WTactualF....... I was so hungry but after a few seconds of that I just feel revolted. Was this on Korean TV?

Yes unfortunately this really is what passes for entertainment here these days. Why waste money making quality drama or documentaries when you can film a chubby nobody eating nosily?
Also side note - why are there so many Korean/English speaking dudes on TV? I've yet to see a woman. Not complaining, just think it's interesting.
QuoteAlso side note - why are there so many Korean/English speaking dudes on TV? I've yet to see a woman. Not complaining, just think it's interesting.Yes, I'd like to think it's down to them being more discerning but I guess it's more likely due to the fact that fewer of them settle down with Korean spouses and make a real effort to learn the language. Aside from Unusual Summit, which seems to be all blokes I would guesstimate that like with most things here, an attractive female would have an advantage over any guys applying for a TV role.
Teacher 1: The Arm, have you lost weight, you're looking slim.Me: Ah thank you, yes I think I have.Teacher 2: No he hasn't, it's just that he had a hair cut.
^it's the same with korean TV in general.just randomly flick through the channels one night and you'll see that something like 95% of the people on TV are dudes.the few woman on TV are mainly just there as eye candy.

Why waste money making quality drama or documentaries when you can film a chubby nobody eating nosily?I'm starting to reach my limit with Korean tv. It really is the same thing, with the same people, repeated over and over again. My wife has told me in no uncertain terms to STFU about it. I have a theory about why Koreans seem to be so obsessed about those programs where they are essentially watching other normal/celebrity people doing something banal. I'm sure it has something to do with hierarchy in Korea and that you don't really get to know people unless they are introduced by someone else or are family. There is just that curiosity, because they don't know how other people live. Just a theory mind.On another note: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. RAIN CATS AND DOGS! It is almost ten straight dusty days. I wanna go out hiking. Please spare a thought for our Chinese brothers and sisters who have it even worse than us.
I feel like I am filtering the entire atmosphere of Incheon with my lungs, and they are definitely not up to the task. My face just exploded with symptoms. We need a downpour or a stiff breeze or something; I've never reacted this badly before. Maybe it's the new 3rd graders; they are veritable Petri dishes of disease.Has anyone else been hit hard by the dust season this time round? I usually have zero problems related to my lungs or breathing, even when suffering from a nasty cold.

I truly hated that drama and even more so when its OST music was used in countless CFs and other TV shows for no god forsaken reason.
There is no hatred greater than my hatred for Korean Banks.

I was hesitant at first to get Korean Netflix because of the rumored limited programming but I have gotten my girlfriend hooked on Daredevil and I feel that it was worth it. It has actually been kind of comical watching the expressions on her face because she is visually distressed at some of the episodes due to the storyline and the violence. It is a new kind of show to her though and she has been enjoying. We have only watched the first season together. I can't wait to see how she responds to the Punisher.
