There was no dramatic plat or betraying or stereotype etc. It was just normal. Plus, it doesn’t have a third person who would break Wei Wei and Xiao Nai’s relationship. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Nai only sees Wei Wei and vice versa.

Guys, did you watch the new season of Produce X101? Actually, I wasn’t going to watch it. Like I watched the previous seasons but when I saw news about this new season I was like “Seriously?! Is it gonna be like Greys Anatomy and got 15 seasons or what????!!!”
But then, today I just watch a cut from the show. And I was shocked when I saw one of the contestant.
It was Park Sun Ho, the actor who played in A poem a day, Hospital Ship. Like whaaaaaat??? Why?? So I continue to watch until his part and wow there are some handsome face ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (๑╹ω╹๑ )
Anyway, his part was so emotional I nearly cried when I watched it. Sometimes fate is a bitch, when you thought you will succeed you end up to screw up. But that’s life what can we do? Nothing. Just keep believing in fate.
I recently found a new pearl: this music.
It has been a long time since I heard Chi Pu sing, and it is not disappointing at all. It was rather deep, emotional and pretty sad.
This MV actually traces the story of Tam Cam with the point of view of Cam. This tale can be considered as the Vietnamese Cinderella. This fairy tale is pretty famous in Vietnam, I would say that every Vietnamese know this story.
Here is the story: Tam ( means “broken rice”), a beautiful young lady lives a miserable life tormented by her stepmother and half-sister Cam, both considered Tam as their slave. In fact, Tam spend her day to do chores, feed pigs and go to fish. When night falls, she has to husk rices.

She did not only kill her one time but four times. And Tam succeed in resurrecting four times. She finally found her husband again and start to really have her own happiness.
Parents used to tell this folktale since it is simple for children to understand, and we can learn some things through the story such as determination or happiness.
