Hello, dramaland! I’m back for good 😉 Going to write about this new J-drama that I’ve just discovered after attempting to watch LoveO2O as my post-exams reward but all drama sites didn’t want me to watch it *cries* so I ended up watching “Happy Marriage” and it’s currently giving me life!

Hello everyone, I am Miss Fifi and I’m obsessed with Kdramas, KShows and Kmovies.

The first two episodes have already aired and sadly, I only got to watch the first episode today. *sighs*
