Right. I think the most attractive thing about Korean soap operas is that they stay close to real life. Even a show with such a serious historical topic as ''Da Chang Jin," isn't at all depressing or somber. And then there are soap operas like ''Look and look again" and ''Little Fisherlady." Even though they go on for dozens or even hundreds of episodes, the audience still watches them loyally. They follow the story from beginning to end. My mom and I are two die-hard fans like that. We have a big pile of DVDs at home. They're all Korean dramas.

我作为一个忠实的哈韩族，对此还是有点了解的。起先是韩国音乐的入侵，掀起了一股韩国舞曲潮流。曾经欧美乡村音乐、摇滚乐以及日本的电子乐占据了中国大多外来流行乐的市场，而韩国采集众国之长，融合R&B唱法、hiphop舞蹈等黑人音乐元素所创编的韩式街舞，刚一推出就大受欢迎。接着，韩国的时尚也开始在国内流行。很多年轻人都挑染头发或是穿着韩式阔腿裤。虽说有很多人批判韩国音乐模仿黑人舞曲，电视剧模仿日本偶像剧，并没有真正属于自己的东西，可是我倒觉得这代表了韩国流行文化能取长补短，创造出自己的风格。

As a loyal Korea-phile, I can sort of understand it. First, let's talk about the onslaught of Korean music. It's caused a surge in the popularity of Korean dance. In the past, American country music, rock-n-roll and Japanese electronica occupied the market in China for foreign pop music. Now Korean music has gathered up a ton of fans, combining the singing style of R&B, hip-hop dance moves and other elements from black music to create Korean style street dancing. As soon as it appeared on the scene, it was popular. Next, Korean styles are becoming popular in China. A lot of young people dye their hair or wear Korean style wide-legged pants. Although a lot of people criticize Korean dance for imitating black dance, and their TV shows for imitating Japanese programs, so that they don't really have anything of their own, I think that this represents Korean culture's ability to complement its own shortcomings with others' strengths. It's created its own style.

可不是嘛。记得九十年代末的时候还是日本偶像剧的天下。可是瞬间“韩流”来袭，大街小巷都哈韩，各种韩式料理，韩国明星，韩国小说，韩国服装都雨后春笋般冒出来。

Ain't that the truth. I remember at the end of the nineties Japanese soap operas were on top of the world. But then there was a sudden sneak attack from Korea, and now ''Loving Korea" is all the rage. Everywhere you go are Korean cooking, Korean stars, Korean novels, Korean clothes-- they're popping up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
