Dalja's Spring

After a long day at work, all I wanna do is prop myself at the couch and watch TV. I find it especially relaxing to watch Korean dramas. And not just any kind of Korean dramas, but romantic comedies, the funnier the better. The first Korean movie I watched was "Please Teach Me English". I laughed out-loud and non-stop! Sometimes I will watch it again just to destress. Seriously, do get a VCD of this movie if you can or watch it on Crunchyroll.

Currently, I am watching Dalja's Spring, which is pretty funny too. It is also an insightful observation of society, females going for younger guys and highly educated females remaining single. What I really like are the beautiful drawings featured at the middle or end of each episode. They try to sum up in a drawing the main gist or key incident of each episode. I think Koreans are really creative. For Princess Hours, they also ended each episode with cute teddy bears replaying a key scene in the episode. Check out some of these cool drawings below:

The show is about a 33 year old female who is accomplished in her career, financially independent yet no achievement romantically.


She wonders when her prince charming will appear and is constantly in self-doubt as to why she is still not attached. She thinks perhaps it is too late for her and she will remain a spinster for life.


Yet, through a series of events, she finds herself in a often dreamed about situation, a love triangle with two guys vying for her affections.


She finally chooses the guy who is six years her junior. And lives happily ever after.....?
