A new SBS Korean drama has started airing called "Heard it Through the Grape Vine". This drama is definitely on my list of dramas to watch this season, as it is starring former MBLAQ member Lee Joon who has been showcasing his excellent acting skills in various dramas.

The girl, Seo Bom, determined to endure the humiliation and isolation from the family for the sake of her child's future while the son, Han In Sang (Lee Joon) struggles between his love for Seo Bom and his family's high expectation.

Japanese workaholics forced to take days off?

The Japanese government is trying to force workaholic’s to take days off?




According to Business Insider, the Japanese government is “aiming to ensure workers are getting the rest they need”. Japan is well known for their workaholic lifestyle. Mental depression, suicide and heart attacks or cerebral hemorrhaging are the main symptoms of overworking which caused an estimated of 200 deaths a year. About 22 percent of Japanese workers work more than 49 hours a week, an average of 9 days per individual to take any vacation days in a year.
The new law will encourage parents to spend more time with their family during special holidays or during summer months when kids have summer break, it would give workers more flexibility to their hours. It could also help to increase birth rates in Japan as the workaholic lifestyle is not allowing couples to raise children.
