I find enjoyment in watching Korean dramas (K-dramas) during my leisure time. As someone who tends to analyze situations introspectively, I'm often engaged in evaluating people and various aspects of life, keeping my mind occupied most of the time. When I do manage to have some free time, I prefer indulging in light-hearted and entertaining love stories with happy endings – content that doesn't require overthinking. This serves as my way of taking a brief mental vacation from assisting clients with their challenging life experiences.
Upon discovering my interest in these small pleasures, people frequently inquire about recommendations. Consequently, I've taken the initiative to compile lists of suggestions. This not only brings smiles to their days but also adds a positive touch to mine.
