Nostalgic

While many were following You from another star and going ga-ga over it (my mummy included as she just jumped on the bandwagon), I didn't managed to watched pass episode 3.

There was no particular reason but I just don't find it interesting enough to keep on watching. Funny as it is but it is just not appealing enough to me. Perhaps I will go back to it after I finished what I was watching.

I am currently following Emergency Man and Woman by TVN diligently. Initially due to running man only female cast - Song Ji Hyo acting in it but found the story to be attractive enough for me to follow through.

Then while channel surfing 1 day, I chanced upon another show by TVN- Answer me 1994. This story is based on 6 20 year old students from other provinces in South Korea pursuing their college education in Seoul and staying in a boarding house.

Watched the 1st few episodes only but it sure catches my attention. Though I don't really follow the cultures/ styles of  1994 South Korea but there are some similarities between South Korea and Singapore during middle to late 90s. Pagers, Sega games, cassette & video tapes, queuing up to use public payphones using coins/ phone cards, big ass monitors, DOS not windows. It sure stirs up the nostalgic feelings.

I love how the friendships are portrayed in this is show reminding me the close friends I made during my poly days. I like how the characters acted so naturally and is not typical South Korea melodrama where usually it is more focused on the lead actor and actress love line. Though there is also a love line in this series but the story line is about 1st love of the 20 year old which also reminds me of my love life during my 20s.

I don't know all of the actors/ actresses cast in this show, only can recognized the shorter girl who appeared in Running Man once and also Na PD(who had a cameo) because I watched Grandpa over flowers. Haha.

Most of all I like how it brings us back to the days where life are much simpler.

Suddenly I realized that TVN produces better shows than the other 3 broadcasters since I am watching their 2 TV Serials and 1 variety show -Grandpa over flowers in Spain. Hehe. But then again, it maybe me only.
