Does anyone here watch Grantchester on PBS?

22. I got hooked on Korean romances that have more plot twists than I can keep track of

and so many convoluted intrigues between all the characters that something new and unexpected is always happening. The ensemble casts are huge, and the story lines generally focus on a specific type of Korean business or culture. The plots usually start with the cute, plucky girl who is poor and meets the handsome rich guy who is cold and self centered. The don't hit it off but fate keeps forcing them together and inevitable love bloom despite snooty inlaws, coworkers and dangerous threats.

While watching the story unfold I also learn a little about Korean food, their obsessions with brand name merchandize, the fashion industry, music, or film making. They all seem to love drinking... a lot. I like seeing how they live, the differences in mundane things like bathrooms or kitchens. There must be restrictions on how much intimacy they can show, but its amazing how one sweet, seemingly chaste kiss, can still convey powerful emotions.
