Korean Music Festival 2009

I hear they have seats, although not the best ones, still available. The Korean Music Festival is held every year at the Hollywood Bowl. This year it is on Saturday, May 9. They have young pop bands and singers, as well as music for the more "mature audience" if you want to take your parents along. By the way, Korean boy band, SS501 is scheduled to perform and guess who's in that band? Kim, Hyung Joong, otherwise known as "Ji Hoo" from Boys over Flowers drama. Here's the link.

Just for Fun

We can't seem to stop talking about Boys Over Flowers! So if you still haven't watched it, we highly recommend it. One of our cousins, who is also 2nd generation Korean American, told us that watching the drama has helped her learn more about Korean culture. And boy is she addicted to it!

Since we are talking about dosiraks, we felt we had to include the cute dosirak designs that lead character Jandi created for lead man, Joon Pyo. :)

What's inside Jandi's bento box? Rolled egg omelete, broccoli, pink and white fish cakes, sausages wrapped in sea weed and chopped red bell peppers.

Here's a cooking video by Maangchi making Joon Pyo's favorite, the rolled egg omelete, which is a favorite dosirak (lunch box) item.

The future of Jan Di?

OK, some people have too much time on their hands to be doing this! But it's hilarious nonetheless!

We are so sad this drama is done...now what are we going to look forward to on Mondays and Tuesdays??

Boys Before Flowers Influence on Children's Fashion

The craze over "Boys Before Flowers" has affected Korean fashion! Adults and children are trying to get their hands on preppy clothing to dress like the characters of the drama series!
How cute is this???

OT: Boys Before Flowers

It's been awhile since I've been hooked on a Korean drama and this one will not disappoint! Both my sister and I are addicted. The story is about a high school sophomore whose parents own a dry cleaners. By luck she ends up getting into a very elite private school. It is there she meets F4, the 4 richest boys in the school. Check it out on mysoju.com! I warn you, you'll be up till the wee hours of the night!
