Soap Operas in Korea

I have to say that being a Korean American, I always enjoyed Korean dramas.  My parents always had video tapes from the Korean video shop and I would always laugh and cry along with my mom watching the Korean drama and shows.   

Now that I am living in Korea, it is amazing to see how focused Koreans and even non-Koreans are on their favorite soap operas.  Korean soap operas are unlike “All my children” or “General Hospital,” they are more like “Lost” and “Prison Break.”  Some of my friends decided not to hang out on a certain night of the day because of their favorite show.  Ridiculous, right? 

So here is my one cent on the issue of the Korean soap operas:  MADtv’s parady on the Korean Soap opera.
