I have a question.

Alright...
You know how they do certain things in dramas like prick the thumb and squeeze out the "bad blood" when someone has indigestion?
Well, I've seen many times in dramas where they'll eat this white ball...thing when they're nervous or before they take a big test. I'm wondering if anyone knows what this is?
I've seen it in Playful Kiss and Dream High recently, and I'm wondering what it is.
Thanks! ^^

It happens around 4:40
She opens that little white case and pops some...thing in her mouth.
I've seen this done many times in dramas.

As Sgramirez already explained, they are taking Cheongsimhwan, a traditional Korean herbal medicine which is considered good for anxiety and nervous states.

*Cheongsimhwan, a traditional Korean herbal medicine, is composed of about 30 different kinds of herbs. This herbal medicine is believed to promote the circulation of the peripheral blood.* font: clinical research grant from Pusan National University Hospital 2010.

Needless to say, the clinical research did not found out that the medicine is effective; it only stated that it didn't have effects. :P

Awesome! Thanks guys. ^^

The nose-tongue in rapid succession is usually when an arm or a leg has fallen asleep. Or anything else for that matter.

Funny enough........is the fact that I've tried that. Doesn't work. Maybe it's a mental thing. Not sure.
