ibkayee:
I understand what you mean, I’ve never been that enthusiastic about her acting but I genuinely liked this drama

Maybe one day when I have free data, I will download the episode 1 and see.

ibkayee:
Finished ‘The Glory’. I enjoyed it

I don't know why I struggle with this female lead's drama. I only saw the first episodes of both Descendants Of The Sun and The Encounter but couldn't continue. I managed to finish Now We Are Breaking Up because I liked the make lead from My Roommate Is A Gumiho. So far, I am not even tempted to start this one.

Other people that I struggle with their drama are

Suspicious Partner's female lead

Park Bo Gum (I think that's his name)

The male lead of Curtain Call

And I few others I can't remember now.

I may do the same. I saw some complaints about the drama. I hope I will enjoy it. Have downloaded the first two episodes.

sarang60:

I normally don't go for horror, I have seen just 2, I think........A Korean Odyssey and Sell Your Hunted House. I will give this a try....... for Cha Eun-Woo.

Hahahahahahahaha. This is the season of sharing anyway.

kangminhyuksho:
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

You and their your minhyuk this wedding must happen

Their way of life, LGBTQ, binary and non binary,etc and how they are forcing it down the throat of others and introducing it to kids.

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

Thanks!

I forgot about their dead and how they show respect to them. Thanks for mentioning that. I like it though. And the ceremony they do on the anniversary of one's death.

. I guess that may be why. Some women might just be married to a man that has same last name as her .

The standard of beauty, the pressure of academic excellence and the rate of suicide is really something to be worried about. It is well.

I haven't noticed the blood group thing. That's interesting. Just remembered the marriage compatibility checks .

I am surprised that their beauty products are not as popular worldwide as their entertainment industry.

The things I learnt about South Korea from watching Korean dramas.

I know kdrama is a fictional world where every thing is a world of make believe. However, there are sometimes a mix of reality to a story and we the audience have to separate the real from the fiction.

So these are the things I have learnt:

South Korea is a country filled with beautiful cultures and traditions. I actually started appreciating and loving Nigerian cultures when I started watching kdramas.

Respect is a huge part of their culture. People are addressed and spoken to differently based on their age. The language used for an agemate is different from the one used for an older person, even if the person is older by a year or two.

Drinking is also a huge part of their culture.........though excessively done. But I like the fact that you cannot even have a shot and drive. Their law concerning drinking and driving is different from the US where there is a limit to which you can drink but your alcohol level shouldn't be above a certain limit but in South Korea, they is no alcohol level, just don't have a drink and drive.

I love their attitude towards food. Their food is rich and it's always tempting to me when ever I watch them eat.....and I am not a foodie.

I like how their women don't have to change their last name after marriage. They still retain their father's name.

I am not too sure about this but even adopted children can inherit in a family........which is usually an issue in a country like Nigeria

Bullying is real in South Korea. In their schools and work places. This is heartbreaking.

Their law/justice system favours the rich.

The citizens have too much power in the lives of their celebrities. It's not the companies that cancels a celebrity, its the citizens. Once they cancel a celebrity, companies follow suit.

I hope they don't become 'too American'. I love them because they are different.


I may be wrong in my observations, feel free to correct me and also share what you have learnt about the country.
