IRIS is a South Korean espionagetelevision drama series, which began in 2009. With a budget in excess of $20 million, it is the most expensive Korean drama ever produced. It stars Lee Byung Hun (Storm Shadow of GI Joe) and T.O.P. (Big Bang member). If you want to check it out with English subtitles, you can watch it here.
We Got Married (우리 결혼했어요) is a super cheesy Korean reality show. The show pairs up Korean celebrities to show what life would be like if they really married. It is mindless reality television at it's worst, but it sucks me in EVERTIME!!!
Yoo Jae Suk and Kang Ho Dong are the "Ryan Seacrests" of Korea. Randomly turn on the television, and you will find one or both of them hosting a game, talk, or variety show. I'm becoming more and more Korean because I actually find them to be funny (oh the shame!)
Choco Boy is a skit on the Korean sketch comedy show, Gag Concert. I guess it is best described as Korea's Saturday Night Live, and Choco Boy is Korea's equivalent of the Spartan Cheerleaders. Here is a clip.
Gochujang is a spicy fermented Korean condiment. It is fermented in large pots outdoors. I eat it on rice at EVERY meal, and I carry a container in my purse at all times.
IOPE skincare and makeup rock my face! I will be so sad if I ever leave Korea, where it is not readily available:(
K-Pop! This is not a new obsession, but I'm just letting the world know that just because I'm a more mature 30 year old woman, I still love my k-pop with a passion! Believe me, at first you hate it, but as soon as you embrace it, you're done for. I dare you to watch this video and not fall in love with K-Pop!
Alex Chu fell from heaven September 2, 1979. It's nice to have a crush on a Korean celebrity that is not a baby! (Not that I love Rain, G-Dragon, and T.O.P. any less.) He is a Korean-Canadian singer and actor. He is the male vocalist of the band Clazziquai. And he is BEAUTIFUL, not to mention his killer vocals.
Bakjwi is another great movie by my favorite Korean director, Park Chan Wook. The fact that it is about vampires is just an added bonus.
