I remember one quote from 'My Sassy Girl': "Korean like soapy dramas." I couldn't agree more. Hehehe...sometimes I do like them, though I don't cry every episode, except for Autumn In My Heart.
Even so, sometimes they tend to get a little draggy and it goes round and round the plot like a carousel.
Take for example, 'Stairway to Heaven'. I'm not saying that its horrible. It's fine. A typical Korean soap drama. The story could be better though. Song Joo (Kwon Sang Woo) need not be so violent.
Sherry once said that she despise the picture of Korean girls being submissive and weak. Haha, Sherry wants to be the dominant one, eh?
I like Korean dramas because of 2 things: 1, scenery. 2, soundtrack. Bother not if the story drags. Their soundtracks are really nice. I know for sure that those with tragic endings, endless weeping have really mellow and sad songs, vice versa. (dUh...)
Nevertheless, I enjoy soap operas. Like 'The Princess' from Thailand starring Tik Jessadaporn...hehehe, and I also like Korean dramas and movies...not Taiwan though...Meteor Garden is...totally out. The 'Chong Yao' stories like Ghost Husband, Green Grass By The River...those are not so bad.
Stairway to Heaven finished day before yesterday though I didn't watch the last part of the show anymore...not even the part they cook spaghetti together...OH WELL...I just know how the girl died...
Something for those Korean drama fans...this is the Stairway to Heaven video clip..Guys, I know, its a little bimbotic and chick stuff here...but some do like soap operas... :)

Sigh...should stop watching all these soapy stuff for a while. I'm currently watching The 'W' Files...cause it have one of my favorite character: Wisely (His Chinese name is so much better)...science fiction stuff...Hong Kong drama...TVB stuff...
Okay, those don't understand what in the world I am saying...never mind...hehehe....
Anyway, soap operas remind me of the one in Sleepless in Seattle.
I'm currently feeling odd. I've been feeling odd nowadays...hehe...
I need to start studying again. Slack too much already...sigh...
Oh yeah, Joanne said bout story...I have one in mind...but wait lah....inspiration come late nowadays...I don't want to write another short love story with broken hearts...too many of those makes me feel sick of them...I should really write one story where there's no romance involved at ALL...no girls no guys...just plain old motherhood...hahahahahha...
And I agree with Sherry..The brother is much better than Song Joo...he sacrificed so much for Jing Soo. And to tell you the truth, the brother look much better in real life...
