I previously wrote:
Meanwhile, we both can agree that Korean dramas need a lot of help. For foreigners, these dramas might best be seen as language aids. Then again, whether they teach true "saeng-hwal-hanguk-eo" is another subject for discussion.
Charles replied by email:
Strangely enough, many foreigners (in particular women from other Asian countries) view the Korean language as a drama aid. That is, they don't watch dramas to learn Korean, they learn Korean to watch dramas. Whenever I hear about someone like this a little part of me dies inside.
