i think the food thing it's because they're supposed to promote korean culture since kdramas + kpop have become…
When you're talking about the national psyche and the culture, 90's isn't that long ago in the collective memory. Attitudes of a culture change slowly. Many of their collective cultural attitudes about food and eating stem from these hardships they've been through in relatively recent times, generationally speaking. Which is ehy I give the example of sawdust soup. My gramma experienced hunger in the 1930's and her attitudes about food were passed down as a result to the next 2 generations of kids. Now our attitudes about food are different because times have changed, but when you are raised in this way, there are certain habits or views about food that you don't easily let go of. Like throwing away food. No one raised by my gramma or her kids has an easy time throwing away food, because that's how we were raised. My son has no such problem, he's three generations separate from her. An example of how it can sometimes take nearly 100 years for a family's attitudes to change over time.
I'm from Europe and I mostly watch Thai dramas. Here are my cultural shocks:1. My first drama was KinnPorsche,…
8. Christianity is trendy and hip over there the same way in america it's cool and hip and trendy to be a Buddhist. It's just so exotic. I think the way skoreans "do" christianity is equal parts horrifying, hilarious, and cool.

Idk, I've had korean friends that get really homesick because american food sucks. And I started making korean food, and it's HIGLY addictive if you're cooking it right. There's another thing at play there too: They have not long risen from poverty as a nation, and for people who still have family generations alive who know what starvation feels like, the whole family kind of focuses around food because it's a symbol of safety and prosperity. My gramma used to tell us stories about being so poor and hungry that once they actually ate sawdust soup. And when she got older, she was obsessed with cooking and baking, and it was her way of showing love. Another dimension to it: I've seen a lot of those youtube documentaries about Nkorea, and it is BAD up there, they've had waves of famine that are unspeakably horrific. Koreans are big on family, and many families still live with the pain of separation. South Koreans know they might have loved ones literally starving in NoKo. That kind of upset makes you feel guilty about eating. I've seen North Koreans smuggled into SKorea weeping over their food and unable to eat due to guilt. SKoreans as a mass-culture have learned to process this bad feeeling, by being APPRECIATIVE of food, in a way many other cultures are not. They eat enthusiastically because if they were stuck in NKorea, they would want their loved ones who were free from Kim Jong to eat and be well and healthy and not feel guilty about eating. Food is very very important to koreans on some really deep psychological levels.
I've been cooking and eating about 60% korean food at home for a few years now, and the other day my boss brought in a 2-gallon tub of kimchi along with some other foods, and I was like "KIMCHI!??" and couldn't stop thinking about it all day, how it was yummy and I was going to have a lunch that would go good with a pile of kimchi. But then I got to the break room for lunch, and my dumb american boss had turned the ENTIRE container into a very unappetizing and amateur vat of "kimchi friend rice" and it was so laughable, I felt like Uncle Roger "AIYAAAAA!!! What is that, chili jam?!?! Did you rinse your rice??" And I was so upset that she'd wasted all that yummy kimchi.
Korea- it surprised me, that their food consist of many separated ingredients in many bowls instead of just one…
omg with the ancient chinese/korean cross-dressing thing, in some of them, she's even wearing lipgloss and shadow/mascara and we're supposed to believe that they all believe she is a male. Come ON. Women have hips, women don't have stubble or adams apples. Women are smaller and have different voices and bone structure. AI can tell a male vs a female face with a 95+% accuracy rate, and that's just AI. People aren't stupid. I have never understood why they rely so much on this trope when it's so ludicrous.
Xie wei is the hottest male role, but I think she would be so much happier if she ended up with Yan Lin. She is…
I'm really cheerful and free spirited, and I ended a 5year relationship with a perfect nice guy because it was too tame and predictable of a relationship for me, it started to give me bad claustrophobia. Then I ended up meeting a hot tempestuous "bad boy" type, and we were together for 12 years, and all the way through we were gaga over eachother like teenagers, it never got boring, or predictable at all.
Of course all women are like snowflakes. But just in personal experience, it came down to this: "The only thing worse than a man you can't control, is a man you can."
Not to mention, if you are with someone you think is "better" than you, then you may have landed a man above your level, but you'll always feel A) guilt that you're not as good of a person has he is and B) isolated, because there's parts of your character you don't think your man will ever be able to truly understand and C) Existentially bored.

She says right at the beginning that she's from India.
