Hi 2 u! I think that u can come back our country when u want! Now the policy has changed, please don't think like in 1970s  I was born in Hanoi, sometimes I know that some guys don't like Hanoi people b/c of thinking in War's years. Studying and living in Australia is good and I realise that having Vietnamese friends is great too, b/c we're Vietnamese!!!
I like watching K-drama as well! I like Bi-Rain  and yesterday night watched "my bf is type B". That's cool! It made me cry when saw the advertising tape that Young-Bi illustrates about his love for Ha-mi! If you guys haven't seen that, can go to www.giotnuoc.com. This website also has some other K-dramas are good as well, now I'm watching "love story in Havard".
I also like Hk film! I like Andy Lau! His film always make me cry!!!

1. I'm viet and I can listen, speak, read, and write it but only moderately. What I have the most trouble with would be reading and speaking though. Despite being able to read it, I'll probably have difficulties understanding it so that makes reading it without the symbols annoyingly difficult for me. As for speaking, I find that starting a conversation to be the hardest part cause I was never really sure how I should address a person: bac, chu, chi, ang, ba, ong, etc. and also myself: em, chau, toi, ta, etc. Even when I was learning Japanese in HS, they didn't have as many different ways to speak to so many different people. I mean, when all else fails, use "watashi" and the person's name with -san/-sama on the end.
Anyways, I guess you can say I'm proud to be viet, either that or I'm happy that my parents are viet cause I get to eat all the delicious food (though I have to admit that there are some that aren't as appetizing as I would like). ^^
2. Despite what people say, I really enjoy korean dramas. As for the two girl/two guy thing... ehh... it's a given. Korean excel at romantic dramas and love RIVALRY is the ultimate conflict in romance. It's like if you watch a horror movie, there is a good chance that someone is going to get killed but just because that one aspect is the same for most of the movies, you wouldn't go saying that all horror movies are the same thing. If it was like that then all you have to do is watch one movie of each genre and generalize the rest of them. Then again, think about all the free time you would have...
OH, and another thing I noticed from a few people is that they say they hate a specific series or character from a series and I admit that it happens to me more than once. However, if you have ever said that then you should know that the producer, director, and whole production team have succeeded in assuring one thing--that you aren't just a passive viewer. Sucks to know, huh? The one show that you couldn't bear to finish cause it was upsetting you so much had at least manage to stir up your emotions.
3. This really shouldn't be made into a political battle over VC or whatnot. Although I can understand the negative sentiments about VC from some people (especially seeing how the majority of first generation viets went to America or other places to escape from the VC), but having been back to Vietnam three times already, I can attest to the fact that it's has been slowly getting better over there. Hopefully things will start getting better between the North and the South but like captain-nippon says, at least Vietnam is one country unlike Korea, and we really shouldn't be hating our own people.
I do believe that I made this long enough as my contribution to this thread. =P

But HK films are still good!!! just dramas consist of bad acting and plots Laugh

I agree, hong kong movie nowaday are not bad since the economy is improving but if you watch hk movie during the asian crisis around 1997-1999 most of them were rubbish, but since Infernal Affair, everything has changed. In fact my most anticipated movie of this year is a Hong Kong movie entitled Sha Po Lang starring Donnie Yean and the mighty Sammo Hung, there are a dozen people who are lucky to watch it at Toronto Film Festival and they are hyping it as the best action movie ever made. That put Ong Bak second i guess. hahaha

I do agree with some of your comments about Korean dramas. They tend to be redundant but sometimes the plots are well-formulated even though you know what's going to happen @ the end. Also, the actors and actresses help make the dramas more attractive. Personally, I'd read the storyline of the drama first. If I like it then I'll look @ the actors/actresses...if they're unattractive then I wouldn't watch it. As for Korean movies, I do admit they're good but I think sometimes they're a little too short. Maybe I just got used to watching 10+ dramas. Big Smile
Oh and I'm a Southern Cali girl but am currently stuck in Stockton for the next 3 years because of school. Southern food rocks!!! Ok, I've given my opinion and now I'm going to bed. On the last note, I'm glad this thread was started. :-D |
Welcom to the forum Cynthia and enjoy yours stay.
Yeah i agree with most of what you and i wish to add that some korean movie do go overtime but Japanese drama tend to get to the point so there is not much time wasting, but it really depend on the preferences of the viewer at the end of the day.
