Korean Entertainment: Give Me to You 韩娱之把我送给你
Another love story wearing a K-pop disguise, with Sunny as the sole heroine, and more sweetness to come. K-pop may be on the decline these days, but I’m still a stubborn fool, charging ahead and writing out of love. P.S. This is a slow-paced story full of everyday moments, with no big twists or major conflicts. It’s all about taking your time and savoring small joys, without melodrama or dumb characters. If that’s not your thing, please don’t read!
