There’s a scene from the Korean TV series Remember You (Hello Monster) that quietly lingers long after the credits roll.

The People Behind the Mask
There are people you meet in life—at work, at gatherings, sometimes even within your circle—who leave you wondering. You talk to them, you share space with them, maybe even eat lunch side by side. And yet, there’s something about them that feels… off. It’s not something they do outright. They smile when they should, they… Continue reading The People Behind the Mask
Talk To the Person, Not About the Person
It’s strange how often we talk around people instead of to them. Although we live in a world where staying connected is easier than ever—with smartphones in our pockets, social media at our fingertips, and instant messaging or video calls just a click away—we still often avoid having real, direct conversations.

Life is made up of moments—some filled with joy, others with pain. We often imagine that being a good friend or family member means showing up to every birthday, wedding, graduation, or celebration.

Money Cannot Buy Happiness
We grow up in a world that often teaches us to chase money. From childhood, we hear that success means a big house, a fancy car, and a bank account full of zeros. Advertisements, social media, and even people around us push the idea that more money equals more happiness. But as we grow older,… Continue reading Money Cannot Buy Happiness
Do Lead Characters Exist in Real Life, Too?
Sometimes I wonder if the world around us works like the movies and dramas we watch. The stories we see on screen always revolve around a main character, someone whose journey we follow closely. There are the struggles, the triumphs, the growth arcs. Everything builds around that one person. And everyone else? They’re there to… Continue reading Do Lead Characters Exist in Real Life, Too?
Looking Back: How the Covid-19 Pandemic Changed Our Lives
The Covid-19 pandemic arrived like an uninvited storm, changing the course of life overnight. In the beginning, it felt surreal, as if we were caught in a moment that would soon pass, but days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Now, looking back years later, I realize just how much our lives were shaped… Continue reading Looking Back: How the Covid-19 Pandemic Changed Our Lives
The Invisible Complexity of Simple Things
There’s something I’ve always found fascinating: how people often overlook the hidden complexity in things that seem simple. We live in a world where so much is taken for granted, and yet, beneath the surface, there’s an entire layer of depth that most people never stop to think about. It’s not just about science, history,… Continue reading The Invisible Complexity of Simple Things
