Korean Movies
It goes without saying that VN's youth culture has now been much changed by several external influences. One of which comes from Korean movies.(KM)
The craze for KM is reflected in fashion,music, and step by step ... our way of life.
Most KM end in tears and cancer. A number share the same range of cast. We may see one movie, and figure out how things will be like even before the end. Still, we scurry home to catch the next espisode on t.v.
So, what's the magic behind these KM?
First, it's the good-looking,fashionable cast, the marvelous scene, the well-chosen background music...the everything that helps a movie make inroads into audience's hearts. There we see penniless yet beautiful, well-dressed people making good deeds, living like angels. So they may have to work hard, but it seems without sweat and tiredness. Thus, no anger at all vented on others (if only my parents could be like that!)
Second, it's the ultimate difference from true life. Km bring us to a place of incredible romance, where people can all day moan and craze about love, without worrying what awaits them ahead . For an hour or two, we live just like how we want : you may go for a coffee with friends during working hours, and the boss is naively silent. Or you may elope (if the script forces us to do so) with your sweetheart to a peaceful, dreamlike place - still living like a lord on the little money you have! How superb!
