강미 | learning korean열여덟 스물아홉
After a short deliberation, I have selected my new drama. 열여덟 스물아홉 is a new drama from KBS that is adequately interesting. Sure, amnesia is an old, old plot device, and I’m not expecting anything new from it, even though producer Ham Young-hoon says that:
“We haven’t decided yet if Hye-chan will recover her memory.”
If this were an American drama, I’d say the chances of Hye-chan recovering her memory are 100%. But this is a Korean drama, and I don’t know enough about Korean use of this device.
Anyway, I’m not watching Korean television to be cleverly entertained. I’m watching it to learn Korean, and as long as I’m not bored or repelled, any program is adequate. However, getting used to the men wearing darker lipstick than the women may take some time.
열여덟 스물아홉 is broadcast on KBS2 on Monday and Tuesday evenings at 9:55 PM. You may also watch VODs here.
Two hours a week is a bit easier on my schedule than the three hours a week of the last one.
