Currently Watching "Cafe Minamdang"

I was running out of ideas for this blog. It's either Donbrothers , like Beast Morphers , has become my "I'm watching it so I can bash it but the yellow rangers save it!" guilty pleasure.

Sure, my first immersion into it was either Love Story in Harvard (and that's when I wanted to marry the lead actress) and got more into it with Kill It . However, Pride and Prejudice doesn't contain much eye candy for the men (Baek Jin Hee isn't pretty) and
