Review on Thrice Married Woman (Korean Drama)

She mentioned that she was watching Woman who married three times, or Thrice married woman and after finding that I can follow this drama on  Viki.com  I thought I would give it a go. (Viki.com offers subtitles – my Korean is not yet up to par!)

Korean Concerns…

Diya

Hello fellow bloggers…..! It appears I brutally abandoned my blog site for a while. I went through a series of ups and downs and ins and outs.. basically and came full circle! This blog started off about being an outlet to document my journey to Korea. I wanted to go and work there. To soak in the atmosphere of this lesser known country. Many people have asked me what is my desire to visit such a place when not much is known about it..Which is sort of my point… We know about Japan, and also China. Many people tend to … Continue reading Korean Concerns…
