world without exit doors of kdrama? Believe me or not, once you’ve become curious about kdrama, you need to have second thoughts. Take it slowly. Fill in your life plan. Ready your life insurance. Think twice if you want to get married. And if those don’t matter to you then you don’t need to hesitate. KDrama world is waiting for you. Earth is just your second planet. //insert mindblowing sound effects
“This is nothing! I’m just a simple viewer! KDrama is just like watching any ordinary series!” Ops! Think again, girl! Have you ever felt some strange or inhumane symptoms?
Is it still morning? Is it already night time? No girl! You’ll forget the existence of the wall clock or you’ll forget why are you wearing such a strange looking bracelet with integers called watch. Girl! All of your usual lifestyle will change! Before, you eat lunch on time, sleep on time, make your homework on time and even take bath on time! Personal hygiene? 8 hours of sleeping? You won’t even care if you feel like dying!
“Just one more episode! Last episode and I can …” Ehem-ehem forget it. KDrama is already part of your body before you can even deny it.
“What’s my type? I just want a boy with a good sense of humor and live with him in a simple life.” No girl. You’re lying to yourself! Simple? SIMPLE? Uh-uh. It’s not simple to fall in love with someone who never knew you exist. You can touch him, all the parts of him but you’re gonna wonder why is it just flat. You’ll wonder until you realize it’s just the screen of your laptop. That laptop? You’ll start to pretend that your laptop will be his body and his lips. You’re gonna hug it when he cried ad you’re gonna kiss him when he’s cute and hot. Your standards for man will be so high. All men around you will just give up because you expect so damn high. It’s because your standard in men will be someone who is like a piece of art, freaking good in every single thing, perfect in every angle, expert in sitting and standing still but the aura! Girl, the aura is just mesmerizing!
Korea is slowly eating you! Your accent will change. Your outfit will change. Even though you live in a tropical country, you’re wearing long thick sleeves and paired with a scarf. You don’t care if you sweat all day. Your actions and attitudes will also change. Girl! You’ve become a new person! It will be up to the point that you’d wish you have a Korean blood running through your veins.
Your dream career will never be stable. When you watch medical drama, you wanted to become a doctor. When you watch law drama, you wanted to become a lawyer. And then you also want to be a chaebol, k-actor or k-actress, chairman, producer, nurse, and any lead character’s career.
Your perception in life will change. You thought your life is so miserable like you’re an orphan child, living in a cruel world, getting revenge to that evil chairman who surprisingly, killed your parents. Your revenge will start on making her daughter fall in love with you but apparently, you fell in love with her and then the chairman found out your true identity. The chairman is running for president and he plans to kill you, you needed to defend yourself and accidentally killed the father of your lover. The lover found out and whatever, the rest was history. Just remember, you’re just sitting on a warm couch or bed or floor, still reading this nonsense article, studying or working, eating and living. I don’t care what kind of house you have. At least, there’s a roof above your head and you’re still reading when I already told you this is nonsense.
Anyway, if you did not understand a single thing that I’ve said, then you should stop reading this and start watching. After that, you can already answer the question yourself: Do you like Messi?

2. City Hunter
In 1983, the South Korean president and his delegates are visiting Burma when a bomb planted by North Korean agents explodes, killing some high-ranking officials. This historical event is called the Rangoon bombing (also known as the Rangoon incident). To strike back, five South Korean officials plan a covert operation, codenamed "Operation Cleansweep," to enter North Korea and kill several top members of the North's high command. Lee Jin-pyo and Park Moo-yul, two Presidential Security Service bodyguards and best friends who were present at the bombing, organize a 21-man team for the mission. However, as the team wreaks havoc in Pyongyang, the five officials abort the plan to avoid an international crisis if the mission is discovered. Their major concern is that the United States will withdraw its nuclear protection if the mission is made public, in light of Seoul's official declaration that it will not retaliate.
