some interesting facts about korean dramas

two main typical kinds of agonisingly enjoyable scenes in korean drama serials:

1. the girl who just regains her memory runs amok around the art gallery and the camera zooms into her frantic face for 5 full minutes. meanwhile, he slowly saunters in her direction, accompanied by bodyguards and the third-party bitch. finally she comes to a halt 6 feet away in front of him. she takes a few steps gingerly towards him, until she is up close. tears start welling up in her eyes as they gaze fervantly into his. she has a mountain of words choked up at the tip of her tongue; she wants to tell him that she is the girl he has been looking for all along, yet she can't bring herself to say anything. after 30 seconds, she collapses into his arms. he holds her and asks, "are you alright?" (in korean, of cos). she couldn't answer, and continues gazing at him for another 5 minutes. then the third party bitch nudges his arm and urges him to leave. his eyes lingered on her for another 30 seconds before he walks away slowly, while the girl stares after him, still dumbfounded.

2. in an attempt to find her, he walks into her home, his fingers landing lightly on each piece of furniture as he passes. although in actual fact she's dying to see him, she hides in the storeroom because she doesn't want him to see her in her sorry state (in this case, she has lost her sight). after the dejected guy leaves the house, the girl emerges from her hiding place, obviously overwhelmed by regret as she shouts his name for him to come back, but alas, he can't hear as he's already far away.

i just love korean drama serials, don't you? (:
