The series is about people who are entangled in an unexpected ill-fated relationship and destroy each other while pursuing their own desires.

The lives of 6 people become entangled in ill-fated relationships.

A man witnesses a mysterious accident and makes an irreversible deal.

Lee Ju Yeon, who works as a doctor, lives with trauma that occurred in her childhood. She runs into the person who is responsible for her trauma.

A man wanted to make a large amount of money to change his life. He resorted to borrowing from loan sharks to invest in Crypto currency, but his investment collapses.

Jang Gil Ryong unfairly lost his job and is then asked to do something involving a large sum of money.

Han Sang Hun runs a successful private clinic in Gangnam. He has a girlfriend, Lee Yu Jeong, who is dangerously charming.

There were 2 main selling points for me that made me decide to check out this drama. The first being Shin Mina and the 2nd being that it's a short drama with only 6 episodes. I really enjoyed it, the show flowed really well and keeps you on edge.

I loved how it revealed how each of them were connected and how they all get their piece of karma.

Normally I would go into detail on the cast and their characters, but I don't want to reveal any spoilers as I loved how everything was revealed. Even in the final moments it blew my mind with how it all came full circle.

The cast really did an amazing job bringing each of their characters to life, I honestly don't think I could say that any of them stood out more than the others, they were all so good.

I definitely recommend this drama, it's a really good crime thriller, that takes your on a spine-tingling ride for justice and Karma.

Cook restaurant quality meals!

Each box comes with 4 recipe kits and 4 step-by-step recipe cards.

Following the recipes, you combine the kits with 4-6 items from your fridge or cupboard.

Then in just 20 minutes  you'll be enjoying a delicious meal for 2-4 people.

First from this box I cooked the Sticky Korean Chicken Drumsticks. In this kit you get Korean Style Rub, Gochujang Glaze and Quick Chilli Pickle.

We love this dish and enjoy it every time. It's definitely a regular pick for us. I've started adding all the Gochujang glaze, but I don't add it as much to half of the drumsticks so that Skye still gets a milder kick.

Next from this box I cooked the Japanese Seared Steak. In this kit you get Steak Rub, Shichimi Rice Stock and Shiro Miso Paste.

This is another dish we always enjoy. I'm always a little hit or miss with cooking the steaks as while I like mine medium rare, Skye prefers hers cooked a little more. I love the miso sauce, it's really tasty.

Next from this box I cooked the Sticky Bangers 'N' Mash. In this kit you get Paprika Colcannon Mix, Smoky Chilli Glaze and Smoky Date Sauce.

I remember that the first time we had this dish, neither of us were a fan. But every time we have it, I enjoy it even more. I keep the mash just the typical plain of butter, salt & pepper as the cabbage and paprika mix isn't for us.

Lastly from this box I cooked the Bibimbap. In this kit you get Gochujang Paste, Miso Stock and Soy & Red Miso Sauce.

We always love this dish, I keep thinking I need to get bigger bowls to make it more aesthetically pleasing to go with the yummy flavour. It's a favourite of ours.

Each box is £11.78 or £9.99 if you click ship now, with your first box being a trial price of £3.

Juvenile Justice is a 2022 South Korean legal drama written by Kim Min Seok and directed by Hong Jong Chan.

The series premiered on Netflix on February 25, 2022 and contains 10 episodes.

Main Cast:

Juvenile Justice  tells the story of  a judge who is known for her dislike of juveniles and gets appointed as a judge of a juvenile court. The courtroom drama sends a message of how society is also responsible for juvenile acts.

Shim Eun Seok, an elite judge with a cold and distant personality who is known for her dislike of juveniles is appointed judge of a juvenile court in the Yeonhwa District.

There, she breaks customs and administers her own ways of punishing the young offenders, Eun Seok has to deal with and balance her aversion to minor offenders with firm beliefs on justice and punishment as she tackles complex cases while discovering what being an adult truly means.

Netflix K-Content

I can't remember why I decided to give this a watch, but I'm glad I did. I like drama's that are on the darker side as well as having an aspect of whodunit. For me as well this drama is one of those drama's that I can't help but get mad the more I watch.

There were moments in this drama that I found it hard to watch, especially with some of the cases, and especially finding out that they were based on real cases.

I loved Kim Hye Soo as Sim Eun Seok, as the series develops we come to see why she hates juveniles. The more I watched, the more I agreed with her with how the justice system needed to change when it came to juveniles. Even now, we tend to see juveniles reoffend, even if it's just coming into a shop and causing havoc. Because they know they can get away with it, and that there really isn't any punishment, they continue to cause that chaos.

I really liked Kim Mu Yeol as Cha Tae Joo, he's the good cop to Eun Seok's bad cop. He believes everyone deserves a second chance and believes even those who had committed heinous crimes, deserves to be rehabilitated and allowed to atone for what they've done.

I thought the whole cast were amazing, they really did an amazing job, bringing the characters and show to life. I was sad to know that a 2nd season was planned, but it ended up getting cancelled, as I would have loved to see what would happen next, especially with how season 1 concluded.

If you're a fan of legal drama's, as well as shows with dark concepts. Then I highly recommend Juvenile Justice. It's definitely a show that keeps you on your toes as well as takes you on an emotional journey.

Have you watched Juvenile Justice?

Weigh in Wednesday!

I can't believe it's been 9 years since my last weigh in Wednesday post.

I've decided it's time to bring it back as I want to start looking after myself a little more as well as loosing some weight as I've put weight on since my last posts, especially since lockdown back in 2020.

I've started monitoring what I eat by logging what I eat on the health app on my phone, I still have a coffee in the morning but I'm wanting to start my day with a glass of water first as it's meant to help rehydrate as well as aiding digestion for the day. Keeping up with this will also boost metabolism, enhance mental alertness, and supports skin health by easing dehydration-related fatigue.

I definitely don't drink enough water, so I'm hoping this change can help me into a more healthier and better mindset of drinking more water.

I'm hoping to start learning more about food so I can start picking the right foods to help me have more healthy eating habits, as well as lifestyle.

I also want to eventually get back into exercising, even if it's just small workouts to begin with, and also as it starts to get warmer, walking home from work as on some days I finish before lunch time.

I'm going to check in on the first Wednesday of each month, continuing to enter my weight, as well as measurements for my arms, waist, hips and thighs. As for me those are where I hold the most weight. I' also going to take pictures for each of the posts too so that there's also a visual prompt for me to keep up with it all.

Starting Weight:

11st 12.5lb/75.45g/166.5lb

Arm Measurements:

32cm/12.5 inches

Waist Measurements:

100cm/39 inches

Hips Measurements:

113cm/43 inches

Thigh Measurements:

61cm/24 inches

Well that brings this issue of Weigh in Wednesday to a close, I hope I've inspired you to think about making a change, even if it's just drinking more water.

See you soon!
