Drama Cut : The Package Kdrama - Saint Michel

Everyone will recognize the Eifel Tower


I just finished watching "The Package". This drama consists of Jung Yong Hwa from CNBLUE and Lee Yeon Hee as the tour guide. It is about a group of Korean Tourist on a "package" tour to France.

What I like about this drama :
The correct portrayal of what to expect when you join a group tour :

  • Maru was held by the Immigration and everyone has to wait for him. / therefore please always considerate and ask for help if you don't understand the question
  • There will be at least 1 complainer or 1 fussy customer in the group who always not satisfy on the food/room provided lol  
  • The guide reminds everyone to take care of their bags at Mont Marte. This is the sad truth you always need to be extra careful in Paris tourist spot and the subway.
Other than that, I also want to reminisce Paris  ( too bad I only went to Paris) .Well, in future I hope I can visit other places such as in the drama.

The similarity of Malay traveller and Korean Traveller
  • Must bring ramyeon or instant noodle. In this drama, the older couple brings ramyeon and kimchi. They also almost kicked out from the hotel due to the ripe kimchi smell. For Malay, it is because "tekak melayu" might cant accept any foreign food ( i think it is the same for Korean too as the husband complaining they keep on eating the same western food). In addition ,only a few halal food for Muslim so we need that sambal ikan bilis, instant fried rice, noodles in our luggage. hehe

The main location of this drama will be the Mont Saint Michel.
 The hero and heroine fall in love after stranded here.

Yoon So So believes she will meet "the one" at the feet of the angel....the both met here under the feel of Michel. Michael is one of God's angel  written in Bible and Al-quran ( Mikail)
Yes, there is the Poulard restaurant where they eat lunch in the drama. It seems this restaurant is a combination of a hotel.






The drama was sponsored by Le Relais St Michael Hotel ( as they keep showing the logo lol)

You can also skip overnight and take train or bus from Paris to Saint Michel.
Mont Saint Michel Full Day Tour - Klook Travel


I think Lee Yeon Hee is believable as the tour guide including her French( it's sound French to me haha) but I do not like that she promised the group that they will shop at Champ Elysees but they never go there at the end of the tour. ( or maybe it got edited out lol). You must eat Laduree's Macaroon there!! ahh now I'm craving one.





The typical tourist pose in front of Louvre Museum. ( Musee Du Louvre). I also did the same last 2 years muahaha.



Wanna One Fan Meeting in Malaysia


Wanna One is coming to Malaysia! They will come for fan meeting event on 19 January 2018 at Stadium Negara.

Actually, after first 2 episodes of Produce 101 season 2, I could not keep up with the show every day but I did watch their stage performances. I also do not have specific favourite member but I like Kang Daniel and Ong plus I am now watching Master Key which they both in it. In the other note, Kang Daniel also danced to my favourite Got7's Hard Carry during the ranking stage :).

The ticket launch location is nearby to my house so I went around 11.30 am ( sale start at 11am) thinking the line will be moving but NOOO. My q number is 801. I went to other group ticket launch before, but  I can always get a ticket in less 30 minutes, I guess everyone cant miss out this fan meeting as the group will be dissolved by end of 2018.




It took 3 hours for me to purchase the fm tickets.  It was sold out online after 4 minutes. (I bought my ticket just 10 minutes before the organizer open the online sales. Anyway please don't buy any skyrocket ticket priced from the reseller. Some even sell the original rm589 exceed to  rm1000 till rm4000.  We need to stop these scammers.For rm4000 you better join their fan sign event or music show in Seoul.

By the way, this will not be my first time seeing Wanna One performance. I attended the Incheon Festival I guess that also triggers me to see their performance again.hahaha

Throwback :
You can see my struggle in this fan cam for the first few minutes but thankfully it is better towards the end. Applaud to all wannables for the loud fan chant


Tips :
Fan meeting location:  Stadium Negara
Accessible by  :

Stadium Negara Entrance

For those outside KL or any foreigner Wannables , the nearest hotel to Stadium will be the Olympic Sports Hotel. It is only walking distance.


If you want to stay at the same hotel with Wanna One ( I doubt u will get any glimpse tho ) But I understand, the joy under the same roof of your favourite.Lol. I think the organizer will use 5 star hotel at the city centre. This is the listed hotel used before . Eg BigBang, GD,2AM, Got7 . A lot of fan account which fan saw their favourite idols do a bit of shopping before departing back to Korea.It will be either nearby KLCC Mandarin Oriental or famous luxury shopping centre ,Pavilion - JW Marriot Kuala Lumpur. Click the image below to book: The last one will be Double Tree by Hilton .
Can't wait for the fan meeting ! Who is your favorite Wanna One ?
