I was searching youtube for "Let's Learn Korean" and found this clip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4W3Vp99-HU
I was intrigued by the description (I probably shouldn't reproduce it here though.) It turned out to be fairly unhelpful for the purposes of learning Korean (the show is designed for Koreans who want to learn English) but it blew my mind with its sheer cheesiness.
The show's script and acting are unforgivably bad. This actually aired on EBS? Have any of you actually watched it? |

'stunningly awful' is being generous.  |

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and throw my unknown reputation to the wolves and say it's not that bad. it's a kids show for one. and it's in korea, the land of cheesy overacting.
kids' shows anywhere are hardly the beacon of light for future jack nicholsons are they? |

I came across it 'channel surfing', and couldn't stop watching because I was fascinated by its insipid crap. |

Last semester when we had a class to kill (textbook material was finished) my co-teacher was really excited about a website she had found. She really wanted to show the kids these educational videos. I let her do it. It was these "Michael, my friend" videos. Dear God those were awful to the point of being hilarious. The jealousy those two young Korean girls have over that little boy, and he's oblivious to it. Haha I ended up getting a kick out of it, but the kids LOVED IT for some reason. They were all cheering for more at the end of the episode. Glad it was only for one class. |

Not any worse than the shows for adults.  |
