All the Exciting New Korean Dramas Coming Out in July –– Recommendations
We are honestly on a Korean Drama roll lately. After what have been a not-so-good dry-as-sahara 2018 for KDrama lovers, I think they more than make it up for it by popping out all these awesome dramas.
If you know me at all, you know that I am usually never the one to complain about having too much to watch. I mean, if anything, suffocate me with good dramas/tv shows/books and what have you. There is no such thing as way too much when it comes to all the above. However, with how many good shows that these entertainment companies have been releasing, I can’t help but want to wave my white flag in the air. The girl honestly cannot keep up.
I already have 4 Korean dramas that I want to watch line up, not to mention I need to rewatch Stranger Things (because duh), and that Spiderman movie that was just released, oh and not to mention; hundreds upon hundreds of books that lie waiting in my Kindle, ripe for the reaping.
Your girl is swamped by too many things to watch, read and absorb that I sometimes wish that I have a clone so that I can accomplish way more at once.
But all is good in the world because we all know, as much as I like to mope around and complain every now and then, I do really enjoy what I do. And I am truly thankful for the fact that I get to watch/read/rave about something and have someone like you, dear readers, care enough about my opinions to read through these blog posts.
