MadTV: Korean Soap Opera Drama

by matt

This is so funny, I had trouble breathing while I watched it. Sent to me by my Korean friend, Linda.

The only flaw is that their lips touch. In a real Korean drama, there would be absolutely no kissing. Only yearning, guilt, and regret.

I’m addicted to Dae Jang Geum. The epic (60h) Korean period soap about a young cook in the king’s kitchen who, through diligence, loyalty and hard work, strives to become the head of the palace kitchen. I watched it while I lived in Korea, but without sub-titles I was baffled. Now, thanks again to Linda, I have the DVDs with sub-titles, but really I’m only slightly less baffled.

Wonderful stuff.
