  • All the Reasons Why Nigerian Men Should Start Binging K-Drama

    Nigerian men troll Nigerian women for fawning over K-Drama men too much. But who complains when women from S.A, Kenya and other countries drool over Nigerian men?

    I’m here to tell you K-Drama isn’t the trash you think it is, you just need to see the light, which is exactly what we’ve brought you today.

    For romance tips

    Can you cleverly and tenderly catch women in your arms when they trip? There’s “romanzzz” to learn Korean shows.

    Recommendation: “Boys Over Flowers”

    Premium investigation

    Women make up the largest part of the K-drama fan base in Nigeria. There must be a reason why. Finding out what these women see in these shows may be the self-improvement you need.

    Recommendation: “Law School”

    A chance to learn new language 

    The world evolves every day. Your L1 and L2 are no longer enough in this new wave of globalisation. If you watch and learn well, you might even open a language school and turn it into a business.

    Recommendation: “Pachinko”

    Less toxic men to stan

    Not every time you’ll be doing like Peaky Blinder boys. Is Tommy Shelby’s trauma fun to you? Lee Min Ho and co are less problematic men to emulate.

    Recommendation: “King the Land”

    You and K-Drama men are more similar than you think

    In “Alchemy of Souls”, the king was moving like Nigerian men. First thing he did after shifting souls with the mage was go after the mage’s wife. What kind of bastard konji is that?

    Recommendation: “Alchemy of Souls”

    Your babe enjoys it

    You can’t dislike what your babe likes. It’s an unwritten rule.

    Recommendation: “Crash Course In Romance”

    Fashion sense

    Watch out for the villains especially; they always eat with their fits. Life is more than skinny jeans and baggy Balenciaga shirts.

    Recommendation: “Wang Taozhi Woos Madam Lim”

  • Best Boy Love Series You Should See Before the Year Ends

    For my people that love good boy love content, if you’ve been in need of recommendations. Sit tight because these six dramas will change your life and have you screaming, God, when! 

    KinnPorsche (Thai)

    If you still haven’t seen KinnPorsche by now, what do you have against enjoyment? How much more convincing do you need? It’s a story about  Kinn, a guy from a mafia family, who meets Porsche, a bartender, while fleeing for his life. Kinn asks Porsche to help him. Porsche being a smart guy decides to help him but for a price and I stan. This drama is packed with suspense, romance and a bit of violence, so viewers’ discretion, please. Also, maybe don’t watch this one with your parents, e get why.

    Cutie Pie (Thai)

    Cutie Pie is a twelve-episode short rom-com that follows the life of Kuea Keerati, a university student engaged to Lian Kilen Wang, a CEO. Someone say God when, please. Kuea loves Lian but trusts a rich man like Lian to prioritise his work over his relationship. As someone who is very anti-love, this made me feel very mushy, just so you know what to expect. 

    Semantic Error (Korean) 

    Who doesn’t love a perfect love story between the shy, quiet nerd and the outgoing, overly friendly himbo? Chu Sang Woo is a talented computer science student. He managed to keep to himself until he got put in a group project with Jang Hae Young.  This drama made me want to scream because why were they so cute?

    Oh! Boarding House (Korean)

    If you’re single and you watch this drama, just prepare to be jealous. Seol Won’s mother runs a low-cost boarding house. Since he’s out of work and she needs to go to her hometown, she entrusts the boarding house to Seol Won, which is how he meets Kim Cheol Soo, a teacher and his love interest. You know it’s a good drama when they find love in unconventional places.

    Love Class (Korean)

    Love Class is a sweet drama about finding love and community. Cha Ji Woo is a university student in love with a classmate Bae Yu Na. Unfortunately, she doesn’t feel the same way. One day a course demands that people pair up as  “couples” to complete a project about love and Ji Woo finds himself paired with Lee Ro Ah, a guy. Like every good project partners to romantic partner trope, this will leave you feeling good for a long time. 

    First Love, Again (Korean)

    First Love, Again is the type of boy love drama you’d watch when you’re in a drama slump. It has just six episodes, and unlike the rest of them on this list, it’s a fantasy drama. This drama follows the life of Yeon Seok, who was in love with Jeong Ha in his past life, except in this life, she reincarnated as a man.

  • These 7 Characters Deserved Better in All of Us Are Dead

    Warning: There are spoilers oh

    All of Us Are Dead is a 12 episode long Netflix original zombie apocalypse TV show. If you enjoyed Squid Game, it’s not the same thing, but you’ll totally enjoy this show too. And maybe learn something about surviving in a zombie apocalypse if suffering is your kink.

    1. Cheong-san

    He immediately took on the role of a leader, thinking of new tactics to keep them all safe even after losing two people important to him. He was a little too stubborn and naive sometimes, but if you are ever stuck in a zombie apocalypse and you want to stay alive, find a Cheong-san. 

     2. Ms Park

    She kept motivating the students when they had lost hope and was the only teacher that considered alerting the kids about the outbreak, although it was too little, too late. Ms Park even tried to save Na-yeon when she ran away. The kids really liked her. Too bad niceness doesn’t keep people alive.  

     3. Nam-ra

    For slapping Na-yeon when none of us could, she deserves all the best things. This babe got infected and fought it as long as she could, using her newfound powers to save her friends when they found themselves in tight situations. She deserved better than she got. 

     4. On-jo’s dad

    This man went through hell trying to save his daughter, even when he wasn’t certain that she would be alive. He got shot at, fought zombies and the Korean military, even went against the oath he took to save lives. He went through hell for his daughter right till the very end.  

     5. Gyeong-su

    He was Cheong-san’s best friend, and they had one of the best friendships. His only flaw was that Na-yeon maltreated him, and he argued that she deserved to die. He saved her life and that of their friends, and how did she repay him? By turning him into a zombie. 

    6. Ho-cheol

    This character probably had some Nigerian spirit because I would do almost everything he did. Baba was the only logical thinking character in the entire series. Telling the police officer to leave the kids was kind of dark though. He might have also abandoned the said police officer for wanting to save everyone, but he came back so yay! He had a very short screen time, but he made us laugh throughout and we are glad that he made it out alive.  

    7. Dae-su 

    Was he annoying sometimes? Yes, but he was also really sweet, and it’s just unfortunate that all the babes he liked turned him down, in a zombie apocalypse. He had some endearing moments though, like when he sang and helped raise spirits on the roof.  

    Bonus: Orangibberish

    This guy was an extremely stupid character, but he made for good comic relief. He was busy doing influencer duties during a zombie outbreak and I almost wish they ate him tbh. Man’s was live streaming for people that were safe or just didn’t care, a big olodo.
