For A baby boy. (Hope you know he is mine sha)... he is doing good and with so much swagger too.

I also don't like horror. I close my eyes when I sense any funny business

AMAZING LAWYER (NAME)

So you have joined them. I thought you were the only nice person left on my side

sarang60:
I will let him go to her when I am done with him

You guys have all said almost everything. A few things I learnt about dem Koreans

You can only clearly tell a person's age by hearing their date of birth and even then your age mate will still be considered your senior cos they add a year or 2 depending on the month they are born in

Every citizen has a registration number that starts with their year of birth. So most times when I'm watching dramas, instead of using the age of the characters, I look out for their ID cards so I can find their year of birth

Most people have 2 birth dates recorded cos unlike us here you don't have to register your child's birth immediately the child is born. So some people might be born 1979 but get registered 1980 and then their registration number can either start with 79 or 80 depending on what the parents want which just seems crazy to me lol

A lot of Asian countries do not believe in male circumcision and Korea was one of them but during the late 50s after getting influenced by the American soldiers stationed in their country they started getting circumcised as adults. Till today most males don't get circumcised till they start to attain puberty. (something about the babies being too small for the pain or it being a rite of passage, I can't remember)

Adultery used to be a crime in Korea. You could get jailed up to 2 years. The law changed in 2015 and now adultery is no longer a crime. (yay for me and minhyuk I guess)

Koreans don't believe in life imprisonment or giving the death penalty. They like to form forgiveness, reflecting on your sins and doing better. Oh well

I'm still not sure about abortion rules there. I once watched a drama where abortion was legal and recently watching the first responders, they referred to abortion as a crime so now I'm confused. Did the law change? I'm too lazy to research cos I'm not about to abort minhyuk's baby anyway.

Lovers celebrate all kinds of anniversaries *sigh* 22 day anniversary, 100 day anniversary etc and it is a big deal

Wearing fake designers is basically a sin there.

There are a lot of secret celebrity spouses/babies out there cos when most celebrities start a family they tend to lose their promotional value and a lot of them want to keep working so they hide the fact that they are married or have children

You mentioned something about wondering why they aren't renowned for their beauty products. They actually are its just that the Chinese have cheaper alternatives and are willing to get their products everywhere while Koreans stick to exporting to rich countries. They are a very money conscious society

sarang60:
Great observations.

In terms of culture, the fact that they believe the dead can 'eat' is interesting and that is why family have their favorite food items displayed on their death anniversary.

As for last name change, most women don't even have to as almost half or more than half the population have the same last name because of this, they have to make sure they are not from the same clan.

Standard of beauty in the society is not great and what is expected of women in general can be a little unrealistic.

The pressure on students to be excellent at all times in regards to their studies and to get a white collar job after getting into the best college can be a bit too much.

The rate of suicide is ridiculously alarming, it should be considered a pandemic.

The significance they place of their blood group and personality traits huge

I will add more when I remember

toykathy:
I don't really enjoy sageuk cuz of intense drama but I'm in love with this. I even watch it without subs

kangminhyuksho:
I'm not sure exactly what happened but I accidentally downloaded episode 2 of missing season 2 twice and I watched episode 2 as episode 1 before I realized my mistake *sigh* anyway my people are back and it's a new village. I miss my girl seo eun soo but at least I still see her in unlock my boss. I don't plan to watch episode 1 but I wonder what IL Yong and that old woman have to hide. I hope this season will also be as beautiful as the first one. As for go soo oppa, did he really need to grow out his hair. I mean how much hotter does he plan to be. Nawa o, he should pity my fragile heart

kangminhyuksho:
Not just the main couple, her siblings and their love lines. All a waste of romance. I know Lee ki woo doesn't do kiss scenes Sha so I wasn't expecting anything from he and Lee El to be honest *sigh* a waste of fine, tall, hot man

sarang60:
I don't agree because even the way they looked at eachother was more than enough.

HassieMalcomson:
I am a great fan of Kdramas but it will be great if you guys suggest me some romantic and full of action Korean movies. Waiting for your suggestions.

toykathy:
You don't disappoint

kangminhyuksho:
Yeah shooting stars had more than usual kdramas. From the main couple to the younger couple to the main lead and his lead actress to the lawyer and reporter I think. I can't even remember

At the end of the day, you guys are still right Sha cos I just remembered the lack of kiss scenes in my liberation notes and thirty nine even though we can't really call them romcoms, they could have still given us better romance.

kangminhyuksho:
Lol we're probably not watching the same dramas Sha or maybe it's cos I always find a logic for why there's not a lot of kisses in dramas I watch. Like with cheer up, my logic is, main couple haven't been together for long and they are in college. I don't think I've seen a college drama with plenty kiss scenes so it's not strange to me. With love in contract, my logic was people have been complaining about pmy doing only romance roles so she's probably trying to cut down on her kissing so casting directors won't keep casting her in the same roles lol. As for good job, I thought well the drama was terrible anyway so the terrible writer wrote only 1 kiss scene. I swear I have all kinds of reasoning for the dramas I've seen haha

kangminhyuksho:
I don't think it's covid, I think most of the writers aren't really focusing on the romance between couples. There are a lot of side stories to tackle and the romance is just like an extra luggage lol

kangminhyuksho:
Lol I don't see it at all, I think it's the same as it has always been. I mean it's not as if dramas has always been filled with kisses in every episode. 90% of most dramas, we don't get a kiss till episode 8 and then maybe 1 or 2 more in episode 10-12, then from there the couple breaks up for whatever reason and don't kiss again till episode 16. It's like 10% of dramas that really give kisses and they are rare so I guess we're in that rare stage
