Where we live we’re lucky enough to have a Korean market. It’s a quaint little mom and pop shop and I love to sneak away there to pick up odds and ends that I’ve seen in Korean Dramas. Usually, I’m popping home with a container of fresh kimchi or some potato starch noodles for homemade japchae, but sometimes I’ll also nab some diet wrecking favorites. Naturally, these delicacies turn out to be the family favorites too.
Yogo Vera
Top of the list of treats is Yogo Vera, a sweet and creamy drink. The containers are pretty big, so I can usually buy one and split it between a few people. Although, it is impossible to stop at just one glass.
Banana Milk
Another favorite of everyone is Banana Milk. This sweet and adorable beverage can be seen in Korean Dramas, KPop vids, and at every corner store in South Korea. Once you start looking for it, you realize it is everywhere. And there’s a reason. It is yummy! Very portable, it is a great addition to a kids lunch or for hiding away in the office fridge for the next work break.

Barley Tea
A few months back I got a full box of Barley Tea in a subscription box. By the time I was finished, I was completely addicted. Try it at your own risk.

Milk Frother
I often make hot chocolate and chai lattes at home. I must admit, though, I can tell a difference between how the milk is frothed at a cafe and me simply stirring my heart out with a spoon. So I’ve been eyeing this milk frother for a while. Bonus that it comes in pretty colors!
Note from Drama Unni: “I’ve also been using a milk frother for AGES. It is the perfect way to get the cream to blend with my coffee. It makes the texture so light and frothy that it really does taste like it came from a local coffee shop. Once you try it, you can never go back to flicking around a spoon in a cup.”

BrüMate Uncork’d XL:
Always looking for more ways to make my life as a wine and drama lover, I love different types of wine glasses. I found these and loved how portable they were. They also hold half a bottle of wine: perfect during drama binges so I don’t have to refill.
SojuNights
Cherry Blossom Water Bottle – on sale now!
My pick of the week is this adorable glass water bottle with a cherry blossom motif on it. Nothing is more beautiful and romantic in any KDrama than when the leads are kissing underneath a motif of falling cherry blossom petals, and this water bottle can carry that vibe along with you every day.
KDramaCriminal
Maxim White Gold Instant Coffee
Who doesn’t watch a KDrama and want to try the powder coffee that everyone seems to enjoy? I KNOW I DID! Well here is your chance! I literally have a box of 100 at my desk as ALL times. It is so good and so easy to make. ENJOY!
