Enemy in the Blanket

Really like it!

Korean drama: Moonshine is a mix of sweet, cute, excited to funny that makes you want to laugh.

One of the reasons is that the character Gye Sang-Mok, played by Hong Wan-Pyo, was originally annoying. As a thug her job extorts money, including Kang Ro Seo, which makes this girl owe Gye Sang-Mok a lot.

But instead of being afraid, Kang Ro Seo even dared to grab Gye Sang-Mok, until the thug's hair was bald. Angry to the top, Gye Sang-Mok went back and forth to chase Kang Ro Seo.

The chase ends when Gye Sang-Mok gets hit and falls off a cliff. Gye Sang-Mok has amnesia and turns obedient to Kang Ro Seo. "I don't know why, I'm always scared when I see that girl," he said. Hehehe yeah yeah.😀😀

Kang Ro Seo's heroism really stands out in Korean dramas: Moonshine, something that I have encountered more often in Chinese dramas with royal themes, compared to Korean dramas which strictly follow patriarchal rules.

What also makes Korean drama: Moonshine a must-watch is its deep moral message, especially about friendship. Like the friendship between Crown Prince Lee Pyo, Kang Ro Seo, Nam Young and the Minister of War's son, Han Yae-Jin.

There are 3 types of friends that are useful to have:

Moral friend
A reliable friend
Insightful friend

Said Nam Young when Prince Lee Pyo reminded them of the meaning of their friendship.

Likewise, the friendship between Kang Ro Seo's father and the trouble maker, Chief Royal Secretary, Lee Shi-Heum. Before being beheaded Lee Shi-Heum remembered their conversation:

Flowers wither after blooming
The moon is getting smaller after the full moon
If you have friends to age and drink with
Then it will take away the worries of a century

Because that's what friends are supposed to be like, right? Can be a friend to confide in, a friend who can be relied upon and a friend who will remind you if you have strayed from the track you should be on.
