fukdane 2 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Did anyone else see any of that sad sad program on tv last night all about Yon-san and the kankoku boom. I saw about 20 minutes and in it I saw 2 ladies gush about the place where Yon-sam stood to film an ad in a hotel, the place where he sat to grin in same ad and where he sat to eat some chocolate for a new ad (intercut with his comments "it was really tough having to smile and eat chocolate at the same time, I had to do it 30 times....") Before that they had stood in some of the famous places from that drama he did and also drooled over some posters of him in a subway and a life sized cardboard cutout of him. And also introduced us to some ugly 30,40+s who were doing all the tours of the locations. As much as I didn't want to, I couldn't help feeling a superior being watching the sad display shown by these people. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 fukdane, I caught a few mins of that too. I think that was with Ueto Aya in it eh? What a load of shit that was. Cant stand it. Fuyuno sonata sucks. Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I think they would have made a better program if they had covered the cheeses of South Korea in more detail. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I just got back from the video shop, new korea drama videos everywhere, probably 30 copies of Winter Solice (?) alone, scary! Yeh I saw part of that show too! Had to change channel real fast! Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I saw a couple of minutes of it, all I could stand. It was the bit where there were some 40 year old Japanese women scouring a beach (for some coins or something?) that was a location for the series or something. And yes, they were pretty ugly. I wonder why that is? Link to post Share on other sites

Bloody hell, I feel for him... hard life. I just bloody well hope that he gets paid well for having to put up with such requirements. I hate to see people like this underpaid and shit.

scouser 4 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 You were all secretly watching it for the full 2 hours, weren't you? Go on - admit it. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I watched it all. It was really funny, some people are so stupid, its hard to process. That guy must be raking it in big time. No wonder he's toothy grinning it all the time. Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I saw some of that as well, very educating it was. Some people are totally nuts. Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 We can only hope the the quick demise of the kankoku boom, and the rise of something even more annoying (and funny) Link to post Share on other sites
blinkin'ek 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 All these programs are sponsored by Lotte. Kankoku must thank Lotte. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 That's because Lotte is originally a Korean company... Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I thought it still was a Korean company. Link to post Share on other sites

SHAG 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 The dramas started the ball rolling, then when a bud of a craze was spotted all sorts of big bucks were thrown in. And that brings us to the fine mess we're in now. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yonsama reminds me of Harry Potter for some reason... I agree w/DB, Korean nori is the best! Everytime I'm in Korea I pick up a bunch. It's soo cheap. Why the "kankoku boom"? Guilt? Bored with the US? Neighborly affection? It could also be that the ban on Japanese movies and music in Korea was lifted a couple of years ago (I think) hence promoting a Japanese boom in Kankoku that is being reciprocated in Japan. Sort of a "we'll watch and listen to your stuff if you watch and listen to ours" kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Are those Japanese dramas similar in style to the J-dramas? You know, the very slow page, the bad acting, the standing 5 meters away from each other in the pouring rain at night time to have that "difficult discussion" etc. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Yes they are fairly similar in many ways from what I've seen rach. Perhaps they are mimicking the style of the popular Japanese ones? (or the other way round)? Link to post Share on other sites
