Let your reading take you to South Korea.

The whole world never imagined waking up one day with a deadly pandemic that will shake everything up. COVID-19 is different from the previous ones. It is the real-life Thanos. Like Goblin’s Grim Reaper prowling day and night, spreading fear.

Then quarantine happened. We learned to be self-sustaining: planting our food, baking our bread, trimming our hair, and entertaining ourselves. As social beings, humans lived the solitary confinement imposed upon them so that they can live on and cope.

How about you? What kept you sane at that time?

As for me, when the lockdowns came, the K-drama floodgates opened and I was in front of it enjoying the swim and saying in Korean: “gwaehchanh-ayo!” (It’s alright. No worries.) Thanks to my Netflix and Viu subscriptions and to a dozen friends who had been suggesting Korean teledramas. The lockdown is when my incurable wanting for K-dramas has sprung.

This book is simply about a K-drama fan who discovered a new world, an escape from the morbidity and paranoia that this generation’s pandemic has brought. Read into the author’s mind as she staves off the burden amidst the lockdown season, getting by with a lot of help from Netflix and friends but with a little bit of a twist.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Inspired by the character Ten (an author played by Choi Siwon) in the She was Pretty, Se (세), or Three, is a first-time author who writes for and manages her crowdsourcing travel blog. She is also a media/marketing consultant on the side. Before the lockdowns, Se had been traveling abroad and domestically. The pandemic moved her to write a memoir that chronicles her months of confinement while on government-mandated home quarantine. Writing her first book about her newfound enthusiasm for K-drama during the pandemic helped maintain her emotional and mental health.
