<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">
Have you ever imagined yourself as the main girl in a Korean Drama??? I sure
have, many times actually. </span></h3>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">It goes
like this: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">1. You
watch a drama<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">2. You
fall in love with the main guy <i>or the second lead</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">3. Then
you imagine yourself as the main girl <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">And
BAM!!! You're a now a Korean Drama Star! (In your head of course) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I have
done this so many times, with a plethora of different dramas.
Some include: My Princess, Creating Destiny, Flower Boys Next Door,
and Haeundae Lovers to name a few. Yes, I starred in all of these dramas, but
it was all in my imagination! </span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I remember
watching a scene in 'My Princess' and then imagining myself as the
main girl. It was the part when Song Seung-heon carried Kim Tae-hee, after
her big press conference, and as a reward. Ah! That was so cute! I then decided
that I had to be in that drama, so I imagined myself as Kim Tae-hee! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I find it
funny to think about sometimes that we can actually "fall in love"
with the characters of a drama. To the point that we imagine ourselves as the
main girl or even think how it would be if we dated the character in real
life! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Maybe I
just get way to involved with the Korean Dramas I watch, but nobody
ever said that was a bad thing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Have you
ever "starred" in a Korean Drama? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">What
Drama's do you imagine yourself in?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">The main guy. .
. Whether you love him or hate him you
know that in the end, no matter what he does, you know that in the end he is
going to get the girl. The biggest challenge I find whilst watching dramas
occurs when I prefer the second male lead more than the main guy himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">In some dramas you
watch, you are going to encounter the sadness of loving the second male lead. He
could be the kind-hearted guy, the childlike, funny best friend, the bad boy or
the one who sacrifices his own happiness for the main girl. Whichever character
he may be you can’t help but love him! </span></h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">A smile will
come to your face when you watch a sweet moment between him and the main girl. However,
that smile will soon leave as you realize that no matter how hard he tries to
win the main girls heart, he will never get his prize. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Personally, in
the Korean Drama, Boys Over Flowers, I found myself preferring the second main
lead, Kim Hyun-joong. I really appreciated his personality and charm in this
drama. He was always protecting, helping and encouraging the main girl, Ku
Hye-sun. He encouraged her to go after the one that she loved; who happened to
be Kim Hyun-joong’s good friend. Although he loved Hye-sun, he knew that she
loved his friend and decided that her happiness was important. So he encouraged
her to love, while protecting her along the way. So sweet! </span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In the Korean drama, "To the Beautiful You", I found that I like both the main guy, and also the second male lead. They both had my vote, although, I found myself supporting the second lead even more! I am just a softy to sweet, lovable leads! </span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">There will be
times, depending on how much you get involved with the drama, you are going to
be talking to the computer screen saying, “It’s okay.” Or thinking, “If it were
me, I would have picked you!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<h2>
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Korean Dramas</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">. If </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">you've</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> seen
any Korean dramas you probably got excited when I mentioned them just now. If
you haven’t seen any, you may be wondering why someone would watch them.</span></span></i></h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It’s quite simple, watch one Korean
drama and most likely you’ll get hooked on them for life. That’s what happened
to me, my sister, best friend and many others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">When I watched my first Korean
drama, to be honest, I turned it off. Why…..? Seriously, I was not interesting in reading
subtitles and I didn’t think that it could be that great. But then, one day I
was extremely bored and out of that boredom I decided to watch an episode of “<i>My
Princess</i>”. I was hooked on the first
episode. </span></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I remember it was a very busy
weekend; I had places to go and things to do. When I had a moment, even if it
was just 10 minutes, I spent that 10 minutes watching the drama. I left my
computer turned on with the episode up so I could quickly watch a few minutes
before leaving for my next activity. I watched all 16 episodes of “My Princess”
in about 3 days. Crazy right? If you watch Korean drama’s you’ve probably done
the same!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">You find yourself looking at
the clock late at night convincing yourself to watch just one more episode and
then clicking the play button to continue. You may cover your eyes afraid of what
happens next. Most likely, you will fall in love with the male lead and find
yourself smiling whenever he smiles or when he says, or does something sweet. You
will also feel the embarrassment of the main characters whenever something
awkward happens. On numerous occasions, I’ve stopped watching and walked out of
the room to calm down before continuing in my Korean drama. <b>They really draw you in!</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So why do we love Korean
dramas? </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I really can’t identify one specific </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">reason.
