Interesting video. I'm American and I started watching K-dramas about 15 years ago because after I tried one, I thought they were very clean compared to my American soap operas. I didn't have to be embarrassed if one of my young children walked into the room and saw the TV on. I was grossed out that so many American shows had become so scandalous. I also appreciated the format, like a novella, there are only 16 to 20 episodes and the story ends. My American dramas go on and on for years so that in order to make it interesting, they have to break up the couple and give them new romances. I loved Korean dramas for avoiding that! Years later, I watched a talk by a North Korean who had been inspired to escape after secretly watching some Korean dramas and seeing the lavish lifestyles, the food, the clothes, and I felt that maybe this is the good side of showing off beauty and wealth in dramas, to make a point of what a free society can achieve. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts and for an interesting video.
Wow thanks for sharing your story and yes, there are many North Koreans in South Korea influenced by their secret watching of Kdramas. Another interesting topic I plan to cover in later video.
I can totally relate to that. If I see an US film or series sometimes it’s so disgusting sometimes. I like those short series too. Longer than a film, but not lasting for months or years. Luckily so many K-Dramas exist 😅
This is why I stopped watching "western" productions. They are disgusting at times and they normalize many toxic behaviours. It was like a breath of fresh air to watch clean, as you said, drama. To add to that, unfortunately, ever since Netflix got envolved in Korean productions I can see a worsening trend. Dramas have become more shallow and boring, everything is very repetitive and there's much less real emotions.
@@CMri lately I changed mainly to Rakuten Viki. There are lots of great dramas that aren’t available on Netflix. I changed there because I wanted to watch „my roommate is a gumiho“, now I’ve seen lots of great dramas there 🤗
@@CMri I will add that now I see more cursing. When I first began watching, it was rare. I honestly don’t know if that was happening and just getting cleaned up by the translators or not. My guess is that it really was cleaner 15 years ago. I think I know the word for trash/garbage, and sometimes the drama translation will say they said something worse, but I know they only said trash. Or the worst one I saw was the character saying “Aish” and the translation was a really bad curse word. And I took it as producers wanting to Americanize the kdrama by adding bad words….since that’s been the trend here. There is enough ugly reality in the world so I prefer to watch a drama that lets me escape into beauty and goodness! ❤️
Very interesting and thank you for sharing. My youngest introduced me to KDramas with Descendants of the Sun in 2017. I was so impressed that I continued to watch and have not bothered with US TV since - and I am an American. As others here have mentioned, KDramas give you a complete story in a season, unlike American TV that drags on and on long past the time it should’ve ended, are clean enough to show your entire family vs scrambling for the remote to turn off smut, filthy language, and extreme gore as is on US television. And KDramas have restored to us the beauty and development of romance versus the filth on TV in the US of two people meeting and immediately hopping into bed with each other. KDramas are intricately plotted, beautifully written, acted, directed and executed - and include original soundtracks of fabulous songs, and sometimes exquisite instrumentals, as well, the later point being something television in the US has never done. One American with whom I wholeheartedly agree wrote the following reasons why KDramas continued to gain global audiences: Here is why KDramas are taking over the worldwide market, by Athena Gideon: 1. Acting - As someone pointed out, the actors are very accomplished. Even the idol actors are held to a very high level of performance. I find that the base level of acting skill demanded in Korean Dramas far outstrips the majority of American shows. 2. Values - America used to do this, but doesn’t anymore. Korean shows are a vehicle for transmitting Korean values. If you watch a number of shows you will see a pattern. While some might not enjoy this, I find it refreshing. The bar has been set so low in American media that I prefer watching shows that have a moral compass. 3. Soundtrack - I don’t know how they do it, but Korean Dramas have some breathtaking soundtracks. There are certain songs, that when I hear them, I get verklempt. That is some seriously mad skills right there. 4. Story Arc - Korean Dramas tell a story, more like a book than a series. You get a beginning, middle and usually a satisfying ending. If everything is going wrong, you know you only have X number of episodes before you are either weeping in your coffee for a week or the good guys finally win and the bad guys get what is coming to them. 5. Cinematography - The production values and the cinematography is first rate. Some of these series rival movies in this way. If you think I am kidding watch Goblin, Descendants of the Sun or Legend of the Blue Sea. 6. Love, Love, Love - Korean Dramas know how to present love. Not lust, not sex, but love. You may have to go through six or eight episodes for a single kiss or a back hug, but the wait is worth it.
