This is a difficult one for me as I just love to eat in general. Believe it or not my favourite snacks are healthy snacks. I love Nakd bars - particularly the 'bakewell tart' and cocoa orange' flavours. I also love Nakd nibbles (especially the toffee and fruit salad ones). Another healthy snack I enjoy are Bounce Balls (favourites are Cacao Mint Protein Bomb and Spirulina Ginseng)
As for less healthy snacks, I love chocolate brownies, cookies, chocolate gingers, lindt dark chocolate and After Eights. I also love Ferrero Rocher; not to mention Rafaello (the coconut version) and Rondoir (the dark version).
As for crisps/chips - I love Eat Real Quinoa chips (I munch through 2 packets of these a day). My favourite flavours are sundried tomato & garlic and sour cream & chives). I also like Tao Kae Hi Tepura battered Seaweed (despite its name it's actually produced in Thailand)
I've seen Our School ET, Dasepo Naughty Girls and Wet Dreams. I thought Dasepo was hilarious (it's an acquired taste; either you get it or you don't). I also really enjoyed Our School ET. I thought Wet Dreams was alright, but just run-of-the-mill (it's more a boys film I thought). I've watched the first ep of Boys Over Flowers, but I didn't take to it (probably because I'm such a big HYD fan). I'll need to check out the rest of the movies/dramas you mentioned. Thanks for the article.
Thanks for the great article ParkChohwa - I love school dramas. I thought 'School 2015' was amazing and 'The Harmonium in my Memory' is one of my favourite Korean movies. I also love dramas that are partly set in High School (like Playful Kiss and Delightful Girl Choon Hyang).
I'm also addicted to Japanese school dramas (like LIFE and 35 sai no Koukousei). Korean and Japanese school dramas are completely different in style too. I'd love to know - does anyone know of any Taiwanese school dramas?
.... Although the drama itself is quite far-fetched, the bullying in it was VERY realistic. I'm so glad that So Young actually began to feel something in the end (because in real life, bullies rarely do).
I gave it a rating of 10 (my very first 10 ever). I agree with kuku below who said the drama is not so much about the romance, but rather the message it's sending out. Although the

Last week. Two episodes to go and then it's done. I really hope all the characters get a happy ending (except So Young - I hope she gets what she deserves).

I LOVE this drama! One of the best I've seen. I would have liked it if Eun Byul's two friends had more screen time though. I think this drama could run for at least 20 episodes (instead of 16).
I only just watched 'Thorn' last night. It's quite a slow & atmospheric movie (you won't enjoy it if you don't like slow paced films). I thought the young actress was brilliant, although the wife really irritated me (how could she be so clueless?). I'd gave it a 7/10.
What does everyone else think of the Teacher guy? At first I thought he was quite irritating, but he has really started to grow on me. I think he's quite handsome (well, for a teacher type character). I'm really starting to like him. I like how he genuinely seems to care for his students.
Just wondering - does anyone else get the sense that Eun Byul was a bit of a bully (or am I alone in thinking…
You know something, this drama is actually keeping me awake at night (I can't sleep from thinking about all the possibilities & different scenarios). It's driving me mad (but I love it).
Just wondering - does anyone else get the sense that Eun Byul was a bit of a bully (or am I alone in thinking this?). Am I getting the wrong end of the stick thinking Eun Byul done something awful to Soo In? Is it possible the twins are polar opposites - Eun Bi being a victim of bullying (and attempting suicide because of it),and Eun Byul being a bully (with the possibility that she drove someone else to suicide). Surely I'm not the only one thinking this?
Another tip - watch some drama specials. I was having terrible withdrawals after finishing Sweden Laundry, but then I came across a bunch of Korean specials (they're around an hour & 5 mins long). They were a lot better than I was expecting and they gave me the same 'feel' that dramas give, that you don't get from watching movies. They certainly took the edge of my post-drama depression. They're also good if you don't have the mental energy to start a new drama nor the time to watch a movie. My favourite drama specials so far are 'Glass Bandage' and 'Three Female Runaways'.(you can get these on Youtube).
You've made me hungry again, LOL. This is a very insightful article - it shows there's far more to Japanese cuisine than just sushi & miso soup (something I can't bring myself to like, no matter how many times I try it). Also, don't those desserts look amazing?
I'm glad you included matcha too (I love the stuff). I enjoy drinking warm matcha oat milk (I put matcha powder through oat cream, with a little bit of soya milk). I know it's not exactly how the Japanese take their matcha, but it tastes great (and the oat cream takes balances out the bitterness of the matcha).
Cinnamaroll, thanks again for a wonderful article!

Well done on a very good article, ParkChohwa.
In fact, there isn't a song/tune from Hana Yori Dango that I didn't like.
