Just the “traditional” ones where you are sitting on the floor.
Have you seen Legend of the Blue Sea?? The hospital food made me want to fly to Korea just to get admitted at a hospital and taste all that food of course, it’s probably just a drama thing lol
I haven’t but aaaaaaaaall the food makes me want to visit Korea/China/Japan/Thailand/whatever country’s drama I’m watching. I’ve been having a mostly very enjoyable pandemic staying home and watching dramas (I even have a mask that says “Stay home watch Kdramas” with Hyun Bin-ssi!), but the two things I sorely miss are travel and museums.
I will add that to the list! I love other countries’ grocery stores and institutional food, it totally fascinates me. (I’m weird, I admit it.) Their hospital cafeteria food does usually look delicious but we never get to see the service for patients.
We have some guest slippers that have been purchased at a Korean market–they have plastic soles that make them easy to wash, and they are very forgiving in terms of size. But because we have a lot of guests who are unaccostomed to taking their shoes off inside, let alone sharing guest slippers, we keep every pair of slippers we get from hotels and offer them to guests, still wrapped in their plastic. People who are shy about taking off their shoes start laughing when we give them a pair of hotel slippers to put on. Works out nicely.
Well I got the habit, that if I visit some people I just take my own slippers because the floors can be sometime cold and when wearing white socks… hmm they will clean the floors, lol.
At my son’s place I leave my slippers there and ev. wash them.
Oh, I found tissue on a table. I’m sure their tissue must be made different, they’re different from Canada to the USA so why wouldn’t it be. (ours are softer up here )
Haha I thought about this too. I usually carried an extra pair of black socks in my bag, just in case I also have shoe covers in my bag (like the ones hospital staff wear) for when they insist I don’t have to take off my shoes. In the winter I also just offer the shoe covers to my guests if they don’t feel like taking off their boots.
I have wondered this as well. They often use them to wipe their fingers while eating, like we would use napkins here in the US. The tissues/Klenex that we have would just fall to pieces if used them to wipe our fingers. I know, I’ve tried. Then you just end up with all these tiny bits of tissue stuck to your fingers.
So Eps 2 of Scent of a Woman! The boat starts and lurches forward - Girl falls PERFECTLY in a dip - like a dance - into Lee Dong Wook’s Arms! Seriously!
Does the slapping thing happen! Woman slapping woman! Mom’s slapping and hitting and hitting their children.???
Yes, the hitting, or the boss kicking someone’s shins?
@kdrama2020ali have you watched any old enough dramas or a soap opera to see the old school kimchi slap?
Obviously this is just a drama thing, but I have seen a couple different examples recently of a character getting beaten badly with a baseball bat and basically coming away from it with just a minor bruise or two & the doctors saying it’s ‘nothing serious’. I’m sorry, but baseball bats break bones, people, and if you get hit with one in the head, that can be downright fatal. Not to mention being hit with crowbars or fire extinguishers in the head as well. No one ever seems to suffer appropriate, real-life injuries from those in dramaland.
Well it has happend to me that I got suprised and my mind turned off. There’re things that you can’t understend untill it happens to you, and not everyone reacts the same way. Once my brother fell from a tree and hit his head and fainted. My aunt ran to get a pillow becouse he semmed unconfortable on the floor, luckily the kneibour saw it and called an ambulace. jaja
That would be the Freeze part of Fight Flight or Freeze, I also tend to freeze up, I’d hope that I wouldn’t if a car were barreling at me, but shock tends to make my mind go blank, and higher reasoning is nowhere to be found.
I saw an accident and thankfully had the presence of mind to call the ambulance, but couldn’t for the life of me remember what road I was on, let alone the nearest cross road. Like I said, higher reasoning is missing.
Watching an example this right now: an adoptive brother who grew up with the FL but is overly physically affectionate with her and is clearly in love with her, but somehow the FL is completely clueless and totally blindsided when he inevitably confesses to her.
I was just sharing with someone some of my experiences from movies jaja.
- Once we were camping an there was a tornado far from where we were, but the wind was really strong, I remember trying to walk against the wind with my arms wide open (I was a kid) but I coudn’t move, and a tree fell and almost hit my sister and the place where we were staying.
- A bull chased us in that same place, we were maybe 5 kids, and after that we couldn’t find my cousing. He had climbed a wall and got into the forest, he went out crying some minutes after.
- My dad on a beach got hit by a wave and fell, his arm’s bone broke into many pieces, he got 8 nails.
and I’ll end it here for now jaja
One of the SEXIEST things in Kdrama is the “Car U-Turn” to go FIND the Girl! Just happened in Scent of a Woman!
Well, I actually got hit in the head with a metal baseball bat by accident (swung in full force) and other than the enormous headache I had that day, I was fine . Maybe I’m the odd one. Lol.
I still hear the OST
That’s impressive and a relief. It doesn’t always result in tragedy, of course, but I am always amazed by how unscathed people can be after major fights in dramas.
Best fight in my book was the alleyway in Another Oh Hae before the BIG kiss! That was awesome!
Hahah yeah, they should definitely be more affected by it in general. Maybe look dazed / confused for longer .
People in dramas don’t seem like they even blinked an eye
