Drama review: Nightmare Teacher 악몽선생

Hello!! This past few weeks I was having exams. Though I couldn't say that they all went well, but I decided to take a little break (more like I couldn't resist my urge to watch something). So, I decided to watch a short Korean drama (as in less than 20 minutes for an episode). To my surprise, this drama is extremely good and although I have never written a review about a drama, I decided to write this. "It would be good if others can get something from it," that's what I think. 

So, this drama that I want to share is Nightmare Teacher 악몽선생.

It is about some mysterious events that happen in a school. It all starts when a temporary teacher replaces an injured teacher and wants to give counselling to the students, which he claims that the counselling will benefit them. However, the counselling he gives is not an ordinary one. It seems that the students who went for his counsel, have their wishes fulfilled, but disappear mysteriously later and no one remembers about them. The class representative, Kang Ye Rim feels that the empty tables belong to someone but could not remember it and she sees a sentence "do not go to the counselling room" written on one of the tables which ignites her curiosity. 

What attracts me about this drama is not only about the refreshing idea and amazing storyline, but the moral story behind this drama (my interpretation, so maybe you have a different one after you watch it). This drama, based on my interpretation, is mainly about inability to resist temptation and greed. In this drama, the students succumb to their greed after given a little try of "magic". They want more and more, and some even stray from their original path, which lead them to a repeating cycle of doing the things they wanted. However, in the end, they realise the consequences of their greed or the price they need to pay in return of their greed, are one that is so important to lose or so much of a burden to bear, that they want to return to how thing was supposed to be. However, what done is done. Nothing can undo the situation unless it is all but a nightmare. 

This thing happens in our everyday life. There are many temptations in this world that lead us to stray from our path (like what I'm doing now, watching too much drama, leads me to neglect my studies... 😅😅and etc), which made us regret later. So, what I want to say is that, be brave, be true and be more confident in yourself, and hopefully with all the effort you put in, you can get what you want. Of course, these are also a reminder for myself, as I am not the discipline type of person. 

Well, that's all I want to say in this blog. Let's all work hard towards the life we want!! (Now, back to study, back to study @.@)

Internship Experience in Ryokan (旅館 - Japanese-styled Hotel)

Image
'いらっしゃいませ' (Irasshaimase!)、'ありがとうございます' (Arigatou gozaimasu!) Very common terms but the most polite terms. These 2 terms accompanied me during my whole internship period.  If you do not know, I internship-ed in Japan for 2 months in the service industry. To know how I came across this internship opportunity, click here .  The ryokans, aka Japanese-styled hotel, that I worked in were Takimotokan Yukinosato (滝元館遊季の里) and Umi no Hana (海の花). They are luxury ryokans strategically located closed to tourist attractions, which provide great hospitality and ultimate relaxation to the guests. Both are ryokans with private and public onsen.  Since the main topic today is my internship experience, I'm not going deep into information of both the ryokans today. I will be writing more information on both the ryokans and the surrounding attractions in another post, or if you can't wait for it, please visit their website! 1. Appearance The first thing I...

Internship Experience in Ryoutei (料亭)

Image
Ryoutei is a luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant, which served kaiseki style meals for business and formal meetings (source from Wikipedia). Everyone that goes to a Ryoutei has a purpose. It is not just a simple filling the stomach meal. It can be a business meeting, a celebration, a family meeting, a book sharing session, a reunion, a party or any occasion you can think of, which is why the customers going there are usually dressed formally. Having said that, anyone are welcomed to visit a ryoutei to enjoy the exquisite, delicate meal prepared by a qualified chef and served by the beautiful omotenashi-san (something like waitress?). However, do remember to make a reservation in advance as meals are prepared freshly according to the number of customers. The ryoutei I worked in is called Shikiryotei Sukeroku (粋料亭　助六) currently managed by Okami - Chikage Nakamura and her husband, Hideyuki Nakamura, who is also the head chef of Sukeroku. During my whole internship experie...

4D3N in Hong Kong (part 2)

Image
Hi! Happy Chinese New Year!! Continuing from the previous post . DAY 2 We woke up early for breakfast at the Hong Kong-ians' favourite DIM SUM! We went to a dim sum restaurant near our hotel and ordered about 12 items as my sister and I were starving (planned to stuff as much as we could as we knew that the food in Disneyland would cost twice as much as the usual food price). We thought that 12 items were quite the normal amount until the waitress turned around and confirmed with us the amount of food that we ordered. Were 12 items too much for 4 people?  These are some of the items that we ordered. If you are not sure what to order, try order the items that are marked with a star. Those are the recommended items.  Right after the sumptuous breakfast, we immediately headed off to the must-go destination - Hong Kong Disneyland. Going to Disneyland by MTR is not a mission impossible. In fact, MTR in Hong Kong has the easiest route from all the places that ...
