I have decided that my Korean name shall be ...
이준영
Well, it is closest to my name. Lee Joon Young (Lee Jun Yeong) vs Lee Jun Ying. I means it sounds close. But I'm not sure if it is a girls or guys name. But well, I'm trying to keep it closes to my name and I even manage to keep my surname. =D Any Koreans or people who understand Korean (DELIA!!!) can tell me?
Now you can see what boredom is driving me to. I'm even starting to learn Korean. Just starting this evening so you can't expect me to be pro. And I'm learning from the internet. At least I can read Korean words, at slower than a snail's pace. But I'm trying.
Anyway, back to topic. Wait wait wait ...
FULL HOUSE SEASON 2 is coming next year
But ... "It’s unclear whether Rain and Song Hye-kyo will be recast." =(
OK, too much diverting. I need to go back to my topic of Korean Dramas and their similar elements. So similar plots too. Haha.
Similar elements: (they are in order of times they show)
- Poor girl
- Rich man
- Hate at 1st sight
- Falls in love
- But rich man has an ex gf / girl he likes / girl who likes him, usually richer and prettier (as told by the drama)
- Sometimes, another guy will like the girl
And I also have some examples ... (I'm not giving a synopsis of the k-drama, I'm just giving the elements that prove my theory)