Just WOW You said everything we all want to say in such an elaborate manner. I was left to watch Hallmark movies just so that I don't see two people having literally sex on tv..but this year I completely graduated to watching nothing other than Korean,Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese dramas and movies..Even the movies leave you either crying like a baby or laughing your lungs out
Like sugar too much sweet can make things unbearable. But kindness are like tree roots. A permanent source of good strength and support that nourish marriage. Kindness is better than sweetness.
First time watching your channel. I really enjoyed it. Just wanted to say that Jin is just as pretty, if not prettier than most of the actresses in k dramas.
From the UK now hooked on KDramas. Love the manners South Korean and respect. Don't become Westernised as respect will be gone and entitlement will come in. I'm from the West and my country has lost its morals.
I look at K-dramas like I look at the TV series "Friends". "Friends" is not the real life of most American singles, but you get a taste of American culture through their story telling. "Friends" is upper middle class and K-dramas portray that portion of life too, but you do get a taste of Korean culture while watching them. I love the 'historical' ones, and just like ours, they aren't always true to history, but you get the flavor of the period and how modern culture has evolved from that time period. I think that more westerners are watching K-dramas because it portrays life much different from ours, and a gentler side. The more gentle western dramas have now devolved into anyone's good action as an act of God, instead of it's just being the right thing to do.
I love Korean dramas. The filt in American TV left me with no choice but to only watch Korean and Japanesse dramas. Thank you for keeping your stories clean, with morals, and funny.
I’ve been watching dramas for years now (my first drama was Secret Garden with Hyun Bin). The relationships have definitely evolved since then but are still quite different from the west. I really enjoy the difference though. It’s like peeking into another world. That watermelon dessert looks very tasty and refreshing! I enjoyed this video 👍🏾.
Love you guys!!! it's great to see how you ask for your wife's opinion and how you both get along so well when explaining Korean culture to the rest of us. I love Korean dramas and I always wondered if those situations were true or not you guys keep up the good work.
You are correct in you're assessment. I would like to add the false sense of beauty, glamour and wealth that a lot of the k-dramas focus on. Yes there are those things but a very small percentage. It sends a message of materialism to the youth and adults instead of inner happiness.
It's pretty fun to watch Kdramas actually. What I've heard from foreigners about the charm of it is the sutble and detailed expression of various emotions.
@@abitdifferentkoreans It's true. I'm 42 and I just started watching a few dramas. I felt attracted to them. The reason, I think, is that we are witnessing a complete decline in our western society. Seeing strong values in K-dramas that are still there while we see them disappearing and while missing them makes me feel better. It helps one believe that love, commitment, respect, gentle manners, etc. didn't die or should not anyway. It gives a positive model to achieve (if we focus on the postive sides).
@@abitdifferentkoreans I enjoy the Korean dramas and movies because they are totally new and original stories for me with new actors. It's not the same, tired old stuff with the same faces. I also enjoy learning about Korean culture and customs as well as the history of Korea. The historical dramas and movies based on real events are so intriguing. I think it's because in my history classes in school they never covered any Asian history. It was all North America and Europe. My love of Korean dramas has even inspired me to try to learn the Korean language.
You'll be amazed how much free food and positive attention you'll receive if you speak Korean as a foreigner in Korea~ I'll also cover such culturual aspects in another video!
