Finding out he grew up in Uzbekistan to south-korean parents who grew up there...How cool! Asked ChatGPT how this influences him:
Uzbekistan cultural values vs south korean cultural values... + compare how it influnced: A) South-korean man aged 25 who grew up in Uzbekistan vs B) South-korean man aged 25 who grew up in South-korea ??
## Key Cultural Values: Uzbekistan vs. South Korea
## Influence on Identity: South Korean Men, Age 25
### A) Grew Up in Uzbekistan
- Likely influenced by Uzbek values of hospitality, religious tolerance, and multiculturalism[1][3][5]. - May have a more flexible identity, blending Korean diligence with Uzbek openness and adaptability[6]. - Family remains important, but social interactions may be warmer and more informal compared to Korea[8]. - May experience a hybrid identity, balancing Korean heritage with local Uzbek customs and possibly speaking multiple languages[6].
### B) Grew Up in South Korea
- Strongly shaped by Confucian values: respect for hierarchy, elders, and social harmony. - Greater pressure to conform, succeed academically, and uphold family honor. - Less exposure to multiculturalism; identity is more homogeneously Korean. - Likely to be more competitive and group-oriented, with a clear sense of national identity.
## Summary
A South Korean man raised in Uzbekistan (A) will likely have a more multicultural, adaptable, and tolerant worldview, with a hybrid identity shaped by both Korean and Uzbek values[6][8]. In contrast, one raised in South Korea (B) will be more influenced by Confucian traditions, social hierarchy, and a strong sense of Korean national identity[8]. Both, however, share deep respect for family and hard work.
LDW, Kim Nam Gil, Im Soo Jung, Lee Da Hee, Jeon Yeo Been, Namkoong Min, Chun Woo Hee, Kim Jae Young, Go Soo.....
Lol why are 90% of my biases' dramas releasing now around the SAME TIME this summer-autumn period☀️🍁, kdrama world has been dry for almost 1 year, until now when it's impossible to find time for all of them releasing at once suddenly!!! 😅😅😅
🎭 Current cast: Ha Jung Woo, Lim Soo Jung, Krystal Jung, Kim Jun Han, Kim Geum Soon, Shim Eun Kyung, Miyavi,…
Multiple Reunions happening 😂:
Kim Nam Gil Reuninting with Ha Jung Woo (they recently did a movie together), Kim Jun Han (Bandit), and Shim Eun Kyung (both were in Bad Guy kdrama in 2010), Lim Soo Jung reuniting with Krystal.
On June 25, media outlets reported that Kim Nam Gil will reunite with Ha Jung Woo through a cameo appearance in How to Become a Building Owner in Korea >>>> He's also reuniting with Shim Eun Kyung, both were in Bad Guy (2010)
(I thought since she's moving to the US with her new husband, that we wouldn't see her in kdramas anymore. 😅 Happy to have been wrong!) I'll guess she'll ocasionally be in korea for a few months fipming stints.
I HATE school setting in dramas, I'm glad they changed it to office setting! Too much screen time ends up on boring student side plots and less time for the leads!
Hopefully they'll do more than just typical office romcom though, but even if they don't, still better than school setting romcom.
So many dramas with potential got boring because of school setting ! Just look at Undercover High School and The Midnight Romance in Hagwon !
Does people actually read the content before complaining?To quote: "Instead of the school setting of the original…
Plus ,I've never a fan of "True to original" adaptions. What's the point.They lack creativity. Just ReRead the original, don't go around demanding a rehash of the same old same old!
please do share!! I didn't know this information, hell I didn't know there were Turkish drama remakes of Asian…
I also didn't realize they'd made THAT many remakes nowadays, until I saw the list. 😅
Adding I'm Sorry I Love You remakes and Full House remake into my Plan to watch next list!! Even the casting looks very good in them.
The King The Land remake is definitely a must watch once it has aired more eps - it has one of the best Turkish screenwriters with the best hit dramas behind them, they freaking wrote The great Kiralik Ask!

Maybe this can be a stepping stone?
Also Her paired with Choi Jin Hyuk! 😍 I've been silently wishing for this pairing for years, thinking they'd be so perfect as lead pair omg, !!!
What happened to her previously she chose bad roles and then doesn't work as frequently, which is bad for her career.
MY LITERAL TOP TOP TOP FAVS ARE PAIRED TOGETHER AND IN A ROMANCE OMG?!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
.I
MUST.
BE.
DREAMING.!!!!
FOR YEARS i've been thinking have these 2 would be A PERFECT PAIRING!!!!!
.....I said until I read lame plot of divorcing couple 😰
Not a fan of this type of plot 😅
Adding I'm Sorry I Love You remakes and Full House remake into my Plan to watch next list!! Even the casting looks very good in them.
