TV Series True Beauty Part II

     When I was in Texas for 2 weeks to welcome my fourth grandchild. My son and his partner encouraged me to watch some Kdramas with them. We spent the 1st week watching "Would You Marry Me?" series. It was really good and just released earlier this year too! Definitely one to watch again for sure!

Then they started me on "True Beauty" the TV series also from South Korea. You can find my take on this post here for the Japan movie version of the same name.


Oh my goodness! This television series released back in December 2020 was very popular even in the Philippines! I have now read the Webtoon, watched both the Japan and S Korean live action versions and whoa!! I am just flabbergasted! This television series had me laughing, wanting to beat up somebody, crying and falling in love with romance all over again!! I must admit, I do not really watch Kdramas often, but now am absolutely hooked!! NOOOO! LMAO!
 
Not because it's a bad thing, but because I try not to fall into soap operas if I can help it. So in short, this Kdrama was awesome!! I just finished the last episode yesterday and it had the ending we all expected... Lim Joo-kyung ends up with the one she loves, similar to the Japan version. Kudos to both the S. Korean take and Japan take. You made us love "True Beauty" even more so! Well, I'll be over here watching or rereading the webtoon all over again just in case I missed something! Haha!
 
Thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoy the Holidays! Merry Christmas and happy binge watching your favorite Kdramas!!

2 Weeks in Texas...

 I left for Texas a week before Thanksgiving. Spent a total of two weeks with my son and his partner as they waited to welcome their new baby boy.

I arrived on a Monday, November 17th around the afternoon. By about Wednesday night early Thursday morning my new grandson was born. It was an awesome time and to watch my eldest child become a father a 2nd time. But this one was special because he was able to be present for his child's birth and not deployed.


It was a simple week after the baby and his Mom came home. My son spoiled me and I did a little shopping and eating at new places I haven't tried while there. We spent the holiday just close to home and made a special meal, while watching Kramas.

 

 

I even went shopping on Black Friday at a store called, Five Below. There was an ad I saw on Tiktok about the Squishmallow plushies. You get a tote and try to fill the tote with as many Squishmallows as you can with no more than 10 plushies. Tev and Monica chose some and I got some. All for about twenty-five dollars plus tax. It was fun to try to fill the bag! I also saw this retro dancing flocked Santa at Walmart. I was tempted to buy, but was good and didn't. Haha!

By December 2nd I was on my way back to Guam. This was the latest I've traveled anywhere. We usually try not to travel during the holidays because of traveling on 'standby' status. But, I was very lucky and made it all the way back home without any major issues. I also checked the mail boxes I had received while away and below are some of the items that came in.

I made another order through gameanimefan.com for more LADS merch and I got a lot of cool items above. This time I chose the 9 mystery scoops for any of the LADS. So many cool items too!! I even got Caleb's necklace, Yippee!! Below, I got a lot of two plushies, a vintage Japan pink elephant and a Rushton mouse!! Both are already added to my shop. By the way my shop is open for your shopping pleasure!
 
 
Please do stop by and check out what I have still available. Well, that is all for now. I hope you had a wonderful November and December to start!! Christmas will be coming up soon! Gosh how this year has just flown by!!

Happy holidays and Happy thrifting!

Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls
