This is great. Our daughter-in-law is Korean and we participated in the wedding in Seoul. We had no idea what we were meant to be doing as women fussed over us changing our corsages at seemingly random times and then giving us nuts and dates to toss on a cloth…there were acrobats and a wooden goose…it was stunning.

You’ve captured so much of what we observed over the years…

Oh, lucky you! That wedding sounds fascinating. If you've observed what I wrote about, that means the K-dramas are doing a good job of depicting Korean culture.

Mr. Sunshine has all that drama, with 3 guys chasing the girl. It might be my favorite. Also, it’s possible to tour the series set near Seoul, Korea. It’s surprisingly small, withe the various buildings very near each other. The “hotel” in the series has some food service inside. Enjoy a tea and pretend to live 100 years ago.

Sigh. Another for my list. Good thing I'm retired! Thank you.
