Decoy: the story of one fraud out of millions
The kdrama “Decoy” tells a story about a Ponzi scheme fraud. In my mother language (and maybe in others, I’m not sure) it’s called a financial pyramid. The fraud is simple, you invest money and get profit because more people are investing. All pyramid’s like that always collapse, it never happens any other way. So if anyone tells you they know how to gain a lot of money easily – run.

New episodes of Disney+ melodrama “Call it love” continues to deliver the well-written melancholic plot. By watching this show I get the right amount of angst. The one where the heart is ache, how sad you feel for the characters. That almost break, or the feeling when the brink of the edge is near but the characters balance on it and only time will tell if will they save themselves or fall. Both Woo Joo (Lee Sung Kyung) and Dong Jin (Kim Young Kwang) are currently in that almost fall from the cliff state and maybe if they decide to sincerely hold each other, they will be able to survive.

Seems to me every thriller or law-centered k-drama has a specific type of soundtrack, usually, it’s something very dynamic and most likely rap tracks. So I decided to gather up my favorites tracks in one playlist:
The First Responders ost part 1
Season 1 of the new SBS show “The First Responders” is come to an end and I want to highlight the amazing ost of the show.
We have a mix of dynamic badass tracks but because the show touches a lot of sensitive topics, the ost contains ballads too.
KIHYUN sings “You’re dancing like a devil Oh Step into the fire I’m on higher” in the track “Fire” used at the end of each episode while another track is rap by Paloalto – Rescue with another powerful lyric “Save with this dedication and courage Without fear, every day”, those are very dynamic parts of the ost.
