Annyeonghaseyo ,

oneul eun K-drama yeolpung e daehae iyagi hal geos ibnida.

Didn't understand?? :P

Hey all, today am here to talk about something that's becoming the sensation in India! Unless you are living under the rock, you would have definitely come across the term "k-drama". You would have heard about it through a friend, read about it, seen on social media or discovered it your self! (yea, thanks to boredom). :P

K- drama which is short for "Korean drama" is the talk of the town, which has found its place in the hearts of the teenage girls (largely) and doesn't look like its leaving the place anywhere in near future.

Korean, always remained us of - LG, SAMSUNG... and if you are a music lover you would have heard about 'k-pop'. But today we have reached an era, where K-dramas are flooding across the world and is becoming a wildly accepted foreign culture.

So, whats k-drama?

K-drama refers to television dramas in Korean language made in South Korea. Its unique because it has distinct features that set it apart from regular western television series or soap operas.

I discovered this magically addictive "k-dramas" a year ago and have been a huge fan of Korean culture, actors, dramas, music and even the language ever since then. This Korean fever gets you very easily. Just watch one episode of any of the series and that's it, you would have become a lover of K-dramas long before you could realize!

From my personal experience and analysis of why K-dramas are becoming so famous across various countries shows some simple reasons which no K-drama lovers can deny.

So, without any further due, lets get to it!!!!

1. ACTING!!

At times I wonder whether they even ACT! Every thing seem so real. The actors live the characters. The intensity in their acting really takes the drama to an entirely new level, making everyone want to watch it! Not bluffing, watch it to know it! You will definitely be awe struck!!!! ;)

2. STORY LINE!

Okay!! One of the main reasons why K-dramas are becoming popular is because, they are beyond the usual! Be it a love story, be it a thriller, Be it an action... or a mythology based series... everything has its own twists making it more interesting to watch. And the fact that, the series have only around 20 to 25 episodes, (without any follow up seasons)... leaves the viewers longing !!!

3. DENSITY OF CHARACTERS!

One thing that I love about K- dramas are, the importance given to every single character in the series. Be it the protagonist or the supporting characters, the amount of work put in to bring out the true essence of each character, is clearly seen when you watch the drama. Every single person brings the character to life!

4. BACKGROUND SCORE!

Music is undoubtedly one of the main ingredients to be added to enhance the flavor of a drama. The beautiful blend of the songs in the dramas makes you wanna listen to it again and again and again. It just reminds me that "language is no barrier, if you have the heart to understand". (No kidding, wasn't gangnam style catchy despite its cheesiness?? :P ...there are way too better songs you will love to listen!!)

5. SMILE !! :)

Aweee!!! I don't even have to say it. As far as, I have seen, all the Korean actors have such a cute smile that you will fall for it in an instant! I guess, their smile can melt even a rock! :P

6. EVERY GIRLS' FANTASY!

Sometimes, it may seem like a fairy tale! The unconditional love portrayed in K- dramas are a treat to the eyes. Though it is a fantasy, they make it look as real as it could be! Everything that a girl dreams to see in her prince charming... is perfectly captured in K - dramas. Which is clearly one of the reasons for the increase in viewership around the world!

7. CUTE, CUTE,CUTE!!

Everything about K- drama is way to cute to be true! Their cute accessories, cute dresses, cute expressions...etc etc... make girls go crazy!!
Girls = cute, Korean drama = cute, therefore girls = Korean drama!
simple na?? :P :D

Aaaaaand, That's it folks!

Hope you found them interesting. If you got motivated to watch K - dramas (yayeee!!bonus points for me) let me give you a suggestion... start with something fresh and light..
BOYS OVER FLOWERS AND PLAYFUL KISS... would be perfect, two series to make you fall in love with Korean!

And if you are already a Korean addict, share in your thoughts in the comments section below and tell me the reason why you watch K - dramas!!! :D

Gamsahabnida!!!

Times have changed to be hard on us! As the years pass by, I wonder who has the satisfaction of living the life that they once wished???

When I look at the society of ours from a top angle - right on top from where the crazy creator is - all of us down here are divided by a line. Ofcourse am NOT talking about the equator! This line has never manifested "equal", not even close. Its the Line of Money!

On one side we have the people who are loaded with money and on the other.. the people who are trying to cross the line and move towards the plenty side of it. The funny part here is, people with lots of money, all of the seem like they belong to the same bundle. No difference between them because they all can afford the need, want and desire.

But people on the other side of the line are the complicated lot. Even though they are all together on the same side of the shore, there is a world of differences between them. Each one's need, want and desire may be the same but their affordability differs to a great extent.

We have the so called upper middle class - who are close to the line, then there is middle class - who stand second and then we have all the other people below the middle class, which is sadly the majority in our country. The catch here is all of these sub categories.

Okay right! this is general economics, you didn't want me tell you all of these. Agreed! But what am trying to point out is how we have let the money rule us. Its become the ultimate deciding factor in what ever we do or need. Consciously we have tided our eyes so not to see money take over mankind.

Here's what happened...

It was a normal Wednesday evening, my cousins and I went to watch a movie at the mall. We bought the "normal class" tickets and went to the theater. Next to our seats, few kids aged between 6 - 15 years were seated. The movie was played and all of us started to enjoy! During the intermission, my cousins went out to get something to eat and I remained in my seat. Left alone, I started to medal with my phone and just then, the small kid next to me, began to pester the elder brother to go with him to the counter to get something to eat. But the elder one refused to go with him. The kid innocently said, "I have 100 rupees please come with me". Looking at it, the elder brother said that he wouldn't get anything for 100 rupees and it's waste of time to go out. Though, the kid refused to believe his brother, he forcefully took him out but returned without buying anything.

Are you able to see the irony of life here? How money has eaten away our smallest of joys. Going out for a movie and enjoying it with a pack of popcorn seems such a normal thing. But, the small kid could not get even that little happiness which would have been his worlds dream. Sadly we are living in an era where the movie tickets are lesser than the popcorn price. :/

Money has grown to be way to powerful than we can imagine. Things that seem normal are turning out to be luxury to most of us. As the movie dialogue goes - richer is getting richer and poor is getting poorer. Movies change, actors change, audience and theater also change, but this age old dialogue remains true even today.

Isn't there a need for us to do something about this. We need to act before money takes way the value of life.

{I hope it does offend anyone. Just wanted to share how unfair life is becoming for some of us. I mean, when did popcorn become a luxury!??!}
