Starting on 16 June 2023: Drama Review Club - Extraordinary Attorney Woo

 

Starting from 16 June 2023, we are starting a drama review club - like book review club, only much easier and more fun!  In case you are wondering, this is very much in line with our raison d'être of hosting uplifting hopeful conversations. 

Friends will watch an episode of a selected drama series ahead of time and turn up at the one hour zoom meeting prepared to share their thoughts on the following:

• What was your favourite part of the episode?
• Did any of the scenes make you laugh out loud?
• Did any of the scenes warm your heart?
• Did watching the drama impact your mood? If yes, how so?
• Are there lingering questions from the episode you're still thinking about?
• What lessons did you learn from this episode?
• Which virtues were strongly practiced in this episode?
• Who was your favourite character this week? why?

The drama series we will be reviewing is the Korean award winning drama entitled Extraordinary Attorney Woo. It’s lighthearted yet heartwarming. It has 16 episodes of an hour each and can be watched over Netflix. 

If you have your Friday free and wish to have some fun, laughter and heart-warming conversation, then join us for an hour to discuss the drama.  To get the zoom link, please register here   https://forms.gle/qdeYZnurTGc6HfQv7 

So why are we doing this?  What is the raison d'être of Have Hope?

We are so often bombarded with negative news and conversations.  But we also know these are not the only things that are happening around us.  So it is important to have grassroot spaces to hold the space for ...

... conversations to counter the prevailing narrative,  

... life-affirming conversations among friends on topics that will uplift our hearts and illumine our minds and refresh our souls.  

... conversations to explore ways in which we can move beyond a critique of our current social order, into constructive concepts and practices that allow us to imagine, and to effect change at the level of thought and attitudes.  

Through our conversations, perhaps we could learn to make sense of what is happening around us, and to elevate our understanding on their possible underlying causes - with the hope that our perspectives might be broadened, which, in turn, might help to shape our thoughts and our vocabulary.  We hoped that, for some, this might even lead to re-ordering our lives, and our relationships.
