Hey,

While subbing, I discovered a Korean folktale related to Han Seok Bong’s mother.
I’m pretty interested in folktales in general (I want to tell stories to my nephew ), do you know some folktales or myths & legends from your country or that you heard about?

Share links if you can

THE STORY OF HAN SEOK BONG

(A great website I just found if people want to learn Korean! Their website shows many lessons in Korean-English, Korean-Polish, Korean-Vietnamese.

I have a digital collection (as well as a paper one). How can I send it to you? Google? Wetransfer?

I’m sending you my gmail. Just send via the one that takes less time to upload.

Fairly recently, in an episode of Suits, when Lawyer Choi looses a bet to Lawyer Chae and poor Miss Hong is the thing they bet on, she mentions she is no Shimchong.

I looked it up, and it’s this tale:

There’s a drama called “The Legend of the White Snake” on Viki (I haven’t watched “The Legend of the White Snake” drama, so I can’t tell if it’s faithful to the original tale):

I don’t know how similar or different this drama is but I guess every one has some variations in it:
