Confessions of a SoKo Head


Last night I cried for hours before going to bed and crying some more. My heart was aching, my chest contracting, my mind racing with thoughts about what could have been...

And then I realized that I was wasting away in misery...over a South Korean television Drama series.

I kid you not. Tears and suffering galore all because the wrong guy got the girl. And I do mean the WRONG guy. After 27 hours of overly-intense, melodramatic action and a relationship that had me grabbing for the tissues while day-dreaming about Asian soul-mates they gave the girl to the wrong stinking guy.

The show is called "Boys Before Flowers"(yep, totally serious fare here...). It has sky-rocketed to fame in Asia and pitter puttered it's way to Hulu here in the States. (For those who dare to tread...go here.)

What was initially the humiliation of staying up way too late for my own good, cramming hours of Korean Drama goodness into my putrefying brain...has now become the uber-humiliation of absolute Fan-dom. Yes, I've put it out there...I LOVE Korean TV!

And Kim Hyun Joong? If you're reading this, please accept my offer of marriage and a life-time of undying love. Thank you, and good night.
