A Wonderful Dinner Welcome any suggestions or corrections. Yesterday, I had a wonderful dinner with my friends Bright, Grace, Joyce and Beryl at Bright's home. Each of us made a dish. ( I feel it is hard to describe the situation, lol) I cooked sweet and sour pork ribs, which is quite popular among Chinese, especially people from north China. Others cooked spicy beef enoki soup, kimbap, pizza and brownie. They were all tasty and we enjoyed them very much. During the dinner, we watched a popular Korean drama called Hospital Playlist via Netflix. Actually, Bright and I had watched all the episodes. Bright is crazy about the show and wanted everyone to watch it, so we watched it together. It is a bittersweet drama about stories in a hospital, where the leading characters work. As it is about a hospital, there are many touching scenes. We burst into tears when a daughter transplants her kidney to her father and the father feels guilty for it. However, it is hilarious sometimes. When one of the leading characters plays a game called Maffia with his mother and other elder people, it was so funny as the seniors don't understand the rule and 'ruin' the game without knowing it. After dinner, Bright performed the music in the drama. It was fantastic. She had learnt playing the piano when she was young but stopped it for a long time. She picked up it for the drama as she loved the music in the drama. I was motivated by her attitude. I will work harder and hope I can play the piano as well as her.

A Wonderful Dinner

Welcome any suggestions or corrections.

Yesterday, I had a wonderful dinner with my friends Bright, Grace, Joyce and Beryl at Bright's home. Each of us made a dish [It was a potluck dinner so each of us brought a dish]. ( I feel it is hard to describe the situation, lol) I cooked sweet and sour pork ribs, which is quite popular among Chinese, especially people from north China. Others cooked spicy beef enoki soup, kimbap, pizza and brownie. They were all tasty and we enjoyed them very much.

During the dinner, we watched a popular Korean drama called Hospital Playlist via Netflix. Actually, Bright and I had already watched all the episodes. But Bright is crazy about the show and wanted everyone to watch it, so we watched it together. It is a bittersweet drama about stories in a hospital [...about the happenings in a hospital/ ...about the things that went on in a hospital], where the leading characters work. As it is about a hospital, there are many touching scenes. We burst into tears when a daughter transplanted s her kidney to her father and the father feels felt guilty for it (because you are talking about a specific time in the past while watching the episode). However, it is hilarious sometimes [However, at other times, it is also hilarious]. When one of the leading characters played s a game called Maffia with his mother and other elderly people, it was so funny as the seniors don't didn't understand the rules and 'ruin' ruined the game without knowing it.

After dinner, Bright performed the music in the drama [... performed a musical piece from the drama on her piano]. It was fantastic. She had learnt playing learnt to play the piano when she was young but stopped it for a long time [...but hasn't been playing for a long time]. She picked up it for the drama as she loved the music in the drama. I was motivated by her attitude. I will work harder and hope I can play the piano as well as her one day.

In blue are suggestions only. I think the word you wanted is "potluck." It is a gathering of friends and relatives where each one brings a dish for all to share. You can see examples of its usage here :

Normally for book titles, movie and drama titles in written text, you need to italicise them like Hospital Playlist. So it is clear it is a title of some sort. If italics are not available in your text editor, you can enclose them in quotes like "my movie title."
