My Favorite Korean Dramas on Netflix

Good Afternoon everyone!

So I love Korean dramas. They are quite creative with great narratives and they are quite heartwarming. Netflix is abundant with choices so I thought in this post I could recall some of my favourites so that you have some recommendations for entertainment if you are feeling down or just taking a break.

Fight for My Way
It has great inspiring characters who are living very relatable lives to a lot of us. In short, it's four friends navigating through their adulthood and trying to get out of unemployment and trying to keep themselves afloat and happy. They deal with unfairness but they overcome the unfairness in their own ways and they persevere through their problems. I really recommend this drama if you are watching Korean drama for the first time as it's a very relatable drama.

Strong Girl Bong Soon
It follows a girl who is superhumanly powerful and how she solves a kidnap with a game developer. There are serious aspects to it but it's balanced with the cuteness of all the characters. Despite her abilities, she also has ambitions and goals to create a game. The entire drama is very lighthearted and the storyline doesn't stray too far into the drama or heavier subjects.

She Was Pretty
This drama follows a girl who is not conventionally attracted working for a fashion magazine under her friend from High School who doesn't know her identity. Another funny and light-hearted drama with loads of great happy moments that take you away from reality. If you like Romcoms, you will love this drama.

Coffee Prince
This drama follows a girl who looks like a boy and acts like a boy. She ends up working for in a coffee shop where she pretends to be a boy. It follows when romance becomes involved in the mix. Again another drama that's pretty light-hearted and fun.

Healer
If you are looking for a mystery drama, this drama is the one. It follows a hitman and a reporter through their journey of trying to piece together what happened to them in the past. It's a gripping drama and I finished it within two days.

Kill me Heal me
This drama cover psychological trauma. It follows a system with dissociative identity disorder and the integration of all their alters becoming one person. The drama is quite accurate in terms of the disorder. It's not highly unrealistic either. The entire drama follows the healing of this person and also finding out what happened in the past that caused them to have this disorder.

Itaewon Class
I am still watching this drama but I am already hooked to it. It follows a young man going through unfairness in his life and losing relationship and family as a result of financial inequality. The characters in this drama show perseverance in the face of hardship and they all go through very heavy problems in their life.

I hope you find some entertainment out of these dramas. I hope you are doing well and staying at home and staying hydrated. I will see you in my next post!

Sincerely Sinthu

Why You Should Vote

Afternoon, everyone! Let's talk about the general election. It's just a week away and there are so many reasons why we should vote. The parties are all making so many promises and proposals for new policies. We need to get out there and decide what we want for the future. Regardless of whether you support one party or another party, just get out there and vote and make sure your voice is heard. Voting impacts how things are in your community and your life.  So why vote? Sure, you might say that you'll have no influence and no impact on the outcome. You might even be completely disinterested in politics and the news but not voting will mean that other people will decide how your entire world is run. From Brexit to education, from the environment to the NHS, it will be decided by someone else. Voting is deciding what policies should proceed and policies make real-life changes. Your vote will impact a whole plethora of different and important aspects of your life so...

SMART Goal Setting

Afternoon, everyone! So let's talk about goal setting. Who has set up a bunch of new years' resolution? Who has failed at keeping to it? I think it's safe to say most of us use the new year to improve ourselves in some way but often times it just doesn't work. I was taught a wonderful method of creating goals in therapy that has really helped with achieving my goals. According to the Chartered Management Institute , the technique was introduced by Peter Druker and G.T. Doran and has been praised for its effectiveness. So what is it? The SMART follows the form of an acrostic poem in which each letter of the word 'SMART' spells out a word that you should keep in mind when creating a goal. S pecific: when creating a goal, you have to very specific on exactly what you are seeking to achieve. Let's use running a marathon for example. Simply writing 'run a marathon' is not going to help you visualise exactly what you are seeking to do. It doesn...

How To Answer a Problem Question

Afternoon, everyone! Happy New Year everyone! So exams are around the corner so let's get back to basics. This is for my law students whose exams contain problem questions.  Let's go over how to answer a problem question. This post will be incredibly general so be wary of what is expected of you from your relevant module or criteria to make sure you pick up all the marks. 1) Read your question and highlight all the key variables. Usually, the last paragraph will give you an idea of what the examiner is expecting you to answer. Make a big mental note of this to make sure you are not putting down way more than you need to. Having this in your head will help you tailor your answer better. The key question is what does your client actually want to know? 2) When writing, introduce what the client wants advice on so that the examiner knows that you have understood exactly what the question is asking you to do. A simple one to two lines will be sufficient. 3) Is there a part...
