Hallyu













I was watching this Korean drama aired on AZN tv. Although I wasn't supposed to enjoy Korean stuff (Because I am a Taiwanese and Taiwan produces better stuff!), I found it entertaining. My Lovely Samsoon, the drama's offical title, has many elements of a successful drama: complicated plots, unpredictable twist, conflicts, comedy, love story, and well selected street scenes. No wonder it is the highest rated Korean drama ever (more than 50% of Korean population tuned in for the show when it was first aired).

As an economist wannabe, watching soap operas is not just as simple as it sounds.
