Korean Dramas, and their unlicensed storylines that drift from reality...an observation.

I was watching one scene where the male-looking character grabs the female character and tries to force a kiss, which by any society is going over the line. So I wondered how I would explain this to someone who just walked into the room, and it would go something like this:

Well, he has to kiss her in order to get his soul back, because their body's keep switching back and forth.

Gak! I don't know what is worse.

I watched a few of them and one thing is for sure.. "WE do DRAMA!"
Good grief. If someone even drops a spoon or has a very slight "unhappy", the screaming starts.
Gallons of tears, falling on the floor, banging hands or head against the wall.
You want to comfort them by saying "The world really, truly is not going to end!" Oh Brother..

In fact, I am a bit addicted to Korean television.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Hometown Cha, Cha, Cha, and Doctor Cha were three excellent series. Extraordinary Attorney Woo was such a global hit for Netflix it is coming back for Season 2, which is uncommon in Korea.

the hotel is a stopover for souls not ready to cross all the way over. Each has a story.
We loved it
