Winter Sonata
Do you see the resemblance with my costume in the previous post? Hahaha.
Anna and I have been watching a lot of this Korean drama called Winter Sonata lately. It was amazingly popular in Japan when it was released as a TV drama several years ago. This actor, Bae Yong Joon, is immensely popular among middle-aged women here in Japan. I read stats that up to 80% of the country was watching Winter Sonata. Pretty much, Winter Sonata single-handedly created a Korean boom in Japan, and now the Japanese are a lot more curious about Korea.
It's a romantic love story with the soap opera twists, but somehow, it's pulled me in too. There are 20 episodes of about an hour each, and we're already up to episode 18 in about a week. It's the saddest thing I have ever seen in my life. Rebecca, when I get home, you're gonna have to watch this. My Korean is starting to come back too.
Sarang-hae-yo....
