Question 1 "“Hi Tom, this is a silly question… but I am just curious, are you Korean? Do you speak Korean? Thanks” Answer: No, I am not Korean. But I am fascinated with everything Korean (culture, history, food, language, TV dramas, etc). I lived in Korea for a few years back in the early 1990s. I learned to speak the Korean language on a very basic level. I studied the Korean language for a few semesters in college. My professor used a Korean TV drama to help us learn the language. And that was it. I was hooked on Korean TV dramas. Question 2 “I'm looking forward to Jumong being released next month. I have a question regarding the length of the episodes. I've been following the forums for Jumong and what I read doesn't necessarily match what I see on TV. Some of the storyline I expected to see from what I read was cut out. Will the episodes on the DVD be edited too? We're still watching it here in HI and loving it. So sorry my question is so long. THANKS! Answer: I too am sooooo excited for our upcoming Jumong release. We will divide up the 81 episodes into four DVD boxsets (about 20 episodes per boxset). Our Jumong release will be the "un-cut" / "un-edited" version. Our DVD release will match exactly with the original broadcast version in Korea.

Review from: Suite 101 Reviewer: Christine Miguel Title: Lovers in Prague Film actors plus a sophisticated script - just when you think it's getting predictable, it becomes unexpected. See what I mean in the Korean Drama - Lovers In Prague. In Lovers In Prague, Foreign affairs officer Jae-Hee (Jeon Do-Yeon) tries her best to keep a low profile in Prague as the daughter of South Korean's president. Putting her life back together after a painfully silent separation from Young-woo (Kim Min Joon) was no easy feat. Things take a turn for the unexpected when she meets Sang-Hyeon (Kim Joo-Hyuk), a police sergeant who arrives in Prague attempting to mend the broken relationship with his girlfriend Hye-joo (Yoon Se-Ah). This drama rates very high on my list. In a similar comparison with My Lovely Sam Soon, it matches film actors Jeon Do-Yeon and Kim Joo-Hyuk (winner for the 2005 Baeksang Award for Best Actor in a TV Drama) with a sophisticated script and plot elements that when you think it's getting predictable, it becomes unexpected.

Review from: DVD Talk Reviewer: Jeffrey Robinson Title:Singles The 2003 movie Singles comes from South Korea and it is dubbed as the Korean version of Sex in the City. The film is about four single twenty-somethings who are quickly approaching thirty. Life is about sex, work, friends, and trying to make something of oneself before turning the big 3-0. The movie was very popular; it was recognized at multiple international film festivals. Na Nan (Jang Jin-Young) is the primary character. She is twenty-nine, and soon to be thirty. In the beginning of the story, her life is almost perfect. She has a great job; she is a fashion designer at a hip company called 1492. Her goal is to take the next step, which is tying the knot with her boyfriend before she turns thirty. Unfortunately, Nan's life comes crashing down--her boyfriend dumps her for no good reason and she is demoted. Nan's new job is manager at a Chili's restaurant, which is not the direction she had hoped for her career. Click Here to continue
