What that means is that we are glued to our computers or televisions and don't bother us.
We've all come to agree that in order to have a successful drama series, the utmost important ingredient is.....the leading man MUST be handsome!
We swap movie titles.....and when we know what movie the other person is watching....we relive the story. Some of us re-watch the movie several more times.
This past Saturday, my friend Danna and I were having a sushi buffet lunch. We were at the Makino Restaurant here in Las Vegas and stayed there for 3 hours eating, talking, and laughing. The table next to us changed guests 3 times.
We laughed because her friend was watching Secret Garden. This is the Korean TV series, not to be confused with the movie or the classic novel. It is a beautiful series. The actor in this movie is
Hyun Bin.
What is amazing about this actor is not only his good looks, but how he draws you in with his facial expressions.
He also starred in My Lovely Sam Soon, Snow Queen and Ireland.
Being in Korea has no boundaries. Women and men of all ages and ethnicities watch these dramas. My friend Shirley has a Jehovah Witness church member that watches. His wife says that he watches all day! Danna is Samoan. My aunt in Hawaii is Portuguese.
That's the danger about Being in Korea. You have to pace yourself otherwise chores don't get done. The day passes and it's night....way past your bedtime.
There is a newly coined term or neologism that depicts this rapid growth in popularity of the South Korean culture since the 1990's. It is called Hallyu. This flow of culture could serve to prevent anti-Korean sentiment, perhaps re-unify Korea and who knows.....achieve world peace and prosperity.
Some of us are afraid to start watching these dramas because we know that nothing else will get accomplished. It is a really serious Drama Fever. Now that is where I tune in....at www.dramafever.com.
Watch at your own risk!
