If I could read a story from any country, I would choose China and Korea. I am a big fan of reading historical, action, wuxia, and xianxia manhwa & manhua's, and these countries are where they are being produced and published. I find them very enjoyable because the plot and twists they have are very interesting. The art style that some of the stories have are also very appealing. They show themes of suffering, devotion, love, endurance through time, revenge, and more. Although they are not always relatable, I find myself enjoying them whenever I have free time.

Growing up, I’ve been exposed to a lot of American books, movies, and media, so their storytelling style feels familiar to me. Yes, I chose The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom because even though it was written in another country, I found it very relatable. The book is about how people are always chasing time and wants more of it. They began to regret the past, or worry about the future. As a student, I sometimes feel pressured by deadlines, expectations, and plans for my future, so the message really hit me. It reminded me that instead of stressing too much about what’s next, I should also appreciate the present moment, the people around me, and the little blessings in daily life. That’s why the story felt close to my own experience even if the culture is different.

1. If I could read a story from any country, I’d choose France because their literature focuses a lot on philosophy and existential themes. It’s not just about plot, it’s about how a person thinks, feels, or sometimes doesn’t feel anything at all. That kind of writing forces you to reflect instead of just consume the story.

2. Yes. The Stranger by Albert Camus felt relatable because of the emotional detachment. Meursault doesn’t react the way society expects, especially when his mom dies. He’s numb and distant, and people judge him for that more than for the actual crime. That idea, being judged for not showing the “right” emotions.

2. In connection to Thai movies and stories, there’s one movie that captured my heart and my love for someone. “How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies” is a movie about a boy quitting work to take care of his grandma in order to win her fortune. Since I’m a Lola’s boy, it striked my heart as I also do everything to follow my Lola’s wishes. I always come to see her and talk about our dailies and ambitions in life. She wants me to excel in studies as what she had done before. Her presence is a huge part of what I am today.

"18 Again" is a Korean drama series about love, family, and acceptance in which the perfectly happy married life of young teenagers starts, but as years go by, their happy marriage starts falling apart. The male lead wished to go back in time to change and fix his life. After watching this series, I realized that we all wish to come back in time to fix and change something that happened in the past, but that's impossible to happen as we are always moving forward and are not allowed to turn back time. The only thing that we can do is to get up and rise again from the fall that happened to us. Indeed, sometimes we regret things, but we can't undo what is done; we just continue and do better the next time.
