On My Way To Korea

Soulmate is definitely my favorite romantic-comedy drama to date, followed closely by Fantasy Couple.  It’s only twelve episodes long, so it’s shorter than your average drama.  Nevertheless, what’s there is worth any other full drama.  While most romantic comedies center on some sort of extraordinary event that throws the lovers together, Soulmate takes a more natural approach.  It takes some lovable characters and weaves their lives together through sadness and coincidences to guide them to their true soulmates.  On a personal note I don’t believe that everyone has some soulmate out there, but the illusion is quite alluring.  I think that by dedicating ourselves to our partners we can become that soulmate we are all looking for *gets off soapbox*.  After all, everyone needs a 서울메이트 (yes, I spelled that wrong on purpose…).  If you haven’t seen this go watch it.  Now!  (Sadly it’s a little hard to find this online, but I’m sure y’all are up to it)

There’s no trailer, but here’s a song I LOVE:
