I Love Korea

Boys Over Flowers

When I was young, it was my dream to go to Japan. I was so into it that I even learned the Japanese language with the help of my Japanese cousins. I was obsessed with anything about it, from manga to fashion, and even its culture. But I started to grow out of it and came another one...


With the sudden hype of Korean Wave (hallyu), I was one who got influenced by it. It started when Boys Over Flowers (Kottboda Namja) dominated the television. My cousin and I watched that show and we grew passion in the Korean culture. We started listening and dancing to Korean music. We started dressing the same style as them. She started putting Ulzzang make-ups on while I cut and dyed my hair with latest hairstyle Korean men do. We never grew out of it actually and even managed to learn their writing, called Hangul, and their super duper difficult language.

My Sassy Girl

As of now, we still share on what good Korean movie to watch. We watched plenty of them. Those heart-breaking and tear-jerking stories are sure hit to us. The best movie I've watched (for me) is My Sassy Girl. It's a good love story that did not need to add dying character but was still effective in making its audience cry.


My cousin also has her many Korean celebrity crushes. From Lee Min Ho to Jang Geun Suk, she seems to collect every good-looking boy that comes her eyes in watching Korean movies and dramas. She often falls into fight with other netizens who have crushes on the same person she has crush on, as if her real-life boyfriends.


On my part, I deeply fell into Korean skincare and fashion. I do their complicated steps in lotioning the face. I've learned many things on how to take care of my skin. From masks to packs, I am certain that I will never grow out of it. I always ask my relatives in Korea to send me skincare products, such as emulsion, essence, sunblock and the like. I even have my pending product still to be shipped to me, my Missha BB Cream. Hehehe.


I can say that Korean taught me VANITY. I really think it did. I guess it's a good thing for me especially to my appearance.
