Monisha

Writer
Specialties

Monisha’s first drama was Boys Over Flowers back in 2010. Ever since then, she’s been watching Korean dramas (and of course, crying over some of them), and with so many different genres and stories, she’s never bored. As an avid fan, with a passion for writing, her drama addiction led her to start critiquing and reviewing dramas. When she’s not watching dramas though, Monisha attends university where she is double majoring in English and Media Studies.
