Kdrama is here to change your life

One of the best parts about living in a new country is taking in all of their pop culture.  When people discuss the culture of Korea,  they usually talk about things like hanboks and kimchi.  And those ancient parts of Korean culture are wonderful (well, kind of wonderful...I still have not developed a taste for kimchi).  But so is Kdrama.

 

Just some traditional Korean culture for you.  NBD.

What is Kdrama?  Kdrama is just Korean dramas.  That's it.  They usually last around 20 episodes and unlike American TV shows, they are not on for multiple seasons.  They are usually full of attractive people, involve outrageous storylines, and take place in Korean locations that always have a shocking amount of room for being in the most densely populated country in the world.

Now I have intrigued you.  And you're thinking to yourself, "Taleen.  I don't live in Korea.  How am I supposed to watch these?"  You're in luck, dear reader!  You can watch Kdramas in the US!  Both Netflix and Hulu have Kdramas available for your viewing pleasure.  And yes, they have subtitles.

If you do choose to watch a Kdrama, please tell me.  Especially if you choose to watch City Hunter.  It's incredible and will basically change your life with it's awesomeness.  I didn't get much sleep while I was watching it because I would stay up so late getting episodes in.  Which I guess is something I should warn you about.  Kdramas can be consuming in that way that awesome TV shows are.  But that's the fun of it, right?

City Hunter.  My favorite sleep depriving Kdrama.
