Synopsis

No Eun Seol finally gets a job as a professional secretary at a large conglomerate after struggling with unemployment, only to fall in love with her boss, Cha Ji Heon, the immature youngest son of a chaebol family. 

It is not their first meeting though...

Refreshing! The synopsis is not one of my favorite, but the drama itself is my favorite Korean drama so far, just like that and I fall in love with the drama. Unlike the mellow usual dramas, this drama kept me laughing for many times. There are many funny moments happen in various situation and time. There is a part of it reminds me the story of Cinderella, regarding the shoe. 

The female lead is so strong and there are many unexpected events created. She learns on how to love and she only cries for reasons. In my opinion, the director is brave enough to create different reaction expected to seen from the so classic Korean dramas, imagine a Korean drama without an evil aim at all, no bad guy or girl, problems are intern and touching. It has another couple beside the lead, they are so cute as well. Each unique character has their own specialties to love. I love the bromance (cousin) relationship shown (not the same-kind-love liaison) and the friendship occurring between the female lead and her rival. They also tell the ongoing daily (as a learning conclusion) for characters. The ending was a marriage and a portray of them kissing under an umbrella.

The awkwardness among new people

Hi there...

Semua pasti pernah deh masuk ke lingkungan baru yang kita ngga kenal seorangpun? Atau kalau kenalpun cuma basa basi busuk? :p Misalnya waktu ganti sekolah atau masuk kerja, nah ini dia nih, rasa aneh yang gw maksud, beda lho sama rasa ngga nyaman kalo lagi nunggu di dokter atau makan di restoran sendirian. Rasanya beda karna beda beban untuk beradaptasinya. Kasus gw adalah gw baru masuk kerja lagi (pas seminggu waktu gw nge-blog) dan rasanya aneh aja karna meskipun kantor gw seruangan lumayan banyak orang juga, tai gw ngga bisa liat mereka semua secara langsung pas gw kerja karna gw di ruangan yang lebih kecil lagi sama satu senior gw (strategic planner juga sekarang tapi ngga tahu sampe kapan sebelom di-promote).

Wajar aja kalau mereka itu pasti hubungannya lebih deket karna jangka waktu yang udah dilewatin bersama juga otmatis lebih panjang. Dalam hal ini gw setuju, karna pasti deh waktu itu menentukan seberapa terbuka atau deketnya orang, gw juga punya temen-temen yang ngga akan terkikis waktu. Nah gw nih biasanya rame abis, cekikikan, asik, dll (dalam arti positif), tapi di tempat baru ini (setelah sebelumnya beberapa bulan di tempat kerja lama juga diem-diem alim aja), gw anehnya blom bisa blend-in kaya di antara mereka. For the note, bukan salah mereka juga sih, cuma gw-nya aja yang kayanya agak lain sama dulu sebelom gw kerja di tempat lama. Setelah ada kejadian, gw ngerasa lebih frail, sensitif minderan, takutan dan jadi banyak pikir.

Semoga aja seminggu penuh yang udah lewat adalah masa adaptasi yang cukup buat gw maupun mereka dengan kehadiran gw di tempat baru ini, kan kadng kita takut ya mau ngapa-ngapain sungkan, maklum anak baru. Misalnya manggil nama, ngga tau sopan ngga (gw panggil pake mas dan mba juga sih), masuk tempat orang atau pake barang orang atau duduk di kursi orang (takut dikira invasi), banyak nanya-nanya maksudnya biar kenal (takut dibilang pengen tau banget), mau becanda (takut garing dan jadi sindiran), wiiih pokoknya banyak deh yang jadi bahan pemikiran (ada hubungannya sama gw yang Libra ngga ya?) haha....

Tapi praise God-nya, senior gw yang seruangan dan otomatis deket banget posisinya itu anak Tuhan dan ramah juga, meski gw agak mikir sih, takut dia ngerasa gw kaku atau gimana gitu karna sekitar hari Kamis atau Jumat, ada aja yang dia ceritain sama temen-temen di luar tapi ngga cerita khusus ke gw, maklum kalo cerita khusus ke gw, temen-temen luar pasti ngga dengerin, tapi kalo ceritanya ke temen-temen di luar, pasti gw kedengeran. After all, moga-moga this awkwardness among new people disappear soon, supaya besok dst hari-hari kerja jadi momen menyenangkan bersama teman-teman dan bikin kerjaan jadi enteng dikerjain.

Amin. Ehhh, moga-moga kalo ada pembaca yang lagi ngalamin pengalaman serupa tapi tak sama, juga didenger doa dan harapannya yaaaa

Breast cancer and the school of life

My mom has breast cancer, that's fact. I'm with cancer chance higher than normal person, yes. That doesn't make us unwilful to live, on the other hand in fact, we evidence changes. We see world differently.

We had short courses on cancer, especially breast cancer. We heard stories from others who are in treatment, who were healed, who didn't survive. We live among them, we just often close our eyes and don't wanna realize them.

I saw tears. I saw hopes dying. I saw pain. I saw malformity. I saw kids crying. I saw families gather.

I think this is a chance for people to stumble or rise. No one wish to face this kind of illness. Everyone hopes that they will be healthy forever. Yet, life sometimes chose first for us and let us choose how to face it. I prefer to face it with God, definitely with almighty God.

Each day we're learning something in life. It's called the school of life, a school knows no ending. We learn from life, to live the life. So let's learn well and I believe in the end, we'll be someone who can pass the test.

Keep in spirit for all cancer people.
