This is so wonderful that people after so many years can reunite. I imagine it must have been a near impossible situation for this Korean lady having to marry someone she didn’t love to appease her father’s wishes. But of course, Korean values are what makes Korea unique and special… too bad these people had to waste so much of their lives apart.

It’s an interesting topic, why do so many Koreans want to escape from Korea for the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK or Canada? Even North Koreans don’t want to live in South Korea. Koreans have just taken over the top spot (55K ) for international students studying in America, beating out the Japanese by several thousand students, closely followed by Chinese/Taiwanese students.

If all the Koreans leave Korea, there will be more crappy American-made dramas and Hollywood movies. Yuck!!

Finally, I want to say that, remarrying after your spouse dies within 2 months is just deplorable. Why not just hire a servant instead of marrying?

After more than 30 years of marriage, her father married again within two months.

Gotta love that traditional culture. Do as I say, not as I do.

Are we supposed to see another picture of them in that second link? Doesn’t seem to lead to it.

Ah yes. Love lost at the age of 12. It tugs at the heartstrings.
