Wow. That’s awesome.

There’s so many out there!!

Good video btw.

Good looking cast though a lot of violence!!

I thought it was more of a romance story :)

Bullying violence is common in the asian school dramas. Makes me grateful for attending a Catholic girls school in the US. Thrown holy water was as bad as it got. But the theme of the dramas is always that violence is wrong except in self defense. On the other hand, in the special forces videos the killing of the opposition is so simple and straightforward that it doesn’t raise an eyebrow among the people in the operation. Husband was mentioning that this morning.

The moral codes of these dramas is like something out of 1950’s US. Purity and innocence are talked about as the ideal. In this one, for example, they’ve been pure throughout (though male players are not looked down upon by other men) and, at the end, the leads have been separated so that the girl can study to be a doctor while the boy runs an international company. And in an interview in the US before he returns to Korea, he admits that keeping away from other women for five years wasn’t easy.

For romance, many of the asian dramas seem to have the men attracted to a woman who knows martial arts. The leader falls for the girl after she knocks him out.

The video in my tagline,
Love O2O - Say It Once - Glass Pear

is the opposite. It’s the basketball/scholar king of the college in love with the beauty/scholar queen - both computer science students. Most dates are study dates. It’s a two year frustration relationship because they will NOT take the modern US approach to dating. They will wait with teeth clenched.