Thanks for sharing & greetings from Germany! I feel Germany is as cold as it gets, both in weather and sometimes in mentality. Respect for elders is a catastrophe here, and getting married is a decision anyone makes without needing their parents' consent. I'm grateful for my American side, which adds a bit of warmth, even if it isn't always perfect. I discovered K-Dramas by chance about a year ago, and they've helped bring some balance into my life. I also agree with an earlier comment-Jin IS at least as beautiful as the actresses in K-Dramas, if not more so. Love the channel-keep us updated!
very interesting video! western world seems to have discovered korean dramas lately... but korean dramas have been super popular in all Asia for MANY years. My question about korean dramas is if office environment and also school environment is really as toxic as shown in kdramas.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, you brought up another interesting topics I wanted to address. Unfortunately, I have to say that yes, it's very toxic. I'll cover that how it impacts society in another video.
@@suekennedy1595that happens in mainland China too. Anthony Bourdain filmed an episode about the drinking culture in China. In formal setting, you’re expected to just take shots after shots and still be standing.
It sounds rather hard to marry your true love…in Australia you marry who you love and the parents give their blessing or not. It is up to the couple. I enjoyed this video
Thank you for watching and your comment. Yes, love is the base for all dating and marriage, but there are just many obstacles to overcome. We'll also cover in more detail how the marriage process goes in Korea.
Some cultures see marriage as a union of two families. If the two do not mix well, it can lead to estrangement. I know of many cases of family estrangement, especially between a son and his family mainly due to the wife’s feelings about the husband’s family and I’m in the U.S. Even in my workplace, it’s very common to hear women complain about their in-laws.
@@emy-essencetv Nearly 50% of marriages end in divorce in the U.S. It's so common place now that it's no longer considered taboo and blended families are praised, saying "Children growing up in a blended family learn to solve conflicts and relate with different people. As a result, they develop good problem-solving skills. Extended families also provide children with more role models." which contradicts what I hear from people with step children who always advise me not to get involved with people with children.
@@d.c.3534 I don't know what blended family is, if you can educate me more on that. I'm Nigerian.🇳🇬 And we are family oriented, but I still believe children learn from all members of the family. We still have people who end up divorcing in my country, but it's not common and, it's not easy for the children to adapt to that change of separated parents. And the worst is that, most of this parents wants the children to pick sides. Well, couples who ends up divorcing have their reasons. I don't judge them. But for me, personally, I don't want to get married only to end up divorced. I pray we all enjoy our spouse, home and marriage.
I watched only one Kdrama and loved it so much, it blew me away of the cast and story, Alchemy of Souls💘 Shed many tears than any other movie i watched.. love from 🇬🇷eece!
I'm a Jamaican woman, thanks for all the information, im planning on taking a trip to South Korea next summer, jyst for the food, i want to try some things, not the octopus though, but i will try other food.
Exactly, that's a difference between two or more cultures. In North America (US ) dating means or involves having sex. And don't show respect for each other, values and moral are gone. I prefer 100 times the Korean culture and my own country. The US tv shows are superficial and very far from real life. Sadly to say it but it's true.
Very great information! Thanks for sharing! Got hooked on to KDramas, KPop and K music starting the pandemic times. Now, my day is not complete if I don’t hear any Korean language spoken. ❤️
I dated several gentlemen, Hispanics, Filipinos are the most romantics. American men are gentlemen and generous. So I dated and married American gentleman. No regrets, American they express their feelings through actions, not words. They do everything for a woman.
To this American, this video was excellent: informative, candid, concise yet thorough. It was also made more fun by including both viewpoints and the brief, colorful diversions of the watermelon. Nicely done!
Just subscribed. Started to watch Korean drama last January. Binging on historical period dramas led me to study Korean history (Joseon and early kingdoms, lol). Romantic comedies comforting and cathartic. Asian American so I can relate about parents and children relationships.
I really enjoyed your discussion about K dramas and also your wife working to make a healthy dessert meal! look forward to hearing more about Korean modern society and how it’s changing from tradition.
