You Know You've Been Watching Too Many Kdramas When

I loved my Stylo 6, and my carrier was the best. Pricey per month but worth it. The problem came when my phone still was having major issues with a couple of apps that just would not resolve even after I got a replacement phone sent to me.

They would not just willy-nilly send me another brand for comparison for several reasons. I owned my phone outright, they had already wasted the time and salary of five different customer service and tech people, AND company policy was, despite all their advertising BS, to cater to the board of directors and investors rather than truly give a rat’s butt about customers.

I don’t fault any of the people I worked with. They were all super friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and basically the best bunch of problem solvers around. But those wacky folks up the org chart at HQ in NYC . . . classic materialist chaebols all of them.

Typical of most carriers, once they get you, they forget you :woman_shrugging:t5: Mines just charged me three times as much for a phone, because I have no promotions until August. But, I really wanted to stick with LG, the connection to Korea, K-drama, & yada yada yada :laughing:

I feel Subway calling to me every time I pass one on the street :joy:

Also, I felt completely cheated when a newly bought Samsung blacked out without explanation. I was like “Excuse me, live up to your reputation!” I had to explain myself to Samsung’s support robot which connected me to a human. At least they were fast at responding, and I got it fixed the next day.

More seriously, what about the impressiveness below? That’s what K-dramas do constantly–challenge people to constantly learn and discover. I was unaware until five minutes ago.

The Chinese Imperial dragon–symbol of the Emperor–is always portrayed as being black with five fingers such as humans have to distinguish to distinguish it from lesser dragons (which only have four f
fingers). Seems somehow entirely appropriate to symbolize the careers of these hardworking and very scary people.

Powell-Seongsaengnim, the first man on the list, apparently started something pretty awesome. Taekwondo meets capoeria?

I spend half my life on Viki :see_no_evil:
finished doing my volunteering duties? take a break by watching a drama. finish the drama > go to Discussions to rant about it > get caught up fangirling and fooling around > check Inbox > go back to editing > study > eat > pray > sleep > REPEAT :joy:

And if you bingewatch K-dramas on your phone, you can do laundry, run to the corner store for 50 cartons of cup noodles, pay your phone bill, return overdue library books, smack any errant maknae wandering around in the street, participate in two political demonstrations, and attend 5 BTS concerts in between episodes.

This is, of course, assuming you are truly follow the K-drama lifestyle.

NOW YOU HAVE DONE IT! Too much noise! Now the Helmoi Squad is being dispatched from the District Police Office to smack everyone within a 20-kilometer radius.

Thanks a lot, you traitor.

my problem is— the Korean word comes out faster and expresses my emotions best…and then I have to sit for ten minutes wondering what the word is in my own languages. Especially after I’ve just finished watching a drama. My whole language system gets turned around…I remember the Korean word first, then my native language, then Hindi and THEN English. By that time, whoever I was talking to has already disappeared, shaking their head at how gone I am. :joy:
