They are stepping on turtles somewhere!
I was about 8, went hiking.
Walked through a brook.
Stopped on a large rock.
It started to walk off into the nearby lake with me on it.
Darn giant snapping turtles.
If I were going to recommend K-Drama’s to the uninitiated I would have to go with programs like:
Don’t expect a lot of PDA, their culture is very different.
Lots of lingering shots of delicious looking food
Lots of tears, sometimes seconds after laughing out loud
Playful Kiss (AKA Mischievous Kiss) - A high school girl is rejected by her crush in a very public way before she finds her family moving in with his....
Secret Garden (Hyun Bin and Ha Ji-won) An egotistical wealthy man and a down to earth poor stunt woman meet and their fates become entangled. Sparkling jumpsuits. Body switching. (fantasy element there)
Rooftop Prince - A Prince and his team from the Joseon era are transported to the present time after his bride was murdered. In the present he finds the reincarnations of his bride, her sister, his enemy and others. Don’t be fooled, there is a lot of funny in this series too.
I should throw in a school-related drama too, I guess. I was going to make it MACKEREL RUN but decided to make it DREAM HIGH instead. It’s a school for kids who want to be musicians. (forget all that regular high school stuff, we’ll put the into music career tracks) (**South Korea really does let certain kids do things like practice golf all day with little real school work, meanwhile other kids are studying at hakwons until 10pm or midnight)
You cannot usually go wrong with Yoon Eun-hye, I’d avoid Goong (Princess Hours) it is very Soapish unless you like that kind of thing.
COFFEE PRINCE - She plays a tomboy in this who is actually confused for a boy and she ends up getting a job, as a boy.
LIE TO ME - Yoon Eun-hye again. The first couple of episodes have the characters as kids, so you have to wait to see her as the grown up girl.
....
These programs do not have stand-alone episodes like American shows do. They come in a particular order and tell a story.
49 Days - A girl is in a coma after a car crash and the reaper tells her she has a time limit to collect 3 tears from people who really loved her outside her family. HINT: Not her cheating fiance. I did not like the ending but its a great show, well done.
lol
I forgot...
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL
You can watch it first. A girl, Park Shin-hye, pretends to be her twin brother and becomes a member of a K-Pop boy band.
One of the most popular K-Drama’s ever
I think Porsches are art.
I fixed Vicki’s sewing machine again. Just needed the manual, the how-it-works DVD, and my magical no-line bifocals.
Mike Adams teaches Criminal Justice. If you go into a business program, you’ll find a hundred different courses that might get you into the auto industry. AppState had a section on “Supply Chain Management,” which is a sub-topic of Marketing.
Thanks, it sounds fascinating. Maybe Patrick will take an interest in Korea if I start watching a show!
I want to make commercials.
That sounds like telenovelas, and they also have daily shows that run for a few months, but not endlessly like American soaps.
Actually I want to be an auto journalist but most auto journalists didn’t study journalism in school so I won’t bother with it.
Advertising is a tough field to get into. App State has a television studio in the communications department; the professor said they just got a big grant from an alumnus who owns radio stations, so they have a major radio station and a whole setup for tv filming.
If you want to write about cars, going back to Automotive Technology school might work. UNC-Charlotte has a big automotive department, because of the NASCAR connection.
I’m watching the Princess Bride now. This is my 3rd favorite movie.
Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.
Anything with Mandy Patinkin in it is high on the list. It’s not “Lawrence of Arabia,” though.
That’s entirely possible. Maybe it’s been excavated by the UNC-Wilmington marine archaeology department.
I saw that earlier this year. Will watch it again in the winter. Also Hamlet.
I’m old and I don’t remember anything. Kudos to you!
I’ve never played games. I didn’t want to become computer-literate because I thought I would become addicted. Nuff said? (Lol!)
