Hallyu Fever
Well, it was bound to happen. When I get obsessed over something, I get OBSESSED. (It helps to have a tolerant husband and kids....) Let us take, for example, my recent love for Korean dramas....
As per the suggestion of Rowena (Kamsahamnida, seonsaengnim! Thank you, teacher:D), I just recently watched My Girlfriend is a Gumiho.
Ehrmahgerd, you guys! Love love love. It has 16 episodes, and I watched the last half in two days...yup... The leads Lee Seung Gi (who is an amazing singer...swoon) and Shin Min Ah are just perfect for the parts. I even like the "villain" No Min Woo, who is officially the prettiest actor I've ever seen.
Let us all bask in the cuteness of Seung Gi....
I am also currently watching Oh Hae Young Again (mentioned here). Very different from Gumiho, and it didn't really pick up for me until about episode 3, but I'm loving it as well:)
So, this love for Kdramas has evolved into other aspects of my life....ahem....
I recently read The Birth of Korean Cool, and I highly recommend. Euny Hong does a great job (in my opinion) of explaining how Hallyu (Korean wave) gained its worldwide popularity. In particular, reading about the han and its influence on Korean movies, and how the Korean government played a big role in the spread of Hallyu were very interesting.
And also, the inside of our fridge...
I've always liked Korean food tho....
Anyhoo, this is how I make the boricha:
1) Roast uncooked barley until golden brown. Boil water with roasted barley (for about 20 minutes). Strain.
My skin care routine now incorporates mostly Korean brands, with some Japanese ones.
Guys, I'm not the only one who gets obsessive over these things, right?...Right?
Annyeong!

I am envious of your skincare, Emmy! And I'm actually trying to do the same, slowly transition to using only Asian skincare which I think is best for my skin...I mean, like duh, I'm Asian. Do you have a favourite Korean/Japanese brand? What about makeup? Are you using mainly Asian makeup too?
