friday - korean soap opera day

it's friday afternoon and i am just in time to catch a korean soap opera [with dubbed mongolian] at one of my favorite coffee shops. i'm not a huge fan of any type of soap opera, but the korean ones are pretty awesome in a horrible sort of way. i suspect strongly that the three mongolian girls sitting next to me have been waiting for hours to watch this show.

in today's episode:
there is a man and woman hanging out on a beach. uh oh...now the man in the episode has stripped down to his swim trunks and his innocent gal pal is having a hard time keeping her eyes off him. racy and scandalous! and now on the same beach but somewhere else, some girl is drowning in 2 feet of water (btw: her swimwear is extremely modest - a t-shirt and shorts) and a brave young man saves her. back on shore, the girl is limp but with a few violent shakes by her friend she magically comes back to life. her rescuer stoically walks away down the beach. throw in a couple lonely but attractive young people staring at each other across restaurants, an awkward dance party scene, a creepy fortune teller, a hot tub and a handful of over-acted, wide-eyed love/break up scenes and that's pretty much it.


this is the best friday ever.
