Review
There is no doubt that this drama is perfect. Ever since the first episode the story is gripping and keeps you going ( I could not stop myself from binge watching it ).
The actors are well chosen and are just perfect for their roles. Jan Ki-Young and Jin Ki-Joo are actually new actors and have really done very well in this drama.The chemistry between the leads (young and older) is exeptional.They looked very cute, campatible and yet sad together. Heo Joon-Heo is a villian that I loved to hate , his acting as a psychopath is exquisite.

On the whole this drama is beautiful.It skilfully narrates the story of a psychopath's family and the emotions they go through. It is rare to find a drama that highlights both the victims and the perpetuater's family.

And to all those people who fear sad endings ,not to worry the ending is a beautiful and a happy
 one :)

Rating : 4.9/5

Rewatch value : 5/5

Let me know in the comments section below if you liked the drama ,also suggest some good asian dramas like this one if you know any .
Until next time then , 
Ciao

Gen z ? IGen ?

Social generations are cohorts of people born in the same date range and share similar cultural experiences. Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1995 and 2015.  Members of Gen Z are true digital natives: from earliest youth, they have been exposed to the internet, social networks and mobiles. This generation is most likely to have never known a mobile that isn’t a smartphone. All these factors have given rise to a hypercognitive generation that is very comfortable with collecting and cross-referencing many sources of information within minutes. They are able to integrate virtual and offline experiences. Which of the following Gen Z characteristics do you identify with? Identity Nomads Gen Zers experiment with different ways of being themselves and to shape their individual identities over time. Gender fluidity may be the most telling reflection of “undefined ID”. Gen Z seeks uniqueness in all walks of life primarily through the brands

Metanoia

Just another day of summer vacation,plain,no plans with friends and simply boring.I was lying on my bed, mindlessly scrolling through my phone, switching between instagram and youtube, when I came across an app that I had stopped using, pinterest.Although Pinterest is great,but, for me, it represented a failed attempt to start a blog.Boredom got the better of me, and I decided to take a look at Pinterest. On my feed, I came across the word - metanoia. Metanoia in Greek is literally ‘change of mind’ often translated as “repentance". But this kind of repentance is not about regret or guilt or shame; it implies making a decision to turn around, to face a new direction. Something, I really badly needed at that time. Life was no fun, I had no idea what I was doing.And maybe, because of this,I had trouble sleeping, I was constantly anxious about my future.I wanted a goal to pursue but didn’t attempt to find goals.Something had to change, life shouldn’t feel like this. A lot has

Recently, I read 1984 by George Orwell. The book is well written and insightful on political dominance and oligarchy. I could see why this book is highly recommended. While reading the book, I came across a phrase - ' Inequality is the price of civilization'. Although this phrase was meant to justify the harsh treatment of citizens the extreme rules under the part rule, it is simply even today. And this may not necessarily be bad. Most people today have equal rights, may be treated with equal respect and dignity. But without inequality, society as we know it wouldn't exist. A civilization invariably requires laborers, doctors, traders,teachers and all other professions.This is simply the structure of a social system. In the most basic sense, if man and woman were to be biologically equal, human beings would cease to survive. Therefore, inequality is in the essence of life that is, our differences our necessary. The world needs people who can stand out and be
