…Geez, on LSIH, the law professor even had the Harvard accent downpat (assuming he was not actually a Harvard professor); considering that many Korean viewers probably wouldn’t pick up on the accent (since accent differentiation seems to come more naturally to first-language speakers of a language than second-language speakers), it was a subtle but notable detail.

Well, nobody’s going to read this comment on such an old thread, but what, pray tell, is wrong with “Love Story in Harvard” or “Brain Survivor”? I enjoyed LSIH precisely because half of it was in English, shot on location, with American actors (i.e., not English teachers, some of whom may be good teachers but are generally lousy TV actors). As for “Brain Survivor,” I’ve actually learned the odd thing or two from that show, not that I can recall any of it now!

To mizarv:

Compare k-drama to american soaps like the OC and “Desparate housewives” I think I lost 50 IQ points watching these shows.

There are numerous fan boards devoted to k-drama started and maintained by NON-koreans in america and elsewhere who would really disagree with you. And as for Winter Sonata or Winter Love Song, thousands of female fans from Japan, singapore, indonesia, hong kong, china, taiwan, the philipines, malaysia and even egypt would disagee with you.

So was this one of the Japanese outtakes from 1983’s James Bond: Octopussy movie?

Candu, Be honest, why villify only sit-coms or reality shows from the states? They both generally suck and that goes equally for the Korean imitations of the American originals.

Actually, there have been a few decent Korean sit-com efforts, such as “Non-Stop” when it first came out, before it got so childish and insipid.

The main Korean fare is what I call “Serial Soaps” - like Winter Sonata, and they are basically unimaginative, sappy, pretty much undistiguishable from one another and, without exception, insulting to human intelligence.

I’m with JP - even I’m stunned by the clip. Good work!
