I was surprised when the office cleaning auntie stopped by my desk today and asked in mandarin, "Do you watch the korean drama every mon & tues nite?" Instantly, my eyes lit up and we began a 15-minute conversation discussing the characters we loved and hated, as well as the sob-sob parts which tugged at our heartstrings.

Haha. I never imagined that I would have a common conversation topic with the aunties, except for small talk about their kids and female ailments. Oh well, this incident clearly brings forth the continuously growing popularity of korean dramas. And as my other mum colleague (who's also crazy about the same show) explains, its because of their youth era. Supposedly, romance dramas used to be immensely popular when they were in their teens but this romance trend died off till the korean wave emerged in recent years. Ahh..now we know.

So I surmise, watching korean romances = recapturing a part of their youth? Maybe.

As a sidenote, I like my current cleaning auntie lots. Simply coz she's the sweet and amiable type of ah ma. And I never realised that the cleaning auntie at my previous workplace was rather fierce in comparison, till I met this one. Hehe.
