Soon after my divorce Covid struck and I spent a lot of time at home trying to figure out my thoughts on relationships and dating. The first k-drama I watched made me cry for the first time in a very long time which made me watch more.
I’ve always felt I have a different view on relationships, humanity, way of life than others around me but have conformed to common practice where I live. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the dramas reflected a view on these things much closer to my own. It felt like coming home. While visiting Korea I’ve experienced both the sides that makes me feel recognition but it also has made me see how big the differences are. I’m still curious … Now I spend more time learning korean than watching dramas.
