I wanna know more about dating in SK, do people act as "pure" as in dramas ? A friend's friend who went there told him that he had a hard time flirting with girls and that they usually are very prudish.
I can't really speak about what it's like dating girls in Seoul, but from what I've seen, they're probably no different from the girls in your home country. For many of us drama fans, dramas are really the only direct contact we have with an authentic part of Korea/Japan/Hong Kong/Taiwan/Mainland China's culture, and I'm using culture here loosely because really we're consuming their POP culture. In the case of Korea, the three big broadcasters are government-run stations, meaning that there are a TON of strict regulations on what can and cannot be shown on tv. Recently, there's been an increase in privately owned cable networks, and the dramas produced by those channels tend to push the envelope further, but certain restrictions still apply. What I'm trying to say is: Korean dramas are carefully packaged to present what amounts to government-approved messages and tropes that don't necessarily map onto the way Koreans live their life on the ground, day to day.
So, do people act as pure as they do in dramas? Sure, those people exist. There are also people who are not so pure. And there are those people who do their thing in between pure and impure. I know some Korean girls who are waiting until marriage; I know others who are on the prowl every weekend. Your friend's friend might have just encountered more of the former than the latter, or the blame could be placed on his game being totally off. ^_~
Now, dating guys in Korea..........................................................
That can be summed up concisely by the following: men are men no matter where they're from.
