Hey-hey-hoo!
Welcome to my blog! Thank you for checking this out!
I’ve had this blog for a long time, so long that now I’m wondering why I didn’t come up with a better name xD I named it after my old nickname, which is Mei. So feel free to call me that!
It started as a platform to just randomly upload Japanese song lyrics that I translated into English because I had no other real purpose for them. I started translating lyrics because I got tired of always searching for lyrics translations online and never really finding everything I was looking for so I decided to start making my own! I know there are always people out there looking for lyric translations, and I hope I can contribute in my own small and humble way 🙂 After that, I started thinking about doing more and sharing more of myself, so I also started adding drawings and info about my own stories and characters. Recently I’ve started adding reviews of Asian dramas (of which I watch A LOT). I felt that it was a waste that I watched so many and also forgot so many. I always have a lot of opinions about the things I watch and I could never truly share it with anyone so that’s why I decided to upload those here as well 🙂 Read at own caution 😉
So anyhow, recently I’ve started to become more active, mostly in posting Japanese song lyrics translations and writing drama reviews. When I find time again to work on my own story I will try and upload more about that here as well.
I hope this can be a fun blog for people to check out!
For now, here are my categories:
Nice Music
Seiyuu (Voice Actors)
Jinsei no Minna
Drawings
Drama Reviews
Feel free to comment and let me know if you like my blog! 🙂

Dear Mei,
I came across your blog and one of your reviews several years ago when I searched for information on a K-drama that I was watching at the time. I am incredibly impressed by your reviews — your enthusiasm and insight are wonderful. Your perspective on plots, characters, and actors sharpens my own understanding and observations of the dramas. I used to live in Korea and Japan while serving as a U.S. Air Force pilot, and I immensely enjoyed those 6 years. I miss both countries; watching K and J-dramas brings back fond memories and they keep me informed of current Korean and Japanese culture. I look forward to your monthly reviews……please stick with them as long as you can!
Brian
Dear Brian,
Thank you so much for your kind message and for sharing your personal experience. It’s so interesting that your fondness for J- and K-Dramas is linked to your past of working and living in those countries. I also like discovering new fields and keeping up with current (societal) issues through dramas, so I can really relate to that.
It means a lot that you find my reviews insightful, so thank you for sharing that and I really appreciate the encouragements! 🙏🏻😊

Dear Mei,
I am so impressed with your thorough and thoughtful reviews! You analysis is so I so insightful! Can you please add the K-Dramas “When the Weather is Fine” (2020) and “Marry My Husband” (2024) to your list of dramas that you will hopefully review one day? I couldn’t find them on your list, but the first one is a wonderful drama with Park Min-young and Seo Kang-joon. The second one has Park Min-young and Na In-woo. I look forward to reading your thoughts!
Hi Michelle, thank you so much for your comment! I’m glad to read that you find my reviews thoughtful 😊 Also thanks for your recommendations! The two dramas you mention are on my to-watch list so I’m definitely going to be reviewing those when I get to them 😉
Hi Mei,
Thanks for your thorough and thoughtful reviews. I stumbled onto your blog when I was Googling again re the Korean movie “If I were a season” to see if there are any new reviews explaining the ending of the movie. Your review is one of the best I have seen about this movie with an open ending – I have read some many viewers’ different take on the ending and what happens in the future to Hyerim and Geosik.
I stumbled onto Korean and Japanese movies just prior to the pandemic and i think your reviews is a good source for someone like me who have become addicted to these movies. Keep on reviewing and wish you good health.
Hi Bill,
Apologies for the late reply, sometimes the comment notifications slip through and I only discover them after some time 🥲 Thank you so much for your kind and supportive message! I really appreciate it and I’m really glad that my reviews are helpful and entertaining to read for fellow lovers of Asian dramas. 🙏🏻Wishing you good health as well!
Hello, I stumbled upon your blog at 3am in the morning. But, I would just like to express my gratitude and appreciation for your reviews. I find them very helpful and entertaining to read! Please always stay healthy and safe!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment😢 I’m really happy to hear that! I wish you all the best of health back!🙏🏻