I really enjoyed this. I'm very interested in Korean culture since watching k-dramas I've become so intrigued with the people and the music and it's nice to hear this❤
I am so thrilled to find your channel. I am an American that started watching K Dramas in February and now i cant stop because they are so much better than anything on american tv. You spoke about all the things i wondered about and hope you do more videos about korean culture. I agree with everyone that your wife is very beautiful and you are a very handsome man also. Cant wait for the next video😃❤
Cool that you answered those questions about K-dramas. I have noticed in many of the K-dramas that there is a large amount of drinking going on when people are upset or stressed - particularly the drinking of soju. Does that actually happen a lot in Korean society? Do the K-dramas exaggerate the drinking too much? Sometimes I worry about how peoples' livers can handle all that alcohol so frequently.
I enjoy the Korean series so much from South Africa. I never watch any other movies anymore. I love the way they eventually only in episodes 18 ro 19 only kiss for the first time. I'm ready to let them show each other how they care from much earlier. Love how they respect each other. So enjoyable to see they don't just jump into bed first night. Sean you must cherish your wife she is cute and worth it. Tell het how much you love her, get romantic woman thrive to hear how they are cherished. Tell her often she is beautiful and you appreciate her. It will change so many things.
I am an 89 year old Australian and started watching Korean shows during Covid lockdown.I am so hooked on Korean shows I don’t watch anything else,excellent acting and of course we know it is not true to life but I have learnt so much about this beautiful country and the customs as before I only thought about the Korean War which was in my generation,take a bow Korea🇦🇺👍👏
K-drama and k-pop is also very popular here in the west, like in the U.S. You guys should make more videos on making Korean food and snacks, maybe invent a Korean-Thai fusion dish and explain it to the viewers. Just some suggestions and thoughts.
I read somewhere that there are “hourly” hotels that cater to young people who are still living at home but have intimate relations. That seems natural to me and makes sense. What is not possible is people getting to their 30s and still completely inexperienced.
thanks for your comment. yes, there are places called 'motel' for such purposes. However, we value intimate relations done only as a married couple, in line with our Christian belief!
Thank you for sharing your korean culture, family and delicious recipe. Since I started watching my 1st korean drama, i never got back to some other tv shows. I enjoy , laugh and cry with every k- drama. I know that not everything is like they show in.south korean, but definitely their culture and life style are much better in many aspects. I don't believe in wearing all high expensive brands for clothes or bags, but i respect if others want to spend their money on that. Personally a brand doesn't make a person. Please , keep sharing more about your korean culture with us.. One question for you, why are you not living in South Korea? You mentioned several times that you live in.Bangkok.
Thanks for watching. You'll understand us better when watching the below 'Quit Korea' video. We're traveling the world, and in Thailand for a few weeks~
I am an Indian woman and I started watching Kdrama in my teens. As a typical teenage girl, I got into the stories primarily because of the dreamy Men, angsty storylines and cultural similarities. I think these things were really what pulled me in initially but, now as I am in my 30s, I have started seeing things without the rose tinted glasses of a teenager and can really question and ponder how Male leads who are pushy, and passive aggressive are being promoted as loving and caring. Having said that, I still enjoy kdramas every once in a while but my passion for them has cooled off as I grew older. Also, I really enjoyed the video and honestly, it was just in my recommendations and I clicked purely out of curiosity now though am glad that I did. P.S. my first drama was Stairway to heaven as well and I was left traumatised by it. I remember back in early 2000s the storylines really liked killing characters with blood cancer. I have shed buckets of tears 😂😂
Thank you for this informative video and including the watermelon 🍉:) I loved both your input! and darn it, you are both pretty 😊 I wonder, instead of social standing, is it often the case in South Korea that a couple is similarly pretty? 😅
Thanks for your compliment! Well, maybe that's another topic we can cover in detail. Nonetheless, it's not always the case. Look forward to another video on that:)
Hello and thanks for your interesting video. I started watching k-dramas about 2 years ago and am hooked. My question is in Korea, is it normal to go to the hospital for minor sicknesses? In the US, with our healthcare system and the co-pays, most people don't visit hospitals for cuts or colds, yet I see it all the time in K-dramas.
welcome to our channel~ good observations indeed. yes, Korean people do visit hospitals quite often even for minor sickness, because it's very affordable. I'll cover healthcare system of Korea in my later video, so stay tuned:)
Sean has the same definition of quality time with the Korean man I met. After texting good morning, asking "잘잤어" and texting for a while before going to work I woudn't hear from him again. We are in touch again after he's off work. Then kakao before going to bed. Sometimes random text in between work but that depends if there is a chance. Texting all day and doesn't focus on work is unhealthy for me. We need to breathe too. Communication doesn't mean to text every hour. What matters most is the consistency. Now I know that Korean men aren't the same.
