I’m watching this drama, “미우나 고우나 - Likable or Not” in KBS, Astro. Well, Astro AEC has finished airing a Singaporean drama and so I changed to KBS Channel. He is Baek-ho, 백호 and she is Dan-pung, 단풍(as in drama). What I wanted to say about them and the drama? First, I found that their expressions in it (as in the picture – like the best ever perfect match) are so lively – lovingly and respecting each other. “Baek-ho ssi, 백호씨 … Dan-pung ssi, 단풍씨 ”, not “chagi-a, 자가야 …”.

Then, I get to know what a Korean must try their best to secure their job. Like us here, when you got fired, you can just tell your family that you’re fired and you’re going to look for another job. That’s all. The family wont questions much and not giving any hard time to them as they believe that they could search for another better jobs, plus, it’s no use to cry over split milks.

But in this drama, when Baek-ho got fired, everyone was SO shocked and kept on asking, “Mwo-ra-go, 뭐라고”?? However, Baek-ho wasn’t doing any wrong as he has been “attacked” by someone in the company. Seems like once you get a job in Korea, you must put your best effort to maintain the job. If you get fired, either it’s proven that you’re not capable or you’re the black sheep of the family. What a culture... A "mean chi" (cantonese) one...

I think, it has its advantage… and also disadvantage. If I were given a job in the future, I’d do the best and be honest in all dealings.
