They started their first date. Mi Rae was a conservative girl. She did not want anyone to know that they are dating. She don’t want to cause problem for Kyung Seok due to his good looking. When they are dating, they were like a spy movie to avoid any senior and friend that know them.  However, they relationship has been known by Kyung Seok's mom accidentally.

She decided to reveal them when anyone ask about it.

Tae Young broke up with Tae Hee. Yoo Eun suspected that Soo A was the one who behind it. Yoo Eun talked to Soo A and asked her to be honest with her if she has any issue. Soo A did not mention about anything. Soo A throw up everything after she ate at the toilet. It has been noticed by Mi Rae and Tae Hee.

She warned Won Ho to delete all her photo. Won Ho deleted all her photo as instructed. He found Soo A's action is weird and decided to find out what is going on. He informed assistance lecturer to help Soo A. Due to Soo A always fooled with guys, one of guys Dong Won  take revenge on her. Luckily, what he splashed on her face was just water. Soo A was traumatised and wanted to commit suicide. Mi Rae, Yoo Eun and Kyung Seok came over and resolved the problem. Mi Rae consoled and pursued Soo A not to judge people by their beauty. Do what ever she want to make her happy.

After the incident, Dong Won has been kicked out from college and faced legal action. Soo A was on leave of absence from the college. Kyung Seok and Mi Rae were happy to spend time together.

This drama makes me recalls my university life back then. The issues that faced by the college students and struggle to compete with one another. And also the start of hanging out with different people with different background. It is also show the sweetness of falling in love with someone during university years as many of them find their first love there. It was so enjoyable and memorable memories that time could not go backwards. I miss my university life now!

[Review] The Guardian of Galaxy Vol 2


Family, friendships, sisterhood, comedy

This movie emphasize the important of friendships and trust among the team members. Peter trusted Rocket and Baby Groot to look after Nebula while he, Gamora, Mantis and Drax went to another galaxy to visit his father.

Baby Root released Nebula as he believed that she can rescued Rocket when Rocket was being attacked by Yondu (Peter's adopted father) and his men. Nebula did not intent to save Rocket. She attacked Yondu and captured 3 of them. Although Yondu always enemt with Rocket, he did not intent to hurt Rocket as they are friends in many ways. Yondu has a royal servant who released them from jail. Yondu and Rocket worked together to raise the attacked in the ship and destroyed it. They then went to look for Peter and others in another galaxy.

Gamora and Nebula were sisters. They relationship is not good due to the way their parents raised them. Nebula always fight with Gamora due to the jealousy she had towards her. She felt she the one who always sacrifice herself for the good of her sister. She find it unfair. This did not stop them for lending hand to hand to stop Ego ( Peter's biological father) to concur the whole galaxy. Their relationships were then improved and forgave one another.

Mantis has a special ability to read the emotion of the person with a touch. She can also let the people fall asleep when the person has a negative emotion. Although she raised up by Ego at Ego's galaxy, she did not find it right for Ego to act in such a way to concur the whole galaxy. She betrayed Ego and helped Peter and the gang to stop Ego's greed.

Even though Baby Groot did not understand what others' speaking and always do the wrong thing, Rocket still trusted him and patiently informed him how to activate the bomb in order to take down Ego.

I find this movie very funny and excited. The visual effect is done very well which is full of imagination. The production team did excellently in their parts and I am excited to looking forward for their next movie.