Thank you for sharing ❤love from Canada. I learned more about the Korean family. I also enjoy Korean culture food and dramas. I especially like the dynasty style movies.
Hello from Australia :) New Subscriber here. Thank you for your video, I cannot wait to make the watermelon fruit punch for my kids come summer....looks delicious!!
Sean, great video, and first time watcher. Huge Kdrama fan for about three years now and love them, so was really interested in hearing yours and Jin’s take on them. Additionally, have to say, respectfully of course, that Jin is a MAJOR CATCH, and you are a lucky man 👍🏼😊. Do whatever you need to do to keep her! I will be visiting Seoul for the first time this June!!
Thank you so very much for this video. I have been watching Kdrama's and chinese dramas, Japanese ones too. You are answering so many questions I have had for years about this subject. Thank you, with love from America ❤
Im a Scandinavian from Denmark and have been watching k-dramas for about a year now. Its interesting that some romantic aspects in this dramas, is close to reality. Interesting video you both make here. I look forward to watch some more
In modern times, while romantic love is more commonly seen as the foundation of marriage, the underlying concept of strategic alliances remains in a different form-particularly in the world of business and politics. Today, marriages among wealthy families or influential individuals are often seen as a way to merge business empires, create powerful networks, or ensure the continuation of a family legacy. The focus has shifted from physical territory and survival to economic power and social influence, but the principle of expanding one’s domain through strategic unions persists.
Great video, thanks for answering what i have wondered for a while. Question: what do Korean employers think about their employees spending time communicating with their partners throughout the day? Is it acceptable for romantic socialising to happen during paid work time?
thanks for your interest. Of course, no one at work would appreciate such behavior. People are texting during the work break or lunch time for the most time.
I appreciated this video. I live in America and often wonder if these Korean dramas, which I love, are a true representation of Korean life and culture. Your video helped answer some of those questions. Koreans are such beautiful people. You have a beautiful wife too.
First time viewing your channel. Hello from the Philippines! I've watched around 400 kdramas since 2016, no kidding! My twin sis and I although in our senior years are so hooked to daily watching kdramas. You both look sweet and caring couple. Thanks for your honesty. More blessings to you and your channel.
Thanks for your interesting program. I agree with Sean, its better to have less quality time together, than so many phrases during the day. I would have liked to know if alcohol drinking (soju, rice wine, etc. ) is so strong and often (almost in a daily basis & after work), as shown in many k dramas?
Thanks for watching and your interest. Yes, in fact, alcohol consumption of Koreans is one of the top in the world~though Jin and I don't drink.. You'll see a lot of people dining out and drinking even during the week in Seoul.
Well done! Your show was really very informative. I would like you to tell us if it is possible, for kdrama fans....Why are they so cruel to their idols?Why don't they allow them to have love relationships? Recently they treated Karina and Lee Jae-Wook very badly...Don't they want to see them in healthy relationships and happy? On the contrary, they are tolerant with behaviors that are strange for the boys in the bands....
I just happened to click on one of your videos and enjoy your content and learning more about South Korea and your customs. Im curious are there a lot of South Koreans that speak English? Like is it also taught in High School? Or was it mainly for use in international business and travel?
Interestingly enough i would consider myself to be kind rather than sweet, or what my partner refers to a action rather than words. So i will go out of my way to ensure my partner has everything she desires or will pick up a special coffee or item for her, i generally forgo on the flowers and more romantic expressions/gestures. I am that way due to my family upbringing where outward signs of affection were not highlighted, and although it would be wonderful to be that person with offering of flowers i do think actions do speak louder than words when you build a life going for 40+ years now. Love your video’s and sharing of some special moments of you both, you are a wonderful couple who add a refreshing insight into my day! Cheers.
