Lately, I’ve been watching a Korean TV drama being shown at a Korean cable TV channel; thank Heavens for subtitles.
The story is simple. There is a boy and there is a girl, and they are both single parents and are in love with each other. And they are siblings. Step-siblings to be exact. The father of the girl is the step-father of the boy.
No problem, right? Except that the mothers are opposed to the relationship. The mother of the boy have this sickness. She confronted the girl and ordered her to end the relationship. When the girl refused, she had an attack. As for the girl’s mother, she threatens to disown the girl.
And that’s where the story of this drama revolves. The show is currently ongoing at KBS World every weekend, 7-8PM.
There is one lesson I have learned from this TV show:
Pasaway talaga mga nanay. =P
(The previous line is a joke, for those who don’t get it.)
Hmm… so it’s true that 9 out of 10 Korean dramas are about love between stepsiblings? Heh. Funny Koreans.
That speaks a lot about them, he he.
Does that happen to chickens, too?
Korean chickens maybe, heh 😛
Really? But aren’t Chinese and Koreans of the same stock? =P
Yay! Someone that agrees with me! I don’t know what that tagalog line says but I’m guessing that we agree with each other on how it sucks. Otherwise JC won’t send me the link. Yay!
Hi, runawaycat, the Tagalog line means “Mothers are hardheaded.” Or something like that.
Now, I have to hunt down JC and give him a rap at the head….
Quite interesting. But we don’t have Korean channels out here in India. 🙁
Hi, Siddharth, we have lots of Koreans here in the Philippines, hence the existence of Korean channels.
Also, some local stations import Korean dramas and dub them in the local language. All of them are big hits here.
