K-dramas

#1 Witch's Romance (2014)

Fancy watching a drama about an older woman and younger guy's relationship? Witch's Romance is the love story of Ban Ji Yeon, a single 39-year-old woman who is often called a "witch" at work and Yoon Dong Ha, a 25-year-old man who runs a small errand centre with his friend. Sparks fly when Ji Yeon and Dong Ha meet despite their age difference and they find a lot in common with each other, including their scarred hearts.

While younger-woman-older-guy relationships are always portrayed in dramas, it's not as common of a sight to see an older-woman-younger-guy pairing. If you are looking for something with a refreshing plot but is also entertaining, this is the one to watch. It's a light and fluffy romcom that is easy to digest, making it something that would be an enjoyable watch.

As a young girl, Hye Jin was impossibly cute and lived a comfortable life with her wealthy parents. But since her teens, her looks and fortune changed abruptly and is now living with her friend rent-free while working as a part-time clerk at a convenience store. One day, her childhood first love, Sung Joon, contacts her but knowing that he has grown into a handsome and fit man, she quickly hatches a plan to have her pretty friend meet him in her place instead. After luckily landing a full-time job, Hye Jin is surprised to find Sung Joon as her boss. 

As cliche as it sounds (but honestly, which drama isn't), this drama is also an easy watch because it's cute, sweet and funny at the same time. Watch this if you need a good laugh to cheer yourself up!