Same some here in the Philippines parents of both parties have a big part in marriages! I was a victim of one in the past. But now i am a parent - my reason is i am not going to live with my children's partner 24/7 so why interfere as long as my children are happy I am happy🎉
Interesting with the Sprite in the mellon. 🤔🙂 Where I'm from, we do the fruit salad mixed with whipped cream. .... Another nice tip I got from someone was to chop up the mellon in triangles and put them in the freezer, then they will be like frozen popsicles for hot summer days
thank you for sharing, first time watching and I like the way you explained. From the dramas that I often watch, do children have to bear their siblings or parents' debts too?
My First K-Drama was Heirs. I have been a faithful follower since. I began as a huge Le Min HO fan, and now I watch C- drams and Thai -Lakhorns as well. I generally appreciate and celebrate the values of respect for elders, protection of women, marriage and family, and concern for the community over the promotion of the individual in Southeast Asian culture. The Western Media and Cinema houses are horribly amoral, and it's like trauma watching these shows. It's great to watch a drama and not have to worry about swearing and sexually immoral acts. Please don't adopt the bad examples from the West. I am ALL things Korean. I cook the food and am learning the Language. My dream is to travel to Buson and Jeju Island one day.
Hi there great video re dramas would love it if you could do more on this topic. (Fiction vs reality in drama) I started watching Kdrama during covid and have become quite interested in learning about the culture. I was glad to hear that with regards to love triangles that mostly unrealistic for the way they portray the 3rd person with the crush to be so clingy and not handle rejection in the dramas is quite scary/insane😮 Wanted to ask I am aware of the hierachy in Korea and obviously it is the culture but where does one draw the line as such.? For yes one should respect there elders but a lot of the dramas portray the older grandpa/grandmother/chaebol/ colleague as grumpy people and almost comes across as more of a power trip even as far as slapping a younger person. Lastly not sure if maybe lost in translation in dramas but are Korean people very private even with good friends/family ,? They seem to only tell friends family things they need to know. keep all troubles to them selves.
Thanks for your interests here! Look forward to another video for the topics you mentioned. As you know, hierarchy plays pretty significant role in Korean society, and I'll break it down further by situations in later video. As for the private culture, I would say to a certain extent, but not so less than Japan. Another interesting one to cover for sure.
Hello, I loved your video, very interesting about the house deposit. I always wondered about that when characters had problems to get it back or had to use it for sth else.. the drama!! 😂 I thought its like here that you give 2 to 3 rents ahead for safety reason for the landlord. My question is short: in K-dramas its often a problem to pay for medical bills in hospitals but from Korean youtubers you hear that the health system is cheap and easy. Whats real? Thanks from Germany 😊
Welcome to our channel~ The reality is that the medical cost in Korea is pretty affordable because of 3 reasons I think: 1. The cost itself is not super expensive like other developed countries like Europe or U.S. 2. The national public insurance is mandatory for all citizens that cover most of illness. 3. The private insurance is also well structured that one can benefit when hospitalized. Hope this helps.
@@abitdifferentkoreans thanks so much, didnt expect such a quick answer 🙂. No.2 is the same here, I wonder how Americans still not have that sytem 😎 . Btw I subscribed and look forward to watch your content. Sometimes YTs recommendations are very good 😁.
I would like to know about bullying it seems like from the k - dramas I've seen bullying is very very intense.. while there is bullying( obviously), in America ..my experience has been that it isn't quite as intense as depicted...for instance, The Glory or other shows where even the teachers are either directly or indirectly involved.
But we’ve been hearing about stories of young children in the US committing suicide due to bullying for years now. My own personal experience and my peers are pretty bad, mostly driven by racism where we were being verbally and physically assaulted from elementary to high school. Rather take the racial slurs over a random punch to the head/face any day. Inner city violence are both in the streets and on school grounds. So it’s bad in the U.S.
