~ Hello! A few days ago, I began watching ‘Izakaya Bottakuri’, a Japanese drama that’s got a Midnight-Diner-meets-Samurai-Gourmet vibe going. Quiet honestly, I have a weakness for local diner J-dramas where stories are told with food as the main hero.

These beautiful screencaps were even more reason to have an episodic-stills series for IB. Enjoy! ~🌼

| Episode 1: Izakaya Bottakuri |

Just high-key into Soo-Ji Baek eating voraciously and heartily in ‘Let’s Eat 2′. So of course, I had to create a series of her nom-nom GIFs. 🔥

Dear Dramas,

I don't think it was coincidence, our meeting. I think it was a well thought-out plugin in the divine plan of things. For which, I am deeply indebted to this shiny Universe.

Dear dramas, before you, I felt like belonged elsewhere. I felt as if I was stuck in the wrong time period, the wrong era and I was probably suited better to belong in a time, a few thousand years ago where life was simpler, people were nicer and love was still the best feeling in the world.

For the longest time, in the world of modern romance and friendship, I felt like a complete misfit. I could never relate to hook-ups, random break-ups, casual friendships or mind games. Unfortunately, television and the internet were filled with a lot of the above. Hence, quite obviously, I wasn't into "watching" things.

But Dear Dramas, imagine my pure wonder when I stepped into your world. A world where I fit, a missing piece in a biiiiiig puzzle. A world where I found other pieces like me. Man, I finally belonged and you know what? IT WAS THE BEST FRIGGING DAY OF MY THIRD DECADE OF EXISTENCE.

I came in weighing heavily of some cruel heartbreaks, but you slowly open me up to the idea of 'good' love, 'pure love' once more. I came in weary of people, but you teach me to remain soft and open to real friendships, possibly coming my way.

When I met you, I carried a ton of hurt and pain, a disdain for relationships, and I was on the verge of turning emotionally passive. But your stories, dear dramas kept my heart from shutting out the beauty of life and its people.

I cry with you, I laugh with you and sometimes, those past moments of pain surface and are gently washed away when I watch the people in your stories choose each other, over and over.

Dear Dramas, you make me a better person.

Your worlds and characters travel with me, inside me, comforting and guiding me on some of my roughest days. From you, I always learn something valuable that helps me be a better version of myself. When I'm with you, I become a part of your stories. When I'm with you, I learn to appreciate things which I may have taken for granted.

Then there's this big perk: you have the prettiest Asian folks in your stories but they go beyond just being pretty faces. It is their characters that imprint themselves in my mind and heart with the lessons they teach me.

I learn to not give up on love, because of you. I learn to let work fill me up, because of you. I learn the beauty of trying and trying some more, while I also learn the importance of knowing when to quit. I learn patience and resilience and the power of failure in leading me to success. I learn all of this and more, from you, each time, all the time.

I place humans secondary to you, my dearest non-living yet heartful creatures. Because it is your stories that have led me to my light, have helped me discover it even when it gets too dark, and have stood by me when I've forgotten to appreciate it.

Dear dramas, you are the best gift I could I have asked life for. Thank you for you.
