Long before anyone was hooked on Koreanovela, I was one of those crazy, head over heels and so overly gaga with Korean actors and actresses like Lee Dae Hae and Lee Dong Wok. I would literally spend hours and hours finishing Princess Hours, My Girl, Green Rose and Coffee Prince in one seating. And if that wasn’t enough I was such a big fan that I don’t mind braving the terrifying Quiapo just to get good copies of these very addicting Koreanovelas. I would still remember how I crazily downloaded all their soundtracks onto my Ipod just to keep hitting repeat and vividly play my favorite scenes in my head. I would even search for lyrics despite the fact that the songs are all in Korean.
Who could ever forget the heart wrenching story of Autumn in my Heart or most popularly known before as Endless Love? This particular Korean drama I believe is what started it all.
Fast forward to the present, wherein Filipinos still can’t get enough of K-Pop and Koreanovelas.
We get to meet new handsome and loveable Korean actors to go gaga. But more than that, I believe what really makes us hooked and addicted to these Koreanovelas are the relatable stories filled engaging plot and irresistible humor.
Now, enough of Koreanovelas. You might even ask what’s the relevance of this matter to food? Well, let’s talk about what’s excitingly happening just around the corner and you will surely be able to connect the dots.
Last May 19th, our favorite Burger joint – Wendys held a launching event for their newest and very interesting burgers and it’s not one you should dare to missed.
Wendy’s released their very own Kimchi Chicken Burger served with Kimchi Loaded Fries and we’re one of the lucky ones to get to try it first.
If you’re a big fan of their signature Bacon Mushroom Melt Burger then the new Philly Cheese Bacon Mushroom Melt Burger will definitely be your new favorite.
We had fun games involving interesting Korean facts, K-Pop and K-dramas. We had such a great time taking photos and of course eating their burgers.
And if that wasn’t enough, after the event, later that night, we drove all the way to Wendy’s-Ayala to enjoy this delicious burger at the comfort of Makati Business District.

My favorite Korean Actor and Actress are Lee Min-Ho and Park Min-young of City Hunter. I love this K-Drama so much that I have finished it watching for a week. I was hooked with the plot, the actions, and the love story that evolves with Lee Min-Ho and Park Min-young, and with Lee Min-Ho’s mentor, his mom and his dad (the President) in that drama. This is one of the best K-Drama I’ve watched so far. And I am drooling over Kimchi Chicken Burger. I am a kimchi addict and the fact that Wendy’s incorporated in the burger makes me want it more. It is genius!
Thank you for your great comment Aldrin.

I love Song Hye-kyo’s character in there because she portrays a brave girl with full of hopes, positivity, love, and kindness.I love Cheese and Bacon so Philly Cheese Bacon Mushroom Melt is my favorite. This Wendy’s new burger is my comfort food and it makes me happy eating it.
We couldn’t agree more. Thank you Roxane.
favorite korean actor: Lee Min Ho Actress: Jeon Do-yeon
I like the Philly Cheese Bacon Mushroom Melt burger is tasty good!!! I can taste the aromatic beef burger patty then the juicy onions and bell pepper, then followed by the after taste of the melted thick gooey cheese.For me, I got satisfied already, their bun still chewy tasty and not the foamy type. Im glad Wendy’s is on track for releasing this kind of burger that other fast food joint can’t offer.
What a lovely comment. Thank you Sherrylane.
