It’s the Holy Week! And Filipinos get a long weekend spent for Visita Iglesia, summer vacation, and binge-watching TV series—Korean dramas included. Which probably explains why the hashtag #ChallengesOfAKdramaFan trended, claiming the top spot on Twitter on Maundy Thursday evening, April 13.
The hashtag seemed to have started from user @AnnyeongOppa, a popular Filipino social media icon for Korean pop culture.
lagi ka nalang sasabihan ng "naiintindihan mo ba yang pinapanood mo?"#ChallengesOfAKdramaFan
