As mentioned by some others, a great way to "feel" Korean is to watch Korean dramas. They are cheesy, corny and sappy, but it's one time where I can feel like I'm part of Korea. Check out the site www.dramafever.com. The dramas are free and the video quality is top notch. Kim,

They are popular around the world from the US to Iraq (Korean drama is #1 in Kurdistan). It will certainly help your self-esteem seeing so many attractive Asian men and women on screen. Right now Korean drama and pop culture is becoming dominate in Asia and many people around the world find Koreans hot and sexy (bet you didn't know that). I know Asians who has visited the Middle East and have people come up to them asking them if they are from Korea and how much they love it. That's what a good dose of Winter Sonata can do to people. As for your kids, take them to see Wolverine and show them the hotness called Daniel Henney - he's a hapa Korean-American like them and a star in Korea. Tell them being a super-model maybe in their future. Maybe even you might start finding Asian men attractive. :) Here's a famous ad with Dan with Gwyneth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ8DPeOvNYQ Here's a bunch of Round-Eyes in Philly crazy about K-drama who might give you some pointers on what to watch: http://forum.koreandramas.net/ Kim, just get into Korean Drama and you’ll learn about real Korean culture and history (and how real Asians act in an Asian society).
