Korean summers are known for being notoriously hot, here at Dojeon Media we have short-listed the top three Korean foods that you must try! Now, with the summer season kicking into action, I have listed three of the many Korean summer foods that you really should try, whether you are living in Korea or simply visiting. As you may know, Korean summers can get VERY hot, especially in Daegu which the Koreans name it (Dafrica) as it's simply dry and hot because of its beautiful mountain surroundings. 1. Patbingsu (팥빙수) Now before I tried this for the first time, I thought that it might taste like ice cream, though I realized that it was nothing like that. It's known for it's shaved ice toppings and either red bean or fruits, both of which are typically served with condensed milk for extra sweetness or candy depending on what option you choose. Though you can get individual portions, it is something that is usually served as a sharing size and I think that makes it such a more enjoyable social experience. My favorite has to be the mango flavor, and the shaved ice treat will definitely leave you feeling refreshed this summer! 2. Naengmyeon (냉면) Now if you have not heard of naengmyeon, you will very quickly when you are in Korea, especially in the summer. This dish is a cold noodle dish. It is made of buckwheat, potato, and sweet potato flour, and it is usually made with a beef broth with ice, vegetables, pear, and slices of meat, topped with a boiled egg. That said, nowadays this is one of the most popular summer dishes but its origins are from North Korea, where it was not strictly prepared during the summer but also during the winter. For me, this dish screams everything about summer in Korea and it can usually be found everywhere for a reasonable price. 3. Samgyetang (삼계탕) Now, Samgyetang is probably the most famous of the summer foods I have listed in this article, and for good reason. Now, I love chicken, and this hot chicken broth packs a punch of different flavors, which are said to keep you cool during the Korean summer. I have also tried making this famous dish at a cooking class about two years ago, and the whole baby chicken which is the star feature of this dish, boils to the bone and then soaks in all of the other ingredients. This dish can be found in the majority of places in Korea during the summer. Check out more summer foods in the video below! Now with summer kicking into action, what Korean summer foods are you going to try? Let us know in the comments below if you have tried any Korean summer foods, and what your favorite one is! #kfood #koreanfood #summerfoods #samgyetang #naengmyeon #bingsu

TV show Kill It - https://www.mk.co.kr/ With K-pop growing faster than ever before, the landscape has Fan Review K-culture and K-pop fans have been gripped since the moment this show was announced.

Sooyoung's new rom-com, Second Shot at Love, hits all hearts! But is this drama hit too close to home? We explore why this top-rated romantic comedy has been able to move past a faltering start. Image: Second Shot At Love Choi Soo-young - Photo: Kdrama.com Second Shot at Love Tops Ratings with Humor and Heart Since the release of this dramatic and comedic show, Second Shot At Love has scored an impressive peak viewership rating of 5.7% and averaged 4.3% in Seoul. Nationwide, the first episode recorded 3.4% on paid platforms, according to Nielsen Korea, ranking No. 1 among cable and general programming channels during its time slot. Will this be a drama to break ranks? Plot We have previously written about how Han Geum Joo, labelled an alcoholic despite her self-perception as a "reasonable drinker", decides to quit alcohol. Her life takes a turn when she reunites with her first love, Seo Eui Joon, who has left his prestigious medical position in Seoul to lead a rural health center. Their contrasting views on alcohol set the stage for a compelling exploration of love and personal growth. So, how has the show played out since its release, and what are K-drama fans saying? Image: Sooyoung Transforms Into A Mechanic - Photo: tvN *Spoilers! Episode 1 & 2: Lost in translation After a strong start highlighting Geum Ju's struggle with drinking, Second Shot at Love unfortunately slipped into familiar K-drama territory: misunderstandings, miscommunication, and mayhem. Much like recent rom-coms, the episode leaves viewers in the dark about crucial past events and keeps the leads from communicating honestly. This vague, frustrating approach sidelines the drama's sensitive themes of alcoholism and tense family dynamics, which truly deserve a more delicate treatment. While Second Shot at Love could  be ground-breaking, we fear its ambitious start might be overshadowed by a tumultuous "will-they-won't-they" romance. It's a shame, given how Episode 1 exceeded expectations, but perhaps next week will ease our worries about the show's direction. Episode 3 & 4: New Mysteries and fast-paced revelations Seon Wook's crush revealed, the infamous wedding, the Hans heading to rehab, and Geum Ju's confession. The wedding, in particular, felt like the perfect push for her to finally quit drinking. Hyeon Ju developed from a tag-along to a character with her backstory and feelings about the whole ordeal. We've seen glimpses of her tough life as a single mother, so her taking responsibility for Geum Ju as the older sister makes perfect sense. Surprisingly, Ui Joon's storyline took a dark turn! We're now dealing with an alleged murder, him hiding from his old workplace, and a persistent stranger hunting him down. How will this shocking plot unfold any further in later episodes? Image: Second Shot At Love Choi Sooyoung and Gong Myung - Photo: tvN Episode 5: Hans' Hard Road to Sobriety The Hans are finally facing their struggles head-on, embarking on a sincere, yet realistic, journey to sobriety. We see their struggle, with Hyun Ju even faltering in her first attempt, which was a moment that expanded her independent storyline while also deepening her budding romance with Sun Wook. Meanwhile, Ui Joon's shady past is rapidly coming to light. Between murder rumors, hostile colleagues, and a mysterious break-in, tensions are high. Will they continue into the final episodes? Episode 6: Gwang Ok steals the show Alright, so this episode really did bring out conflict and resolutions, and it also gave the secondary characters a chance to shine! Ui Joon finally confessed to Geum Ju, and Sun Wook confessed to Hyun Ju only to later being put in his place by his sister. The stakes of the show also became higher as the white truck of doom amped up the classic K-drama vibes, and it was Gwang Ok who stole this episode. The drama in a classic u=but clever way put the limelight onto the kindness that Gwang Ok showed the nagging villagers. Episode 7: Support, Surprises and Romance Geum Ju finally realized that she no longer has to suffer alone, after her once nagging circle decides to rally around her and provide support, once they learned the truth about her ex. This scene proved to be a powerful moment among the characters and for the show. Although one romance seemed to die out, another one started to blossom, with Geum Ju and Ui Joon, who are now officially dating. With the Hans' alcoholism taking a backseat, the drama is now setting up several mini-conflicts to spice up the latter half. While a relapse plot twist might be looming before the finale, it looks like Chief Kim and Ui Joon's father are ready to deliver some compelling drama in the meantime! Episode 8: Major frustrations Keeping things more wholesome, and focusing only on the charming daily lives of the Bochun's residents, we saw Geum Ju and Ui Joon being adorable together, meanwhile Hyun Ju finally started to prioritize her own life over others, including that of Sun Wook's feelings! That was not all, as the drama did sidestep slightly, which caused frustration among fans, as it felt like a non episode.  Nurse Baek's sudden "evil" turn felt more like a well-meaning attempt to keep Ui Joon close, potentially leading for a dramatic finale. Episode 9: The Han Family Heartache Did anyone else get whiplash after watching Gong Myung ? Episode nine, did take a pivot away from Ui Joon after focusing more on the Hans, especially Gang Ok and Hyeon Ju. Episode nine saw Gwang Ok being unable to catch a break, as he faced a diagnosis which is often linked to heavy drinking. Is this the plot twist that we were expecting? It feet like a cruel twist for Geum Ju, who's genuinely trying to overcome her own struggles. The drama however, did showcase the resolve with Sun Wook, that we were were all hoping for, though the question is, has she been sacrificing her own feelings? What are your mid season best moments?
