Exploring Korean - My Korean Experience

I was really fond of Itaewon Class since I started watching it due to its intense story line. But as I watch it more, I realized that there were lessons that we could get from it. If you could notice, there was a part there when Korean culture was shown through Park Saeroy's father. There was a scene when Park Saeroy's father taught him how to drink Soju.

These are very important to Koreans so this kind of lesson is very important especially if you are to drink with Korean bosses, Korean colleagues, Korean friends and their families. STEP ONE: Receiving or giving something should be done using two hands . This also applies when receiving drinks. This is very important because it signifies politeness and respect.

Today marks the start of the month of April. So, do you know what it means? It is April Fool's day! This is the day when people post unbelievable or hard to believe news in social media like having positive pregnancy kits, being in a sudden relationship status, winning the jackpot prize in a lottery or buying an enormous house and luxurious car.

Just like the title, I could not stop watching it after seeing Episode 1. I was not supposed to watch Itaewon Class yet since the drama is still ongoing. Aside from that, I do not usually watch dramas that are ongoing because I hate waiting for every episode. But Thanks to 'Hi, Bye, Mama', ( I ran out of episode in Netflix, this drama is also an exception since it was really interesting ) I was tempted to watch Itaewon Class on Thursday, last week. And never did I regret doing it! I finished watching until episode 14 last Sunday morning~ My friend told me I watched the drama really fast! Well yeah~ I have nothing to do but take good care of my baby so time surely flies so fast~ Added to it is this really interesting kdrama which made me want to watch every episode immediately due to its very interesting plot and characters! WHAT MAKES ITAEWON CLASS INTERESTING TO WATCH? I have listed 4 major reasons that made me want to watch Itaewon Class. Listed below a...
