We don’t plan on going to Wilmington in November. Bill wants to go to Raleigh to a concert at the State Museum of Art.

The art thing is the Porsches. The concert is something else.

Porsches count as art now I guess.

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.
