Well, since I just spent the last, you know, hour, messing with the layout and learning how to actually use Blogger, I thought I'd write another post. Let's talk about Asian dramas some more, that's fun :)
According to Wikipedia*, "Korean drama refers to televised dramas, similar to Western miniseries, produced in the Korean language for Korean audiences."
Dramas are a HUGE deal in Asian countries, which makes sense. But what you didn't know, I'll bet, is that they're actually huge deals on the North American branch of the internet, too. Not to mention the South American branch.
Wikipedia says that "Korean dramas have recently become popular in the United States as many see these dramas as an alternative to the violent and racy content of American soap operas."
Silent Regrets is the fabulous website that introduced me to the Asian drama experience. They have a smorgasbord of them to choose from, complete with subtitle files! Two of my favorites are Goong and The Vineyard Man, both of which star Yoon Eun-Hye. If I had to pick a favorite actress, I'd pick Eun-Hye, hands down.
*I absolutely adore Wikipedia. I'll probably quote it a lot.
