My last week has been consumed by house hunting and Korean dramas.

I have contacted at least 30 people about different properties and watched 2.25 Korean dramas on Netflix.

I have to admit, though...I am getting pretty sick of looking for houses! The nice, affordable houses are all out of reach of public transportation...and then there are the bad, affordable houses that are kind of a mixed bag of mystery - you really don't know what you're going to get!

I am realizing more and more what a sketchy area metro Atlanta is. There really aren't many places you can live close to the perimeter without the fear of your car being broken into every day or vagrants roaming into your house during a party. Yes. That has happened to a friend of mine. I was there.

So when I get really tired of trying to find okay areas to live in, I watch Korean dramas.

So far I have watched Boys Over Flowers, Stars Falling From the Sky, and I am in the process of watching Summer Scent. 

Boys Over Flowers was kind of silly and very repetitive when it comes to plot twists. It did suck me in for some reason though, and by the time I realized how redundant and annoying it was getting I was already so close to finishing it that I refused to give up.

Stars Falling From the Sky was a big improvement :) I enjoyed the character development although I did feel like some depth was missing the the story.

All of the Korean dramas I have watched so far make me wonder why Koreans are always interrupting each other and assuming they know what's going on without allowing others to explain. And why are Korean girls so vicious? And what does liking/loving someone mean in Korean culture? Why are there so many examples of loving someone from afar, even if you've never spoken to that person or only interacted with them in very trivial situations? These things are all very frustrating to me, to watch over and over. I don't really get it!

Are these all just huge dramatizations or do any of these things ever actually happen in the day to day lives of Koreans?

Is the boy mania for real?!?! Do bunches of girls choose certain boys and obsess over them like crazy and try to prevent other people from getting with them?

I would really like some answers :P

Feel free to comment or e-mail me any insights!
