So, I am kinda ashamed to admit that I got addicted to Korean drama's. At least one series anyways. When I went to the LIKE school's essay and debate competition a few weeks back, someone told me about a site that streams Korean TV and movies (with sub titles).
The site name was very easy to remember, mysoju.com. Soju is the alcoholic beverage of choice by many Koreans and foreigners alike. Its quite similar to vodka, except its so much cheaper. At a variety store you can buy it for about $1.50. Makes the site easy to remember.
So I decided to try it out. Maybe I would have something to talk about with some of my students. I started watching one series, and I could not stop watching until it was finished. It was like a good book that you can't put down.
I'll briefly describe it...it started out with 3 lady's who were unmarried and each had children. One of the father's was around and spent time with the 3 little girls. His family was well off and his father wanted nothing to do with the poor lady who mothered his son's child. The man gets into a car accident and completely losses his memory.
The guys father comes to the mother of his sons child (whom has some disease) and gives her enough money to live her life with her daughter, and tells her to never associate with him or his son again. This makes her very sick and the trauma of it all ends up killing her.
The other two lady's are in a lot of trouble owing money to loan sharks and end up stealing the money. They also abandon the little girl at a train station at the age of 4. The rest of the series takes place 15 and 20 years later when fate brings the girl they abandoned back into their lives while her father begins to regain his memory and look for her.
Great series and highly recommended. If you click here you can watch the first part of episode 1 and decide for yourself.
