Does My Breath Smell Like Kimchi?

 Last night, in order to get into the spirit of BBF series night, we opened a jar of Kimchi. When we opened it, it was bubbling.  In my head, I heard the word "BOTULISM!" being screamed over and over. I looked at Dest and told her that if we didn't make it, it was great knowing her. Then we took the plunge.

This morning, as I sit here eating my leftover General Tso's Chicken (shout-out to Ming Garden), I reflect upon last night. Oh TC! Oh Emo! Oh Grass (Jan Di)! Oh Golem (Ga Eul)! Oh Dragoness (The Chairwoman/TC's mother)! Watching episodes eleven through sixteen was both painful and amusing.

First, I swear Emo was wearing colorful ankle socks with his dress shoes. I swear I will never understand Korean fashion. The other fashion highlights include Grass wearing her pajama bottom to deliver milk and newspapers (she was wearing other clothes too, in case anyone was confused), Emo's entirely white conductor's formal attire, and the various hideous sweaters worn by just about everyone. Not even going to do more than mention Grass and Golem's party attire for TC's birthday event. Also, is it ALWAYS winter in Korea? Six months had passed during one point, but everyone is still all bundled up. Color me confused.

Next, I wonder: Doesn't anyone know how to have open communication? Oh DAMN at the pride of both TC and Grass! Either the storyline or the Kimchi has given me gas. On the other hand, despite TC being so cruel to her, Grass does persevere, even if it means her being stomped to shit emotionally by Dragoness. TC at the airport, falling to the floor and crying almost made me cry (if I were a pubescent girl), but I managed to hold it all in. Nice to know that Emo is always there to pick up Grass when she needs to be (also, I love how they always swoop in to save her - F3/4, that is).


So, Dragoness is behind a lot of the misfortune that befalls Grass' family, though most of us could have figured that out. Although I wonder how a chairwoman for a global company has that much time to pull the life strings of so many people and still manage to function as chairwoman. However, I do believe that she is beautiful when she smiles, albeit in a condescending and evil sort of way.

Golem and Cassanova (So Yi Jung, the potter dude) have an interesting subplot. It's cute and way less dramatic than the plot of TC and Grass, and I wonder how this will turn out. I also wonder if anything will ever appear/progress romantically for Gangsta (Song Woo Bin), the one who is rumored to have mafia ties. Gotta love how he randomly spurts out ghetto-ish style sayings.

In closing, I must say that I enjoyed the episodes that we watched last night and I enjoyed bastardizing the Kimchi with stale Everything Flatbread from World Market and Long Beans from the Korean store. Yum yummy! Who's ready for the next installment??
