Lessons
Hi, Blake here. I spend too much of my time watching TV but I think it is a perfect way to learn some important life lessons from the comfort of your home. I am quite an eclectic binger of stories in general and I thought why not become a blog essayist focusing on life through fiction.
Here, we can explore some of life’s big questions through pop culture with a focus on Korean drama.
Why K-drama? Pretty simple—-I have been an expat in South Korea for the past 15 years.
When it comes to movies and books I am that person who always finishes regardless of whether it turns out to be trash. As I find we can still learn valuable lessons from both high quality and low tier content.
What makes me different from others, is that I am willing to give my unadulterated opinion whether you ask for it or not. Hopefully, my erratic taste will give you the chance to explore topics or genres that go outside your comfort zone.
Hello, Hello, Hello!!!
Just a person on the internet hoping to share the stuff I learned from watching too much TV. Let’s get smarter, one TV show at a time!
