[Discussion] Asian drama influences on our real life

Jeaniessi wrote: I say them so she's picked it up. You know what is hilarious? Imagine a little girl sitting in her room with her Barbies. Like every girl in the world she has dressed Bab's (and her other friend 'Sparkle Hair Extension' Barbie) to the nine's and both Barbies are waiting to go out on a date with their anatomically incorrect Kens. A fake doorbell rings and the little girl fake walk/bounces the two Barbies to the imaginary door. Regular Barbie turns to Sparkle Hair Extension Barbie and says... "Palli! our dates are here!"

...and the Mom hiding around the corner watching cracks the hell up!!!

LMAO! That's awesome. When Little D gets old enough, you need to show her the wonders of Coffee Prince.

Just as someone wrote earlier my taste in clothes was a little "revolutionised", or let's say expanded. But just a little. I fancy those fluffy and airy tops drama-Koreans sometimes wear oh and hoodies. Before my drama time started I had a fable for training jackets when I was just hanging out, these days I prefer a yummy hoodie. I sometimes say "Omo", but quite often "Oi" - which I have rarely heard in dramas, but got as a little present from the anime Detective Conan. Otherwise... I have been slapping people around me all my life, so that's nothing new for me. ;)

I'll have to teach him it's not okay to slap people in the back of the head though. That's not nice! *raises hand in air* Guilty as charged. *sigh*

my 5 yo is IN LOVE with TOP. she walks around singing 'turn it up' and 'fantastic baby'. i'm teaching her korean so i try to drop in basic voc. all the time.

Oh great, thanks for this thread! The weirdest thing is this asian radar. Walking on a crowded street - bunch of europeans and I notice a person I think to myslef "Asian!" of course that my friends usually don't believe me so we have to make sure that my radar's working-incounspicuously looking at the person closer-and I'm right. It's getting kinda creepy..

Haha.. I started losing weight last year influenced by a drama.. (Drem High, Pil Suk) And lost 40 pounds :'D

Also I sometimes accidentally want to bow, too, when I'm meeting someone or apologizing to customers or something. I can always hold it back, though. ;)

so do i LOL I probley get random looks from my family and friends. I do it without realizing. haha I just bow without realzing its hard to stop myself. Someone asked where the toilets was once and i showed them and then they said thank you and i bowed and walked off LOL
seriously need to stop doing that :D

naww thats sooooo cute :P korean have cute aegyo faces ( most of them :P)

Wow love this thread its funny how we can all relate. I find myself slightly bowing all the time to customers. Especially when i see asians lol...funny thing is that a lot bow back. I usually use omo, aish, tsk tsk. I used a lot of words unconsciously, my friends look at me like a weirdo. It sucks not having any of your real friends liking the things you like, cause they can't understand you. When ever i can i try using chopsticks, all depends on what im eating. I love grocery shopping at the japanese/korean markets. I'm so happy when i find things i've seen in the dramas :D Find myself wanting white rice all the time, good thing i have a big rice cooker lol.
