K drama - a beginners guide

Welcome to drama-land, I've been here for 5 years now and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. If you've finally decided to check out what the hype about kdramas is, I believe I can help. Here are five things you need to know :

1. Keep an open mind. Remember that Asian dramas are quite different from American or British TV shows, simply because of a huge difference in culture.

2. A typical Korean drama does not exceed 20 episodes, most dramas are only 16 episodes long with one hour each episode. So, watching a kdrama doesn't really take long, which is why there are MANY korean dramas with different genres to try. New Korean dramas are available almost every other day. 

3. Romance is usually limited to cute scenes between the couples and kissing. But, even these scenes are quite heartwarming and can teach you different ways to express love.

 4. Korea is known for high fashion, and a good Korean drama will definitely give you new outfit ideas regardless of your gender.


5. Finally, watch a drama. Remember to always go through at least two episodes before you decide to discontinue the drama. Korean dramas pickup the plot quite slowly, the first episode merely introduces the main leads and their lifestyles.


Here are three different dramas with unique plot that I highly recommend. Each of these are very popular and can help you pick your niche.

A pretense.

We all pretend at some point. Some days we pretend much more than usual. It's easy to pretend when people are only concerned about themselves They'll fall for your deceit, and even if they see through it, they couldn't care less.  Often people pretend to be happy, to fake a mile or talk cheerfully. That way, the system is intact and society can proceed in its illusion of being perfect. Our society cannot accept sad people. Ironically, this emotion is very common. Sometimes, I feel like life is made of predominantly hurtful instances and sprinkles of  precious happiness. As children, we were 'allowed' to be mad and sad whenever we liked. but, as we grow older, showing these 'negative' emotions is perceived as a sign of weakness, ill health. And maybe, it is not healthy to be sad too often, but ignoring or even downplaying this emotion can only increase sadness. Today, we have an entire generation of sad people who do not know how to get over it. We ...

Be that person.

Recently, I read 1984 by George Orwell. The book is well written and insightful on political dominance and oligarchy. I could see why this book is highly recommended. While reading the book, I came across a phrase - ' Inequality is the price of civilization'. Although this phrase was meant to justify the harsh treatment of citizens the extreme rules under the part rule, it is simply even today. And this may not necessarily be bad. Most people today have equal rights, may be treated with equal respect and dignity. But without inequality, society as we know it wouldn't exist. A civilization invariably requires laborers, doctors, traders,teachers and all other professions.This is simply the structure of a social system. In the most basic sense, if man and woman were to be biologically equal, human beings would cease to survive. Therefore, inequality is in the essence of life that is, our differences our necessary. The world needs people who can stand out and be ...