@@d.c.3534 I only spoke from my personal experience ... ik it can be different and I'm sorry for what you had to endure .. no one should have to put up with bullying.
i just love this gorgeous couple so down to earth so loveing to each other ..Jen and shaun its GODS will you both married and pray safe traveling where ever you go...continue your good work and some day GOD willing you can visit DURBAN SOUTH Africa ...God bless you and Jen richly
I have only started watching dramas for about a year. What attracted me to it was that they were much cleaner than the west. But I have noticed that the women get slapped a lot and both men and women scream a lot too. That’s a bit cringey. The other thing that should change is how involved the fans get in their idols lives to the point that they can control their careers. Awful.
good observations indeed. what's depicted in kdramas and movies are far from reality. I'll cover that as well as fandom culture in my later video, so pls stay tuned:)
It has always been a dream of mine to get in a relationship with a korean woman beacause i feel like they are different from other women and are kinder, sweeter and very beautiful so hearing your thoughts really helped me. Thanks!!.Great video. First time watching!! Really enjoyed it❤
My first time to see your channel. I hope you'll find your best destination. Enjoy your travel. What a good decision to get out from your country. It's hard to raise children when all they see in life is competition. Freedom and contentment in life = real joy/ happiness. Money is just a plus. Health is more valuable than anything else. Praying for you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. May the LORD, intervene and show you His purpose in your life. ❤❤❤
First, this question for your wife, what is your skincare routine? Korean women have the most beautiful flawless skin; and even the men have pretty skin, what is the secret? I love kdramas and kpop; have been watching kdramas for years. I love how it grabs you & holds you to the ending. I've never liked our American soaps, they drag on forever. I think I'll try that recipe, that looks delicious. You came up in my recommendations, so, new subbie, here.
I just wanted to say my favorite drama show all time is Legend Of the Blue Sea, my favorite is Lee Min Ho and also Jun Ji Hyun is so pretty but I think that’s the only drama I ever watched from beginning to end that I loved the whole series, thanks for sharing a great video I appreciate it 🤙🏽
Wow! Your couple is lovely, and also I love Koreans I'm interested to know more about them and their country although I started watch K drama and study about Korea 15 years ago. The time I was 8
I think it has to do with the families in USA but I think it is important to have the parents agree and like the person you are marrying. In USA, my family, we are invested in providing the most to our girls including private classes in high school and paying for the private universities.
Your video is brilliant guys ..really informative! I have been watching Kdramas and Cdramas for fifteen months and I love them❤ i find them really entertaining! NowI did wonder if whats in them reflected Korean everyday life. I did wonder if parents are overly involved in their adult childrens lives🎉 I would find that type of parental involvement oppressive and outdated for any adult over 21..while I understand the expectations of parents especially if they invest heavily into their childs upbringing it could lead to overbearing insufferable demands on yoing adults causing anxiety strezs and could lead a yoing person to consider suicide in extreme cases where the rights of young adults are being overridden . The world is full of ordinary people doing ordinary jobs and trying to make a living doing it ..but we should never look down with excessive pride on ordinary working people🎉.We cant all be CEOs...Consultants...Professors..etc. The extraordinary often lies in the ordinary. And its wrong to treat the ordinary with contempt and snobbery🎉 The fruit salad dish looms really healtby and Im going to make it soon!!❤ Thanks both of you for your great efforts making thiis lovely video❤❤
I love watching k dramas. I love happy endings. I do have a question, why don't they have a foreigner as a character? There's either no foreigners or they appear for 5 mins. Even scenes where there's lots of people, not one foreigner. Why is that? Just curious.
Hi Guys, another great video. I love korean dramas and i have been ( and still do) watch alot of them. About 2 yrs ago i was introduced to GOT 7 a korean boy group. I am hooked on their music and would consider myself a FAN...hahahahah. Thank you for the insights of korean culture. cheers and LOVE THE WATER MELON SALAD!!!!!!! Monty xoxo
