Light on Me 새빛남고 학생회 (Korean Webdrama OST)
Light on Me is a new 16-episode South Korean BL series that premiered on June 29, 2021.

As with a lot of recipes from commercial kitchens, we have to take it with a grain of salt as most would keep some important details to themselves, but in saying that I’m still interested in experimenting with this recipe. We can see from the video and the recipe attached, there are inconsistencies! However by watching the the video and reading the recipe attached, we should be able to fill in the gaps…
