[Discussion] Asian drama influences on our real life

sometimes if we are watching kdramas or any drama's to a point that theres a funny dialog or expression... we often reneact and say the word which a character use in the scene repeatedly and then follow by laughing at each other :)

Nobuta is a great drama! It tends to be overlooked by some because it appears like the typical idol-teen drama, but it has a fantasic script and it's a wonderful story of friendship. At least, that's my opinion. :)

This said, I love to say: Tadaima! And at times I say Okairi to my husband, who usually looks at me with the resigned expression of someone who has to put up with oddities on a daily basis.
But that's a linguistic factor, I guess, not necessarily related to dramas.
:)

p.s.... Yay Susu!

Yes i did sometimes.
Molla (read: Bulla in Korean) = Bulla (in Javanese) ==> same meaning in my country as I DON'T KNOW. I used it many times.
An dwae (Korean: Don't do it) ==> Yell at my nephew named Andre ==> DON'T Do It Andre (An dwae Andre) :D :D :D
When surprise at something = Omo!
Once Korean neighbour said: "iki buya" |My maid said: "Pisang (banana)." |Ahjusshi: "bissan ? (read: pisang, Korean: expensive)" | Ahjusshi: "museun bissan ?" |My maid: "PISANG... (coz she doesn't know how to speak Korean nor English)" |Me: LOL ROFL till coughing :D

Nice thread, Susu :)

Lately my wardrobe is filled with T-shirts with hoods. I have noticed that the female characters in K-Dramas wear these types of T-shirts, mainly those who are the messy/geeky type like Park Gae In (Personal Taste) :P So when I spotted them at a shop, I bought them. I wear them with blue jeans and I think I somewhat look like one of those K-Drama girls. The only problem is my hair. If only I had a Chinese cut hairstyle!
I often say 'Aigoo' to myself and have the urge to use a few Japanese and Korean words in everyday life. In fact, I use them sometimes at school among my friends. Like on my birthday a few days back, when my friends gave me chocolates, I said 'Kumapsumnida' and they were like, 'Eh? What?' I then explained them what it means, LOL.
Also in dramas when something goes wrong or someone says something annoying to a character, he/she makes exaggerated faces whether they're in public or on their own so lately I have found myself making such faces :P No, not in public but definitely when I am on my own, like if I get a paper cut or see something astonishing in a drama on my computer screen.
I have began to greet my friends more than before! Earlier I was very informal to my best friends. I didn't even say 'hi' if we met; simply started with whatever I had got to say . But now I greet them in the morning with a 'Good morning' and say 'hi' whenever I meet them.

It definitely is difficult! I especially want to do it with a frantic hand waving as for a small child. I saw my friend’s baby today and she had just learned how to wave her hand and I so wanted to utter a chirpy “annyeong!” instead of boring Finnish “Hei hei”. I did not slip but boy, it wasn’t easy… :S

I know that look, I get it from my little brother when I go home at my parent’s place and can’t help but say “tadaima” wishing that someone would respond with “okaeri”. However, I do imagine that our dog’s enthusiastic tale waving and jumping means “okaeri”. And then my mind wanders to Kimi wa petto… Anyway, our dog is about the only person to whom I can speak as much of Korean and Japanese as I want and it won’t give me weird glances. By now it has already used to hear its name with “chan” attached at the end whenever I call him. =)

I make exaggerated faces as well and then go “aish, jinja…cheongmal… ike buya? Aish” with my rather limited Korean vocabulary… :P

[QUOTE=ilovesuperman;6318]4. I caught myself nodding when greeting people or thanking them. I didnt realize it until last week when my friend who I havent met for a while asked my "what are you doing with your head, girl?”QUOTE]

This one! I’ve noticed I do it, too! Since it’s not totally unheard of to nod just a little no one has remarked on it yet but I guess if I continue to do it, someone might find it weird.

There is also a long list of expressions: I use frequently “ottokhe”, “yoshi”, “fighting” and “jinjja”. Judging by the answers so far, languages seem to be the easiest/first thing to adopt from dramas.

Personally, I’ve also been influenced by the food culture. I’ve started to eat more instant noodles :P Not the best thing for your health probably but very useful when you have nothing else at home. Also, I had never eaten with chopsticks before but recently I got myself a pair and I’ve been practicing on my own how to use them. :) Other than that, I think I dress more prettily and femininely nowadays and I also like cute things more than before. There’s still a limit to the cuteness that I can take but I did get myself a cell phone charm - something that would have been impossible, say, still a year ago.
