Story:
This drama tells the story of three siblings who grew up in the 1970′s. Lee Kang Mo, his older brother Sung Mo and younger sister Mi Joo were separated at a young age when their father was killed in a smuggling scheme and their mother also died subsequently. When they are able to reunite years later, they had all reached adulthood and are determined to exact revenge upon the people responsible for their misery.

I started watching this drama because of Lee Bumsoo and conclusion is that I got more than what I asked for. From romance to conspiracy to revenge to tear jerking scenes, you can find them all in this drama.

Got to admit that I am not a Korean drama addict, thus most of the cast I hardly recognize. However, their acting impressed me. Especially their ability in bringing out their characters' different transition at different stages. (Also, credits to the crew in charge of the casts' appearance (style/makeup/outfit).)

However, one would have to think "Woah, so everyone is actually connected to each other" because the plot pretty much makes everyone an important role/pushing factor for the plot to push through so the main characters can proceed to next stage of success.

Good things need time to digest. Take your time in going through the drama's pace.

Mould for small fish Mould for big fish Ingredients: a. 200g glutinuous rice flour b. 100g ungluten wheat flour ( tang mien  flour) c. 25g rice flour d. 160g-180g sugar (I used 170g) e. 400ml coconut milk (used 2 small packet (200ml) easier, don't need to measure) f. 150ml water g. 1tbsp corn oil h. 1 tsp orange coloring i.

CNY again, time for some baking... with my new electrical appliance in my kitchen... AIR FRYER! My microwave oven has been quite cranky (the plate doesn't rotate 90% of the time) so I tried using air fryer and it worked just fine! Air Fryer Setting - temperature @ 160C - timer set to 12 minutes This time round, I changed the recipe to Batch 1 : Ingredients a. 70g almond b. 20g pumpkin seeds c. 10g sunflower seeds d. 50g-70g florentine powder Batch 2: Ingredients a. 70g butter almond b. 20g pumpkin seeds c. 10g sunflower seeds d. 100g florentine powder Instruction: 1. In a large bowl, simply mixed almond, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds (ingredient a-c) and stir in florentine powder a tablespoon at a time for easier mixing. 2. Spread onto the air fryer baking tray. (Note: to line the baking tray with baking paper) 3. Set air fryer temperature to 160C and timer set to 12 minutes 4. Keep tabs on the almond florentine, once turn brown, it's time to re

When baking is completed, remove the baked almond florentine from baking tray and on a even surface (I used my cooking board), quickly cut the florentine into required shapes. (I cut them into squares) Side Notes : -> Previously I made this with the butter and sugar recipe which involved more steps. It  significantly less costly but it tedious
