용주의도 미스 신 (Miss Gold Digger)

miss-gold-digger

If you don’t like open ended or non-resolved movies, do not watch this!  I enjoyed the movie purely for the humor and individual jokes.  Among all of the movies I have seen so far, this might be the lowest on the scale as far as storyline goes.  Basically you have a girl who is keeping a few guys in order to choose the best one and you get to see how she evaluates them and how she handles them.

I won’t give away the ending, but I can kind of relate to it.  Right now I am just studying and doing my own thing.  I have a goal in the future and right now I’m not going to let anything get between me and achieving that goal.

Culture Notes

You see a few interesting points about Buddhist temples.  One is that meat is sort of a taboo item inside of a temple.  I don’t know if that is across the board but I have heard that many Buddhists believe they need to be vegetarians.  In the temple in this movie, the guy trying to become a lawyer says that it’s forbidden to eat meat inside of the temple.

You also get to see the 1,000 bow ceremony (I don’t know if they really do this or not, does anyone know)?  If anyone really does this, I can’t imagine how hard it would be just standing and sitting (basically) a thousand times.

While the main character participates in this ceremony, she holds Buddhist prayer beads.  If you don’t know what they are, try googling (I’m not an expert on the subject).  It appears that one says a prayer while holding the bead necklace and moves up one bead when they pray.  I believe the beads are there to help one concentrate on making the bad leave and letting the good come in.

원더걸스 (Wonder Girls) – Tell Me

This would not be a blog about Korea if I didn’t post only the most famous song EVER.  This song was a humongous hit in Korea.  I heard that almost everyone knew the lyrics and the dance.  The music video consists of a series of scenes where a Korean-version of wonder woman comes to save the day.

If you go on YouTube and search for wonder girls tell me dance you’ll see a million different people that have done it.  I’ve seen a fight attendant version, a police version, an army version, and there’s even a “drunkard” version (it’s quite amusing).

빅뱅 (Big Bang) – 하루 하루 (Day by Day)

Here’s a very emo music video by my favorite band, Big Bang.

타이푼(Typhoon) – 그래서 (So)

This is a fun techno mix on a classic.

이승철 (Lee Seung-Chul) – 소리쳐 (Scream)

This is is my list of top songs, I can’t listen to it enough times!
