..the Korean Drama Phase

They say that when someone appear in your dreams, it means that they miss you terribly. Well, Gun Jun Pyo, Beuk Seung Jo, Tae Kyung, Shin Woo you all must miss me terribly eh..? :P

Boys over flower was my first ever korean :P, I don’t know from where I got it. It was during my last semester of B.Tech, which meant that I had loads of free time in hand. Initially, I only had 20 episodes (the series has 25 episodes). I remember being so addicted to it, that I’d stay up till wee hours to complete the episodes. After which I started asking around for the remaining five, because I was so interested in knowing how it ended up !!

Then, for a brief period Korean movies took up my attention (I have stayed in hostel for comparatively short time, and as anyone who has stayed in hostel will know, it is one of a kind movies/series repository). I have no idea who actually started watching all these, I mean, its Korean, who would think ‘Oh, I’m bored today, let me download some Korean movies and watch it!!’. But who ever did it, you are the one I’m holding responsible for this phase (and I’m quite thankful to you also). :P

College got over, so did the supply of movies and series. And Boys Over Flower’s charm seemed to lessen day by day( it was most captivating during my semester exam days :P). After almost two months of joblessness my call letter came, and  it was Chennai. Hostel again, but this time it was quite different. Eventhough I stayed at a working women’s hostel back in Kochi, this one was way different. After three months of staying here, I still have no idea about the names or whereabouts of people staying in my neighboring rooms..!
I thought my movie days were over. But thankfully for me, I found more Korean crazy people in my training batch, and listening to their list, I knew that I was way behind!! (btw, I always thought Korean thing was exclusive to Keralites, but Andra people are way too deep into it!).
After training was the glorious bench period, again a state of paid joblessness. However what people tend to forget to mention is that how boring it gets. Korean drama rescued me. It was day in and day out of series, one after another, to the extend that whenever I see a Koren national in my workplace, I get this huge feeling of,what to say, kinship? Bond? As if you have known them for years together!!! :D :D
I’m still in that phase, eventhough story line of every series is same, a heavily complicated triangle love story between talented (and beautiful, clear skinned) teens, its still entertaining. J

As for my dreams, I’ll rather hold the overdose of Korean drama as the cause, I’m pretty sure that the people I mentioned, don’t even know I exist L
