Okay. Take a break from blogging and it really is sometimes way too hard to get back in the saddle again. Just like my writing. I haven’t written anything in a very long time and find it really difficult to get back into the groove with creative writing. Anywho, after a long radio silence, DramaFever updates!

So I started watching the Ugly Duckling series out of technical order. I watched the first 6 episodes of Ugly Duckling Don’t which is the third part of the series. While waiting for more episodes to be uploaded, I watched the start of the series Ugly Duckling Perfect Match. Before continuing on when more episodes were uploaded, I started the

I like watching multiple versions of things. I really do. If something is based off of a book, then I don’t call all of its variations remakes of whichever drama or movie came first.
