6/12 Dae Han Min Gook!
\_ Korean soap operas convinced me that Korean women are the
hottest in the world. They don't age and they're georgeous.
\_ Seconded. I'd be honored if one of the Korean girls would help
me pass on my genes with her, like jrleek.
\_ The same soaps have convinced me that Korea is even more
chauvanistic than Japan. Wtf? Is this some Confucian holdover
I'm just not able to get as a Westerner?
\_ Maybe soap operas aren't the best way to learn about another
culture, eh?
\_ Dunno about Japan, but Korea is very chauvanistic. Even if
it doesn't look that way on the surface, it is there
underneath. It is also a country where pride rules all,
where every small business owner insists on being called
President Kim and whatnot.
\_ Which soap operas did you watch? My impression from
watching many Korean drama has been quite the positive.
They seem to have strike a good balance between
absorbing western culture and retain their own
traditional values. I have more respect for the Koreans
now. I consider them a good example of what an Asian
country would look like under good democracy. It is
precisely because they retained their traditional values
that they are able to come out with such hot selling
soap operas, unlike Taiwan and HK which puts out craps.
HK is getting better, but I have not seen a good Taiwan
soap opera lately. The last one I watched was Millennium
Mamboo which is just a piece of shit. All in all I like
Korean dramas, and I plan to visit it once day. |
