Kdrama Concierge: 5 short dramas for a long weekend binge
With the Workers/Labour/May Day long weekend almost upon us, it’s the perfect time to binge books, games and TV shows. Today, joining my article series on Kdrama Recommendations, I’ve got 5 compact Kdrama options for you, ranging in subject matter from revenge to light and fluffy love. The dramas are listed in order of the least number of episodes to the most, so you can work out what best suits your schedule. All of these series can be conveniently found on Netflix.
Kdrama Concierge: 5 dramas for when you need a good cry
Our Kdrama article series continues.
Life is a lot right now… and everyone at some point just needs a good cathartic cry. If you’re like me, who shoves the tears down hard, these Korean dramas will help you get them out in a good way – because you’re not crying for yourself; you’re crying for the characters in these tearjerkers.
Kdrama Concierge: 5 Noona Romances for Valentine’s Day
Ah, February, the month of love. And it’s mostly all about today: Valentine’s Day. In honour of all the love, our ongoing Kdrama article series (now with a nifty title) continues with 5 great noona romances to check out.
Noona, you say? By now in your exploration of Korean dramas, you’ve probably come across a few honorifics – special terms of address, like calling a teacher “Sensei” in Japan. If you’re watching Kdramas, in terms of kinship honorifics, you’ve probably encountered “oppa,” whic...

Hi, it’s me, your favourite – okay maybe only – geeky Kdrama enthusiast. I know it’s been a while since the first introductory post in this series, but I bring a peace offering in the form of more shows to check out.

First though, honourable mention goes to these tonally similar movies that could be a watch for you.

Motherhood constructed online : an exploratory study of South African mommy bloggers
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: When blogging first entered the collective mainstream as part of social media, it was thought there was a clear distinction between online and offline life, that communities needed to have physical form, and that ‘mommy bloggers’ wrote vapid posts about their children. And while those perceptions have changed, there are still elements of those notions that continue to exist. This thesis explores those ideas, and shows a piece of the overall picture that makes up the South Af...
So, you’re curious about Kdramas?
At this point you’ve heard the hype, seen the memes, and maybe even dipped your toes in by watching Netflix’s smash-hit Squid Game. You’re possibly thinking that maybe this Korean drama (Kdramas) thing might be worth looking into some more.
A few things first though: if it’s possible for you, do watch the series with subtitles instead of dubbing. Either way there’s nuance lost with translation, but you lose less with subs. Secondly, be warned that episodes are long – anything from 45 to 80 mi...
Bridging the personal information governance gap : a case study of a South African University
ENGLISH SUMMARY : Information is arguably the most valuable asset for a university. Yet, historically, South African higher education institutions did not have to formally and explicitly consider and report upon their Information Governance requirements. The relatively recent—for a university, at least—promulgation of the Protection of Personal Information Act (4 of 2013) and the 2014 Regulations for Reporting by Public Higher Education Institutions now forces these institutions to relook at ...
