Votearama , literary speedating, Korean Drama

Way too many talent-vote shows these days ; but guess it's better (at least for politicians ) that the people vent their popularity vote tendencies prior to any political elections? Sarcasm galore

I saw a funny post on Dr J's site on literary speedating; I hate the Romantics (Ok, ok, I'm a philistine but who wants to listen to a bunch of guys (mostly) high on opiates, alcohol and naturalism yap (those thuds are English professors collapsing from the shock at this heresy!)

Why are Korean dramas so popular? Guess it's a combination of foreign culture, bitter-sweet lovestories, poptunes that sound so much better 'cos they're in a language you don't comprehend hence less gag, good looking actors and great humour - all of which are present in the current Lovers in Paris , mindless entertainment but good fun
