Queen Seon Deok makes the front page
Comments (9) Filed under: Free time, Movies, NewsTags: Damo, Drama, Korean, The Great Queen Seon Deok
If you bought the TV Guide (TV Satelit) I’m sure you’ve noticed the beautiful picture of Mi Shil (from The Great Queen Seon Deok) on the front page.
There’s also a 2 page article about the Korean drama inside the magazine, and there’s only good stuff written about it. In the article, they also mention something about the drama having its own Facebook page. So, if you’re on Facebook and you are a fan you should visit it (and even join).
Also, on TVR2 (not TVR1), there’s a new Korean drama: “Cronicile frumoasei luptatoare” (English name: “Damo”; Korean name “다모/조선 여형사 다모”). The first episode was aired this Sunday, but if you’ve missed you can watch it on Youtube (the subs are in Spanish).
And all I can say is that the Korean wave is definitely hitting us. Now, if they could only broadcast the music programs that would be awesome. In fact, I’ll go even with normal dramas like: “Coffee Prince”, “Boys over flowers”, “God of study”, etc.
Okay, the last one is still in production/filming but one can only hope right.

I bought the magazine just for that article… Maybe they’l air more Korean shows, even lifestyle or cooking shows. That would be nice…

I am a Korean. I am glad to see that people enjoy Korean dramas in Romania. It was reported in Korean news that Korean wave was growing in Romania, but it was not easy to believe that Korean dramas are being loved by Romanian viewers. I hope that more Romanians and Koreans become friends and get closer.
Thanks.

Hey Chopin. You are my first Korean to comment here, kinda makes me happy.
Well, I know about the article you are talking about, because my friends from “All About Best Friends Forever” were mentioned in the article and one of them (Diana) even got her picture posted.
It’s really hard not to love Korean culture, from movies to music and even entertainment shows. It’s a really big difference from what we get to see on our shows and what it’s aired in Korea.
Also, thanks for coming by and posting. Hope to see you more around.

Hundreds comments were added on the article. Some Koreans wrote that Romanians fans were prettier than Korean stars ^^.

Yup that’s the article, and she’s in the second picture.
I don’t know who’s in the first picture, but I agree she’s cute. Either way, that’s really nice of them to consider Romanian fans prettier than Korean stars ^_^, although I still consider that Koreans have flawless skin which is hard to obtain here.
I was thinking that the only barrier that is between your culture and ours is the language. Not many people here know Korean and it’s hard for them to keep up when they can’t understand what their idols are saying. For that I’m grateful for subs and for the idols who are learning English (like the Wonder Girls).

How Korean dramas are being aired? using subtitle or dubbing?
I know online K-drama sites (dramafever, mysoju, crunchyroll, …) but they only provide with English subtitle.
I saw that fans using different languages translated videos and posted in youtube with subtitle. I hope that people studying Koreans and Romanian language increase.
I can help you if you need help in understanding any Korean contents. I left you my MSN id. You can add me or send me an e-mail.
Thanks.

Korean dramas are aired with Romanian subtitles. I like them better this way cause I can enjoy the voice of the actor.
English subtitles are good also, but my parents don’t know English so that wouldn’t do any good to them. Hopefully new dramas will be aired soon, cause now they are being re-runed.
