    Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam (sponsored by @partyon

     

    Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City (earlier known as Saigon) - famous for scenes in Taxi Driver 2.

     

    This city is the largest financial center in Vietnam with over 9 million inhabitants. It was founded in 1698, and it sports many interesting attractions.

     

    The Saigon Opera House and Notre Dame Cathedral remain from when the French ruled.

     

    More recent history can be found in the Reunification Palace with its interior design from 1960s. The War Remnants Museum is probably the most popular museum in Ho Chi Minh as it focuses on the Vietnam War. There are a lot of photographs and artifacts from the war. Best to take your time as the pictures might illicit different kinds of feelings.

    For a half-day trip outside the city, the Củ Chi tunnels are a must-see. There you can crawl in tunnels built by soldiers during the Vietnam war. Not for the claustrophobic.

    Taking a boat trip on the Mekong delta is also a relaxing way to spend a day outside of the city.

     

    When hungry you can find everything from street food to fine dining. Our recommendation would be to try a Banh Mi - the iconic sandwich which is said to have originated in Ho Chi Minh City, and which draws its influence from when the city was under French rule. A fresh baguette is covered with pâté and chili sauce, then stuffed with a variety of meats, fresh herbs, and pickled vegetables, usually carrot and daikon. Eat it anytime and anywhere!

    PS. Be careful of all the motorbikes when crossing the streets. Never stop for the motorbikes if you don't want to get run over! Walk slowly and you'll see the motorbikes swerve around you. A bit nerve wracking in the beginning, but you'll get used to it.

    So, a controversy on a drama where none of the complaints have actually read the whole script or seen the actual show. How very American as we’ve seen this before from Netflix shows to Dr. Seuss, where controversies were overblown. Let artists tell their tale. If you don’t like it, it will be felt in the ratings. Judge it by something concrete, the show, not by synopses and snippets and names of characters that can be manipulated to meet a point of view.


    Don’t be insensitive to one’s culture

     

    it is not up to the international fandom to decide, the koreans are very sensitive to this student democracy activism history

     

    Especially if this could involved Gwangju Massacre era. Script could be fictional but it is a topic that strikes the hearts of the Koreans.

  3. Strictly my opinion

     

    If Jungwon were to go overseas to train to be a priest, then this seasonal drama doesn’t need 5 main leads. Make no sense to have 5 main leads for S1 till S3 (if they did plan to have S3 as well)

     

    Songhwa might be in Sokcho but she is still in Korea and it is only 2 hours drive between Seoul and Sokcho. Furthermore she is only away in Sokcho for a year aka a season perhaps

     

    But for Jungwon, if he leave for Europe, it will be years before he returns.

  4. Ewha hospital enjoys PR effect from medical drama ‘Hospital Playlist’

     

    Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital said that “Hospital Playlist,” a popular medical drama that recently ended on cable TV channel tvN, helped people recognize the hospital better.

     

    Located in Gangseo-gu, western Seoul, the hospital was featured as “Yulje Medical Center” in the drama where five doctors have been close friends since they entered the same medical school in 1999.

     

    The TV drama crew started shooting the series at the hospital in October last year. They used the hospital’s lobby, the cafe, patient care rooms, wards, the Healing Garden on the fourth floor, the underground parking lot, and the 63 Ward as scenes of Yulje Medical Center.

     

    The production team also created a separate TV set that looked similar to a site of the Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital.

     

    The hospital provided not only the site but a physician as a medical advisor for the drama. Hong Geun, head of the Organ Transplantation Center at the Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital, offered tips on a script of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgeon Lee Ik-jun, played by actor Jo Jung-suk, and participated in the shooting of a scene at the operating room.

     

    Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital was also featured in other dramas, including the SBS series “Doctor John” that aired last year, and KBS drama “Forest” that aired the finale in March.

     

    Opened in May last year, Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital won the Excellence Prize of the 2019 Korea Architecture Award and the Grand Prize of the 2019 Korean Green Building Award.

     

    “As a new university hospital, it is difficult to promote its brand in reality. So, we decided to produce an indirect publicity effect through drama shooting,” said Lim Soo-mee, director of Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital. “In addition to the PR effect, it is also meaningful that hospital employees can be proud of where they work.”

    This hospital is well designed, no wonder they used this hospital for filming
