It's the last installment of the Dream Trilogy. After discussing finding a dream for a middle-aged man and the 20s, here is a very special story that's perfect for the finale: it's a journey of a 70 year old man. He has lived his whole life as a breadwinner for the family and couldn't afford thinking about his dream. But by an unexpected chance, he decides to try out for his dream: a ballerino. But the story is not only about that. Other characters such as his children and the young ballet teacher show that at any age, we can have a dream, pursue a dream, or start finding a dream. The old man tells the characters, "It's never late. You, too, can soar." But the most encouraging thing during this journey is neither money or connections; it's someone who quietly stands behind us and cheer us on like the wife did for her 70 year old husband. If your dream or life has let you down, let this old man inspire you. The 78 year old veteran Korean actor actually learned ballet for this moving story. The Korean drama, Navillera will give you a life lesson.

They say that anyone can achieve their dream with sincerity and effort. But for some, having a dream is a luxury.

But being young is not equal to not being hurt.Here are 4 friends. They work hard for 2 things: one, to pay the bills on time, two, trying to forget about their dream. Ex-national athlete, aspiring news anchor, and a couple whose long-term relationship is falling apart. They all share the same public enemy: Reality.

An American psychologist, G. Stanley Hall first coined the term "storm and stress" in 1904 describing adolescence. But did he know that this storm and stress occurs again a little later in our life? Here's a man who had an epiphany. He quits his job on an impulse and decides to find what he truly loves to do. The problem is that he's in his early 40s and has a family to support. Some might say he's irresponsible and selfish. But for him, the world is full of opportunities, tomorrow is another day, and the glass is more than half full.

This is as geeky and nerdy as it can be while talking about drugs. We continue chatting from last week about Narcos, Narcos Mexico, and the Korean drama Narco-Saints. But there is so much more! A public health announcement, a little history lesson on one of the world's most popular drinks, some trivia on the actual cartels, and as a bonus, how to best care for your pet after a surgery. Would you be willing to work with the National Intelligence agent if you got paid? Even if it requires you to become an undercover cartel member? An ordinary citizen, father of two take up on this risky job in Narco-Saints (true story!) and Mary and I compare and contrast the Korean drama with the two Narcos series.

Lord: a powerful man in medieval Europe, who owned a lot of land and property -Oxford English Dictionary.Many are familiar with Colombia and Mexico's cartels but would you believe it if there was a Korean drug lord? His cartel was based in Suriname, even lesser known country than the Korean drug lord himself. And the word 'drug lord' is perfect for him because he owned so much of what made Suriname including befriending the then-president. Although it is a TV show, the Korean drama, Narco-Saints is based on a true story just like the popular Netflix shows, Narcos and Narcos: Mexico. Mary is back and we are dissecting the world of drug business for the next two weeks; Mary covers Pablo Escobar and Félix Gallardo, and I'm presenting the Korean drug lord, Pastor John.

There are some things that both East and West shared in old times, especially wisdom and philosophy. An old Korean proverb says "No wealth can last more than three generations" which coincides an Western saying "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations." And that's what may happen to Han family in the Korean drama Mine. In the last two episodes, it is obvious that none of the founder's grandchildren will take over the company and one son who wanted the job was too greedy he brought death upon himself. But the drama is not just about how he died. It tells about greed, family, self-realization, self-esteem, and the journey to find "Yours" in other words, "Mine." This drama is so well written it keeps the suspense all the way until the last moment. If you haven't started, go watch it on Netflix! Fans of Succession, Lord of the Ring, and Star Wars will find Mine especially enjoyable.

In Hitchcock's movie, The Birds, the birds do attack people. But is that what happened in the Korean drama, Mine? Could it be the pet peacock that caused the turmoil? And the naive humans suspect each other as it happens in many other stories because humans are naturally evil being? Grant and I decided to call it the "Peacock Theory" but it has nothing to do with ornithology.

With only 4 episodes left, nothing obvious is revealed about the "death scene."

Ever want to write a strong script like Mine? Check out Grant's mini lesson that's included in this episode. A fun peekaboo on Hollywood writer's room!

Has the Han family sinned too much? Can they ever become happy and dance, perhaps do the twist again?

It may help to listen to Chubby Checker while they are playing the game of checkers with each other to achieve what they want whether it's love, power, or freedom. Or very delicious homemade Bibimbop may help them because it certainly made Grant do the twist! If you have not started yet, start watching the well-made Korean drama, Mine on Netflix and find out what this enigmatic note is about!

Jay-Z once sang 'What more can I say?' and that's exactly what Grant and I want to say about the Korean drama Mine. If you have not started watching this well-crafted show, start the first episode now on Netflix!

Each member of the Han family is getting more tangled up with each other and the issue of who the Real Mother is getting somewhat clearer as the devilish characters have difficulties hiding their true self. But who are we to judge who's good and bad? Can the nun say we sinned or not? Well, maybe only if the nun is a real nun.

And let's not forget what we were like when we were young.

Didn't we all want to defy the rules and convention despite the consequences? Even the newly appointed young heir of one of the richest conglomerates in Korea is no exception.

Love is just a dream and you need to escape it. If you know how an elephant gets through a door, you will be able to achieve your goal.

Do you need tips? Learn from some of the characters in the Korean drama, Mine.

Han family's drama is headed to the climax and the three women, two sisters-in-law and the tutor, seem to have become one team now.
