Continue readingI am a snacker, I love to snack while I’m watching my dramas. The problem is, I want to eat what I see on the screen or at least something similar. When you live in an area where there isn’t an Asian market, that’s a real problem. So while I was watching Let’s Eat a few years back, I went on the internet to see what kind of food I could order online. I discovered Snackfever and decided to give them a try. Three years later, I’m still excited to see the box at my door. I got my box this week and thought I’d share this treat with our readers. Continue reading
Since everyone is in Crazy Rich Asian love The Maknae and I decided we would go the extra mile and read the book. Come join us as we share our thoughts on the novel.
Many many years ago I came across a blog and couldn’t stop laughing. It was witty, entertaining, and had a unique writing style that was very engaging. Through a series of comments, the blogger and I (a noobie to the blogging game) became friends. Eventually, real life caused this blogger to no longer be able to blog full time and she decided to join the DWASOK family. During the summer you are privileged to experience this blogger’s entertaining reviews. Yup, I am talking about our very own DramaRookie. So I am equally as excited that she spent the last year working on a Kaddict themed novel Flower Boy Tour Guide. The book I will be reviewing today.

“The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes sixteen-year-old Genie Lo’s every waking thought. But when her sleepy Bay Area town comes under siege from hell-spawn straight out of Chinese folklore, her priorities are suddenly and forcefully rearranged.
Her only guide to the demonic chaos breaking out around her is Quentin Sun, a beguiling, maddening new transfer student from overseas. Quentin assures Genie she is strong enough to fight these monsters, for she unknowingly harbors an inner power that can level the very gates of Heaven.
Genie will have to dig deep within herself to summon the otherworldly strength that Quentin keeps talking about. But as she does, she finds the secret of her true nature is entwined with his, in a way she could never have imagined…”
I started A Love So Beautiful and then stopped after the first fifteen minutes because I tend to dislike dramas where the female lead is not very intelligent. Something kept niggling in my mind, though, so I decided to watch it again. I am so glad I gave it another try! Here are my first impressions and unfiltered thoughts:
