I choose a episode which relatived with (Link) best friends. And we can use these vocabularies below to talk about your best friend: 1)we're besties 2)We’re best buds =it refer to a childhood best friend. 3)We’re super close . – Maybe you would use this if you didn’t want to say “best.” One of the host mentioned a quotation: " A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you " - Elbert  Hubbard. I'm very agree with it, because I know the true friend will embrace and accept your flaws. You don't afraid of showing your weakness or making mistakes, because you can always be yourself when gathering together.

The episode I have chosen is - How romance ruined love Here's my summary for it: Many people might have a lot of idealised fantasy about the relationship between you and the one. If you haven't been in a relationship ever and always watch Korean dramas, you might have more standard for the spouse. When you're really in a relationship, you'll notice that most of things didn't like what you imaged before, you'll feel frustrated with the huge difference at the same time . And that's why the romance ruined love- just because we expect too much.
