Kdrama (sneak peek) - Jirisan

Not surprising on the rating. This is one of the most highly anticipated dramas this year. A story about the rangers and other employees of Jirisan National Park, as well as incidents surrounding the mountain.  Just watched the first 2 episodes 3 days ago.

Netflix Movie Review - Fatherhood (2021)

Matt, a single father who just lost his wife unexpectedly hours after she delivered their beautiful baby girl, Maddy.

But every child is their parents' strength. I love that the movie showed the real life struggle and appease to the supports around Matt when he is having a hard time to raise Maddy. The family, the friends, the office. We learnt from this pandemic that work if flexible everywhere nowadays, and it gives him more space to be there for his daughter. Being a single parent also should not stop a parent to pause a moment and think about him/hers
