Movie Review

Joo Soo In is a famous high school baseball player. She is dreaming to join professional team, but struggle to get in. Her teammates and childhood friends Lee Jung Ho already accepted at a professional team.

Choi Jin Tae the baseball coach suggested her to join a woman baseball team. She refused and insist on practice alone. Her mother told her to stop doing baseball and find a job for her.

Coach Jin saw Joo Soo In hardwork and help her to practice everyday. He told her about pitching technique, because her ball didn't went as fast as they want. Joo Soo In practice early morning, work and back practice again after work.

Coach Jin ask for his senior to watch Joo Soo In match. After watch the match, he interested in Joo Soo In and let her come for draft. Joo Soo In did the pitch as instruct by the pro coach. She even strike out a draft player. The coach told the pro player to stand as the batter. Joo Soo In manage to make him lost with her pitch.

The pro team manager contact Joo Soo In and offer a contract to create a women baseball team. Joo Soo In refused because she want to play as professional team. The manager watch her recorded pitch and decided to make new offer and call Joo Soo In mother to accept it. Joo Soo In accepted at the professional team.

It was an inspiring movie. The struggle to keep reaching your dream, when everybody else told you to stop. I touched while watching this movie. Almost cry actually. This movie is a must to watch. I recommended it!

History Tteokbokki is a traditional Korean street food which can be usually purchased from street vendors also called 'pojangmacha' in Korean. The history of tteokbokki brings us back to the late Joseon dynasty. There are many hypotheses and controversy about its real origin.

Introduction Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeokbukgung Palace in 1405. It was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings and is the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal Joseon palace. The palace grounds are comprised of a public palace area, a royal family residence building, and the rear garden. Known as a place of rest for the kings, the rear garden boasts a gigantic tree that is over 300 years old, a small pond, and a pavilion. The palace gained in importance starting from the time of 9th king of Joseon, Seongjong, when a number of kings began using it as a place of residence. Unfortunately, the palace was burned down by angry citizens in 1592 when the royal family fled their abode during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Thanks to Gwanghaegun, the palace was restored in 1611. Even today, it holds a number of cultural treasures such as Injeongjeon Hall, Daejojeon Hall, Seonjeongjeon Hall, and Nakseonjae. Ch
